This webinar will summarize the lessons and experiences of practitioners using Portland-Limestone Cement (PLC). Presenters will discuss PLC performance, specifications, and the sustainable benefits of PLC in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Presentations will feature field projects in Utah, Colorado, and Canada that explore the applications and performance of PLC. In addition, the fresh, hardened, and durability properties of PLC will be discussed.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committees Properties of Concrete (AFN20), Durability of Concrete (AFN30), and Concrete Materials and Placement Techniques (AFN40).
