Title: Changes in Portland cement properties and their effect on concrete
Subtitle: 

Ref Code: IP3/86
Authors: 

Abstract1: Discusses how historical changes in OPC have resulted in significant increases in strength and Codes of Practice have increased permissable stresses in line with these enabling design for higher strengths at earlier stages. This could lead to less cement being used in design mixes. Advises that specifications need to make allowances for the changes to avoid any adverse effects on durability.
