  2 Appendix A: Concrete Specification [Durham College Case Study]
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: March 2004
Author(s): Yolles Partnership
    The specification includes specific requirements applicable to the use of High Volume Supplementary Cementing Materials (HVSCM) concrete. The specification was revised by Yolles as an alternate set of concrete specifications as reference for use on future projects where EcoSmart concrete may be specified....[more]

  5 Concrete in a Sustainable World
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: November 23, 2006
Presenter(s): Read Jones Christoffersen Ltd , Diana Klein, P.Eng.
    Part of the Concrete Technologies for Sustainable Buildings workshop, Klein’s presentation provides another user perspective on concrete made with supplementary cementing materials (SCM) and large scale building projects. This presentation discusses issues, such as early strength gain and the use of accelerators. It also discusses more sustainabl...[more]

    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: May 6, 2004
Presenter(s): Lloyd Keller
    This presentation examines the use of EcoSmart concrete in terms of mix design and performance, quality control, placing, finishing, protection, curing, and form removal at the York University Computer Science Building....[more]
  7 Fly Ash Concrete Trials, Government of Canada Building, Yellowknife NT
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: March 31, 2004
Author(s): EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd.
    In the Spring of 2004, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) will be constructing a new low-rise office building in Yellowknife, NT. EBA Engineering Consultants (EBA) was retained to review the concrete specifications for the project and to complete the laboratory trials to assist in confirming the feasibility of using fly ash to repl...[more]

  8 Global Ecology Center for the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Stanford University: The Curing and Moisture Emissions of Conventional vs EcoSmart Slabs
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: March 2004
Author(s): Scott Shell, Brad Jacobson, Dushyant Manmohan
    This report examines how an EcoSmart concrete slab-on-grade is affected by different curing practices and how its moisture emissions compare with that of a conventional concrete mix design. A controlled test case with various curing regimens was possible within the confines of a relatively small building project.

The primary findings indicate...[more]

  9 GVRD Fly Ash Report: BC Gas Operations Centre - Case Study
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: 2000
Author(s): Jonathon Rider, Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership
    This report describes the use of fly ash concrete in an office building: the BC Gas Operations Centre in Surrey, BC. A broad range of environmental goals were identified early in the design development phase, including the goal of using high volume fly ash (40%), thus embedding the project's green goals into the project specifications in time for t...[more]

  10 Heavily Reinforced Shearwalls and Mass Foundations Built With Green Concrete
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: August 2002
Author(s): P. K. Mehta, Dushyant Manmohan
    The seismic retrofit of Barker Hall, a six-story, 40-year-old concrete building on the University of California Campus in Berkeley, required the construction of a concrete belt foundation, with bonded post-tensioned (PT) tendons at the top and bottom. The belt foundation supports the new exterior shearwalls and collector beams that strengthen the s...[more]
