In structural engineering knowledge there are different types of cement structural engineer should select between them to suit the environment and type of structures.
Types of Cement used in concrete structures.
Type I it's general type of cement, usually most common type of Cement
Type II : moderate resistance to sulfates, usually used when sulfates are founded in soil or ground water.
Type III: high early strength, it's used when quick remove of form-works or early strength is required. Please note High early strength NOT meaning high Compressive Strength,
Type IV: low heat cement, it's recommend to use in bulk or mass concrete which high hydration temperature will generate. The generated temperature may cause cracks in concrete.
Type V: high resistance to sulfates. It's commonly used in areas where high sulfates concentration in soil or ground water is founded.
