This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the possibility of CEM IV 42,5N producing by increasing the specific cement surface from 3180 to 3850 cm2 /g. In this paper, fly ash is used as a cement admixture because fly ash possesses both hydraulic and pozzolanic properties. If one part of the clinker, as a major cement admixture, is replaced with a certain amount of fly ash, the preexisting deposit of fly ash is reduced, which can eventually give cheaper cement. Also, using more fly ash would reduce the emmision of CO2 into the atmosphere. Of course, in order to produce such pozzolanic cement, the requirements of EN 197-1 must be satisfied. Test results show that by increasing the specific surface of cement, the compressive strength of cement which meets the requirements for 42.5N class cement is also increased.
