Portland Slag Cement (PSC)

Portland Slag cement  is produced by either grinding the Portland clinker with gypsum and granulated slag or blending the ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) with Ordinary Portland  cement . Composition of PSC cement ·                 -> It is produced with a combination of 45-50% clinker, 45-50% blast furnace granulated Slag and 3-5% of gypsum. ·          ->  Application of PSC cement ·          ->  It is used i n pre-cast concrete like pipe and block. Also used in structures like retaining wall, rivers, ports, tunnel etc. ·         ->   It is used in ready mix plants also. Advantages of PSC Cement ·                 ->It is gives low initial strength but gained equal or sometimes higher strength in higher ultimate strength. ·          -> It has low risk in alkali-silica reaction with aggregates and good resistance from sulphate and chloride attacks. ·          --> Due to its fineness it increase durability and reduced per
