The purpose of this experimental research based on physical and mechanical tests is to analyze three brands of Portland GU cement widely marketed in the construction industry of Honduran in civil works in order to have scientific evidence documenting their behavior in hydraulic concrete. With the results obtained, the compressive strength at 7 and 28 days [f'c] according to ASTM C39 and the slump according to ASTM C143 were compared through current standards. The results obtained are as followed: Wan Peng with a compressive strength of 5907.51 psi and its slump of 6.25 in, Bijao with 4282.01 psi and 2.09 in and finally Argos with 4024.82 psi and 4.08 in respectively, Wan Peng cement is in the national market since 2018 and shows results of mechanical parameters in hydraulic concrete superior to those obtained with other brands that are older in the country. It is recommended to perform a physicochemical analysis of Wan Peng cement as well as an iterative analysis that provides a different water-cement ratio, also different applications could be performed with this cement for example about soil stabilization and manufacture of blocks in the latter to see the thermal behavior when used in the construction of houses and buildings.
