About 95% of the cement produced in the United States is portland cement and its manufacture requires about 2% of the energy consumed annually in the nation's industrial processes. The production of blended cements containing substantial amounts of fly ash or blast furnace slag and their substitution for portland cement appears attractive from the standpoint of energy conservation. While production and utilization of blended cements in other industrialized countries is extensive, blended cements account for less than 1% of the total cement production in the U.S. The reasons for the small U.S. production of blended cements are discussed in the contexts of standards revision and the need for the development of additional data as a basis for this revision.
