Describe Type II Portand cement.

What will be an ideal response?


Type II cement is used when protection against moderate sulfate attack, found in some soils and groundwater, is required. It generates less heat by hydrating at a slower rate than Type I. This makes Type II useful in structures that have larger masses of concrete, such as abutments, piers, and large retaining walls.
