Technical Resources

From design to construction to use, CMHA has all the resources you need to ensure success on your next project. See tabs below to toggle between masonry resources and hardscape resources.

While most of our technical resources are available for free download, hard copy versions of many of our resources can be purchased through our CMHA Bookstore.

Understanding the Shift to Portland Limestone Cement

The cement industry is rapidly transitioning from Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) to help reduce its carbon footprint and move toward carbon neutrality by 2050. PLC offers a smaller global warming potential while maintaining performance across concrete applications—including dry-cast products. As this change takes hold across North America, producers are encouraged to understand how PLC may affect product performance and quality.
