Hi everyone, Just wondering what happens if we mix both types of cement on the same mix? do they interact negatively between them? or will it become like a mid strength HE? Thanks all. M.

Hi all, well, it is an aggresive environment since it is on the shore line of Lake Ontario. The metal deck will only used as stay in place form, so no composite action, but it is HDG because of corrosion, don't want the rust to stain the concrete long term. Actually the concrete rebar is GFRP...
