701.01 General . The following requirements shall be applicable to hydraulic cement:
Only hydraulic cements conforming to Section 701 shall be used. Hydraulic cements shall not be listed or designated as meeting more than one AASHTO or Department type. Different brands of hydraulic cement, or the same brand of hydraulic cement from different mills, shall not be mixed or used alternately in any one class of construction or structure, without written permission from the Engineer; except that this requirement will not be applicable to hydraulic cement treatment of design soils, or bases. The Contractor shall provide suitable means for storing and protecting the hydraulic cement against dampness. Hydraulic cement that has, for any reason, become partially set or that contains lumps of caked hydraulic cement will be rejected. Hydraulic cement salvaged from discarded or used bags shall not be used. The temperature of bulk hydraulic cement shall not be great er than 165°F at the time of incorporation in the mix. Acceptance of hydr aulic cement will be based on the certification program as described in the Department’s Materials Division Inspection, Testing, and Certification Manual and job control sampling and testing as established by Department SOP. Retests of hydraulic cement may be made for soundness and expansion within 28 days of test failure and, if the hydraulic cement passes, it may be accepted. Hydraulic cement shall not be rejected due to failure to meet the fineness requirements if, upon retests after drying at 212°F for one hour, it meets such requirements.

701.02 1; this cement is given the designation “Type III(MS).”
Class C fly ash shall not be used as a replacem ent for cement in any of the sulfate exposure conditions listed above.
701.02.2 2--Hydraulic Cement for Soil Stabilization Exposed to Soluble Sulfate
Conditions or Seawater . When hydraulic cement for use in soil stabilization is exposed to moderate or severe soluble sulfate c onditions, or to seawater, cement types and replacement of cement by Class F fly ash or GGBFS shall meet th e requirements of Subsection 701.02.2.1. Silica fume shall not be used to bring the cementitious materials into compliance with the requirements of Table 1.
701.03 Masonry Cement . Masonry cement shall conform to ASTM C 91 and shall only
be used in masonry applications. 701.04--Blended Hydraulic Cement .
