  1 [Building with] EcoSmart Concrete
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: November 28, 2008
Author(s): Denis Beaupre , Unibeton
    At Big 5 in Dubai, UAE, Beaupre discussed the use of FA concrete from the viewpoint of a concrete producer, who is interested in strength, durability, service, cost and other properties: heat of hydration and pumpability. He further discussed Unibeton's reasons for choosing fly ash. Beaupre used 3 Unibeton projects in the Emirates as examples....[more]

  2 Advancements in Concrete Technology
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: June 1999
Author(s): P. K. Mehta
    In terms of advancements in concrete technology, the driving forces have been durability and speed of construction. However, the environmental impact of construction materials is becoming an increasingly important driver. In this paper, Mehta evaluates concrete technologies, using the criteria of construction speed, durability, and environmental im...[more]

  3 Low Heat and Eco-Friendly Fly Ash Concretes
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: June 9, 2008
Author(s): David Cooney, Unibeton
    This report tested a number of fresh and hardened properties of fly ash concretes including: bleeding, compressive strength, finishability, heat of hydration, penetration of chloride ions, plastic properties, pumpability, setting time, shrinkage, slump and slump retention, stripping strength, and water reduction. Results demonstrate that fly ash...[more]

  5 The Potential Use of Natural Pozzolans in British Columbia as Supplementary Cementing Materials
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: April 2003
Author(s): Robert Gray, Ph.D., P.Eng., James Atwater, P.Eng., W. Dunbar, Ph.D., P.Eng., CMP Technologies Ltd.
    Based on a review of existing information, the team examined the technical, environmental, and economic benefits and costs of using naturally pozzolanic materials from provincial deposits as compared with those associated with the use of fly ash from coal-fired thermal electrical power plants as a supplementary cementing material in British Columbi...[more]

  6 Use of Concrete, Cement and SCMs in the UAE from 2005 to 2007
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: March 5, 2008
Author(s): Elias Saqan, PhD, American University in Dubai
    The American University in Dubai (AUD) was commissioned by EcoSmart to complete a survey on concrete, cement and SCM usage and production in the United Arab Emirates to gain a better understanding of the industry and practices current being employed. The survey found that in 2007 concrete production in the UAE was between 31 – 35 million cubic me...[more]
