- Abstract
- The subcommittees of ASTM Committee C1 on Cement that have responsibility for specifications for portland cement, blended cement, and masonry cement requested that Subcommittee C01.27 on Strength collect statistical data on the compressive strength of cements currently produced in the United States that met the 1989 requirements of ASTM Specification for Portland Cement (C 150), ASTM Specification for Blended Hydraulic Cements (C 595), or ASTM Specification for Masonry Cement (C 91). The last survey of this type was conducted in 1964 by Subcommittee C01.27. Based on this request, Subcommittee C01.27 surveyed 128 producers in the United States and received 98 replies. the survey forms were mailed to the producers in July 1990, and the results from the survey were reported to Subcommittee C01.27 at its December 1990 meeting. The purpose of this paper is to describe the survey and to present the results.
