AASHTO M 85 – Standard Specification for Portland Cement (ASTM Designation: C150/C150M-21)

This specification covers ten types of portland cement as follows: 

• Type I-For use when the special properties specified for any other type are not required;
• Type IA-Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type I, where air entrainment is desired;
• Type II-For general use, more especially when moderate sulfate resistance is desired;
• Type IIA-Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II, where air entrainment is desired;
• Type II(MH)-For general use, more especially when moderate heat of hydration and moderate sulfate resistance are desired.
• Type II(MH)A-Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II(MH), where air entrainment is desired.
• Type III-For use when high early strength is desired;
• Type IIIA-Air-entraining cement for the same use as Type III, where air entrainment is desired;
• Type IV-For use when low heat of hydration is desired; and
• Type V-For use when high sulfate resistance is desired.
