CMRC study of PLC project concrete comparisons
Portland-limestone cement introduced mid-project
Providing direct comparisons (OPC vs. PLC) in field concrete
Additional sustainability contributions later quantified
Used in a flatwork mix with 50/30/20 proportions
Resulted in several enhanced performance attributes, including
Strength at all ages but especially very early ages
Shortened initial time of set by about 1 hour
Improved RCP numbers (lower concrete permeability)
Improved finishing characteristics
Basic performance trends w/ PLC similar to traditional mixtures

So, what is PLC, and whats different about it?
