What Is Blended Cement? And What Are Their Types?

Blended cement is a uniform mix of ordinary portland cement and blending materials such as fly ash, limestone, slag, and silica fumes to enhance its properties. Blended cement improves workability, strength, durability, and chemical resistance of concrete. Blending of cement with different materials improved workability and pumpability, reduced water demand, enhanced bleed control, lower drying shrinkage and creep, improved resistance to sulfate attack and chloride penetration, and reduced potential for alkali-aggregate reaction.
