  2 Development of Ternary Blends for High-Performance Concrete
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: July 2002
Author(s): Nabil Bouzoubaa, Alain Bilodeau, Benoit Fournier, V. Sivasundaram, D.M. Golden, CANMET Energy Technology Centre, Natural Resources Canada
    The purpose of this study was to develop ternary blends with optimum amounts of fly ash and silica fume to be used in high-performance concrete. Two series of air-entrained concrete mixtures were investigated in the study: series 1 included concretes with a total cementitious materials content (CM) of 350 kg/m 3 , and a water-to-cementitious materi...[more]

  5 Mechanical Properties and Durability of Concrete Made With High Volume Fly Ash Blended Cements Using a Coarse Fly Ash
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: October 2001
Author(s): M.H. Zhang, Nabil Bouzoubaa, V.M. Malhotra, CANMET Energy Technology Centre, Natural Resources Canada
    This paper presents a study on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete made with a high-volume fly ash blended cement using a coarse fly ash that does not meet the fineness requirement of ASTM C 618. The results were compared with those of the HVFA concrete in which unground fly ash had been added at the concrete mixer. The properties...[more]

  6 Mechanical Properties and Durability of Concrete made with HVFA Blended Cement Produced in a Cement Plant
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: October 2001
Author(s): Nabil Bouzoubaa, Benoit Fournier, V.M. Malhotra, D.M. Golden
    This paper presents the results of a study on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete made with high volume fly ash (HVFA) blended cement produced in a cement plant. The test results obtained were compared with those of a control concrete made with a commercially available ASTM Type I cement; the control concrete had a 28-day compressi...[more]

  7 Publicity Report and Technical Bulletin for Tercem 3000
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: 2003
Author(s): Lafarge Canada Inc.
    Appendix A to the Mountain Equipment Co-op case study report is a brochure describing Lafarge's Tercem 3000 cement. This cement was used in the MEC, Montreal building. The benefits of Tercem 3000 include higher ultimate strength, reduction in permeability, improved rhealogy, and better finishability. The cement is produced by intergrinding Portland...[more]

  8 The Mountain Equipment Co-Op Store Case Study
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: March 2004
Presenter(s): Vouli Mamfredis
    The Mountain Equipment Co-op Montreal store is the first retail building in Quebec to comply with Natural Resources Canada's C2000 Green Building Standard. The project team used an integrated design process in designing the 4,180 m2 building to meet strict environmental objectives. The building structure is concrete and steel. The thermal mass prop...[more]
