  3 High Volume Fly Ash Concrete Usage for Skytrain Stations
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: April 2000
Author(s): Robert Schmidt, P.Eng., Paul Fast, P.Eng., Fast + Epp
    This study investigates the implications of using high volume fly ash (hvfa) concrete in skytrain station components, particularly in Brentwood and Gilmour stations in Burnaby. The study provides a strategy to optimize the percentage of fly ash in the concrete without affecting the construction schedule, recommends using a minimum of 50% fly ash in...[more]

  4 High Volume Fly Ash Concrete: Pre-Cast RPT 2000 Platform Beams
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: November 2002
Author(s): Brian Ball
    As part of the Rapid Transit Project 2000 Stations, 4 selected skytrain stations requiring 34 precast, prestressed concrete platform beams were slated for high volume fly ash concrete as part of the demonstration project. Precast, prestressed platform beams were cast with a high performance concrete utilizing a supplementary cementing material, 30%...[more]
