• Limestone powder can be blended and interground with Portland cement or it can be added as an aggregate to the concrete mix • Limestone blended cements (Type IL) are classified through ASTM C595. ASTM C595 was recently modified to allow for 15% of cement clinker to be replaced with ground limestone by mass

Normal aggregates used in concrete have absorption levels in the range of 0.2% to 4% for coarse aggregate and 0.2 to 2% for fine aggregate . However, some limestone aggregates have absorption levels above these values .
