  6 Early Strength Properties: HVFA Concrete Mixes for High-Rise Construction: Preliminary Report
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: November 2, 2000
Author(s): Levelton Consultants Ltd
    Levelton conducted a laboratory trial mix program for the Bayview high rise feasibility study to evaluate the potential disadvantages in using high volume fly ash concrete in high rise construction. The main concerns were delayed stripping time and the need for additional shoring.

This report presents the results of that program. The intent...[more]
