Which type of cement is suitable for applications requiring reduced heat generation during hydration, such as in massive foundation elements?
38. Which type of cement is suitable for applications requiring reduced heat generation during hydration, such as in massive foundation elements?
- Normal setting Portland cement
- Quick-setting Portland cement
- Low-heat Portland cement
- Rapid-hardening Portland cement
Answer
The correct answer is: C) Low-heat Portland cement
Explanation
Low-temperature Portland cement is perfect for large concrete parts where excessive heat buildup can cause cracking since it is specially engineered to limit heat output during hydration.
