There are various types of cement used in concrete construction. Each type of cement has its own properties, uses, and advantages based on composition materials used during its manufacture. I have tried to compile it in a short format so enjoy...

Sir,
Your classification is appreciable.

Actually, economical and qualitative construction work is most important and as you know market rate of cement are different for type of cement(opc, ppc, psc). Hence without reducing quality, economical construction may be achieved by proper selection of materials(like cement).

Foundation work - OPC if sulfates are present then use SRC
Superstructure work- All RCC works use OPC with flyash/GGBS etc as per your MIX DESIGN.
Superstructure work- Masonry, plaster, waterproofing use PPC For tiling in dado it's preferable to use tile adhesives if the budget does not permit then you can use PPC.
For Roads, pavements - Use Rapid Hardening cement if you need to use it immediately else you can go for OPC.
For STP, septic tanks or any effluent treatment areas - Use SRC
For Italian marble or any marble flooring works - Use White cement not OPC or PPC
For Granite/Marble in dado - use tile adhesives
