What is Portland-Limestone Cement Specifications about?

Portland-limestone cement (PLC) specifications in ASTM C595 and AASHTO M240 allow the addition of 5-15% limestone. PLC has similar physical requirements to other cement types but reduced chemical requirements. Using limestone improves particle packing and distribution, provides nucleation surfaces, and has some chemical reactions. PLC provides 10-15% reductions in energy use and emissions compared to standard cement due to the limestone addition and improved efficiency. The 15% limestone content level provi
