  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]

  3 Courtyard on Bear and Cave Avenue Housing - Banff, AB Case Study: Using EcoSmart Concrete in Cold Weather Construction
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: March 31, 2004
Author(s): Kristy Neish, E.I.T., Read Jones Christoffersen Ltd
    This study reports the challenges encountered using EcoSmart concrete during cold weather construction in Banff, Alberta, and provides possible solutions to these challenges. Although construction was initially planned to begin in summer, an increased design period and delays in the permitting process pushed the construction schedules for both proj...[more]

  4 EcoSmart Concrete High Rise Study [Stage 1]
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: October 24, 2003
Author(s): Yolles Partnership
    This report is part of the High Rise Early Design study commissioned by EcoSmart to produce the required knowledge for understanding the relationship between the selection of high-rise condominium building structural systems and their environmental performance, cost, and constructability issues. Stage 1 of the study includes the provision of schema...[more]

  5 Effect of Low Curing Temperatures on Selected Properties of Concrete Incorporating Large Volumes of Fly Ash
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: November 2001
Author(s): R. Chevrier, Alain Bilodeau
    The main objective of this project was to observe the effect of low-curing temperatures on the setting time, strength development and resistance to chloride-ion penetration of concrete incorporating large volumes of fly ash. The internal temperature of various size specimens was also monitored.

The study found that the properties of both the...[more]

  6 Environmental Building News: Open Forum Discussions
    Document Type: Website
    Publication Date: December 8, 1998
    Proceedings of a panel discussion from a 1998 forum entitled "Concrete, Flyash and the Environment." The discussion touched on a wide range of topics related to fly ash, including strength gain, appearance, cost, availability, temperature, scheduling, building codes, specifications, etc....[more]

  7 Evaluation of GVRD Municipal Incinerator Ash as a Supplementary Cementing Material in Concrete
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: March 15, 2004
    AMEC Earth and Environment was contracted to determine the feasibility of GVRD municipal incinerator ash (MIA) as an SCM. The study involves three phases. The first phase provides an independent critical review of publicly available information; the next two phases involve a laboratory program designed to determine the pozzolanic potential of MIA f...[more]

  8 Experiences with EcoSmart: Material Engineer's Perspective
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: October 21, 2002
Author(s): Phil Seabrook, P.Eng.
    This presentation introduces EcoSmart concrete in terms of technical issues like strength development, effects of admixtures, scaling, finishing, and economics. It uses case study projects to illustrate these technical issues, including the Little Mountain Reservoir, skytrain stations, and the Artist Live/Work Studios (Waterfall Building)....[more]

  9 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]

  10 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]
