Types of cements and what the do?

Portland cement is a type of cement, not a brand name. Many cement manufacturers make Portland cement.
Type 1:
Normal Portland cement. Type 1 is general use cement.
Type 2
Is used for structures in water or soil containing moderate amounts of sulfate, or when heat build-up is a concern.
Type 3:
High early strength. Used when high strength are desired at very early periods.
Type 4:
Low heat Portland cement. Used where the amount and rate of heat generation must be kept to a minimum.
Type 5:
Sulfate resistant Portland cement. Used where the water or soil is high in alkali.
Types IA, IIA and IIIA are cements used to make air-entrained concrete. They have the same properties as types I, II, and III, except that they have small quantities of air-entrained materials combined with them.
OPC:

• Concrete structures
• Mortars
• Soil stabilization
• Grouting

RHC:

• Formwork to be removed quickly for reuse
• Frost action, road repairs, prefabricated concrete

LHC:
Large gravity dams
SRC:

• Marine structures of tidal variations
• basements
• foundations
• sewage treatment concrete pipes

Whit Portland cement:
Architectural purpose
Air entrainig Portland cement:

• Severe frost
• Effect of salt
• sidewalls and pavements for ice and snow removal

Oil Well Portland cement:
Used in deep oil wells because they can harden properly at high temperature.
