scope:

This guide covers both currently available and emerging alternative cements, and is intended to aid people interested in using alternative cements in a project. A brief summary of each of the alternative cement technologies is provided, as well as selected case studies and a guideline for use that addresses mixture design as well as construction and design properties. References made to portland cement and portland cement production are for comparison purposes only. An in-depth discussion of portland cement is not within the scope of this guide.
