FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( Part 2 ) ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards
after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Civil Engineering Division Council.

Portland-pozzolana cement can be produced either by grinding together Portland cement clinker
and pozzolana with addition of gypsum or calcium sulphate, or by intimately and uniformly blending
Portland cement and fine pozzolana. While grinding of the two materials together presents no difficulty,
the mixing of dry powders uniformly is extremely difficult. The blending method should, therefore, be
resorted to only when the grinding method is impossible or proves uneconomical in a particular case.
Where blending method is adopted, every care should be taken to see that the blending is as intimate
as possible. Generally, if the blending is not uniform, it is reflected in the performance tests. The
Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this specification is of the opinion that the
blending method should be confined to factories and such other works where intimate and uniform
blending is feasible with the employment of requisite machinery so as to ensure uniformity of produc-
tion and guaranteed performance.

Portland-pozzolana cement produces less heat of hydration and offers greater resistance to the
attack of aggressive waters than normal Portland cement. Moreover, it reduces the leaching of
calcium hydroxide liberated during the setting and hydration of cement. It is particularly useful in
marine and hydraulic construction and other mass concrete structures. Portland-pozzolana cement can
generally be used wherever 33 grade ordinary Portland cement is usable under normal conditions.
However, it should be appreciated that all pozzolanas need not necessarily contribute to strength at
early ages. In view of this fact, this present specification has been prepared to enable manufacturers to
produce Portland-pozzolana cement equivalent to 33 grade ordinary Portland cement on the basis of
3, 7 and 28-days compressive strength.

For construction of structures using rapid construction methocls like slipform construction, Portland-
pozzolana cemcnl shall bc used with caution since 4 to 6 h strength of concrete is significant in such
construction.
This standard was first published in 1962 and subsequently revised in 1967 and 1976. In this revision
the standard has been split into two parts based on the pozzolana used in the manufacture of such
cements in view of the special needs of some hydraulic structures which require pozzolana cement
manufactured only with fly ash pozzolana and for easy identification of pozzolana used in the manu-
facture of Portland-pozzolana cement in the interest of consumers. Part 1 of this standard covers
pozzolana cement manufactured by using only fly ash pozzolana and Part 2 covers pozzolana cement
manufactured by using either calcined clay or a mixture of calcined clay and fly ash as pozzolana. In
this revision both chemical and physical requirements have been kept the same as was given in 1976
version of this standard as amended from time to time. Various requirements of Portland-pozzolana
cement given in 1976 version of this standard had been modified from time to time by issuing amend-
ments based on the experience gained with the use of the standard and the requirements of the users
and also keeping in view the raw materials and fuel available in the country for manufacture of cement
The important amendments include lowering the value of compressive strength in lime reactivity
test from 5 MPa to 4 MPa, incorporating a value of 3 day compressive strength as 16 MPa, modifying
the requirement of sulphuric anhydride ( SOs ) and insoluble residue, deleting the requirement of
pozzolanicity test, increasing the value of 28 days compressive atrenth from 31 MPa to 33 MPa, making
autoclave soundness test compulsory irrespcctivc of the magnesia content in cement, incorporating
a provision for retest in respect of autoclave soundness test after aeration of the cement, incorporting
a clause on false set of cement and permitting packaging of cement in 25 kg bag\. All thc\c an~encl-
ments have been taken care of in this revision.

Mass of cement packed in bags and the tolerance requirements for the masq of cement packed in bags
shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of the S/n~&cl CJ~‘B’~@/rts ~/id ,tlk~~.~r~.v ( ~~c~ngcd
C‘ot77777ot/i~i~s ) Rules. 1077 and B-I.2 ( see Annex B ). Any modification in thcsc rules in rcspcct of
tolerance on mass of cement would apply automatically to this standard.
