What is portland-limestone cement? Portland-limestone cement (PLC) is a type of blended cement specified under ASTM C595 (or AASHTO M 240). In the US and Canada, PLCs are made with portland cement and between 5% and 15% fine limestone.

The Sustainability Benefits PLC Provides. When it comes to CO 2, the cement industry is a significant producer.This is due to the process of making cement, which entails firing clay, limestone and other materials in a kiln, releasing CO 2 emissions. As the material is mass-produced at enormous scale, and used to create the world's …

The maximum size of coarse aggregate is typically 19 mm or 25 mm (3/4 in. or 1 in.). An intermediate-sized aggregate, around 9.5 mm (3/8 in.), is sometimes added to improve the overall aggregate gradation. Since aggregates make up about 60% to 75% of the total volume of concrete, their selection is important.

Most limestone is made into crushed stone that is used in road base, railroad ballast, foundation stone, drainfields, concrete aggregate, and other construction uses. It is fired in a kiln with crushed shale to make cement. Some varieties of limestone perform well in these uses because they are strong, dense rocks with few pore spaces.
