  1 Development of HVFA Concrete for Paving Roads in Alberta: Scaling Tests
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: April 13, 2005
Author(s): Phil Seabrook, P.Eng., Michel de Spot, P.Eng., Levelton Consultants Ltd, EcoSmart Foundation
    Given that potentially large volumes of concrete can be used in pavements (PCC), the goal of this study was to determine the maximum replacement of cement with fly ash (FA) that could be achieved and still provide scaling resistance. This case study focused on the Henday Drive Project in Edmonton, Alberta and used Type F FA. The study also included...[more]

  2 Dubai Central Laboratory Test Series : an EcoSmart sponsored series
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: April 21, 2008
Author(s): David Barrie, EIT, EcoSmart Foundation
    As part of the Sustainable Building and Concrete Seminar during the 2008 Batimat Tradeshow in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Barrie presented the results of the test series by Dubai Municipal Labs on concrete samples containing various amounts of FA. Further tests were also done by SIMCO, a Canadian company, in parallel. Barrie described the mix designs and th...[more]

  3 EcoSmart AP2K (Action Plan 2000) 2007 Assessment Report
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: October 2007
Author(s): EcoSmart Foundation
    The EcoSmart AP2K (Action Plan 2000) 2007 Assessment Report provides the results of a qualitative survey on SCM use in Canada conducted during the spring of 2007 through the use of an online survey and a series of consultative meetings with key industry and government stakeholders in nine cities across Canada. The study provides a comprehensive pi...[more]

  4 Interim report on Fly Ash concretes for EcoSmart
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: October 24, 2007
Author(s): David Cooney, Unibeton
    At the October 2007 EcoSmart Concrete Seminar in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, UAE, Cooney presented the results of the first phase of tests on concrete samples containing various amounts of FA. Samples were obtained from companies in the UAE. Cooney described the mix designs and tested their mechanical properties. This included slump, setting time, heat...[more]

  6 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]

  7 Properties of Fly Ash Concrete Mixtures Made with Materials from the United Arab Emirates
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: June 9, 2008
Author(s): Alain Bilodeau, Nabil Bouzoubaa, R. Chevrier, Pierre-Claver Nkinamubanzi, CANMET Energy Technology Centre, Natural Resources Canada
    A total of four concrete mixtures were made. These included one control concrete without fly ash, and three mixtures incorporating different percentages of fly ash. In addition to the standard compressive strength determination under normal moist-curing conditions, the effect of curing and ambient temperature on the strength and some durability c...[more]
