  1 Action Plan 2000 (AP2K): Background to the Federal Program for Climate Change Reduction
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: March 2004
Presenter(s): Roy Sage
    There is a greenhouse effect – without it there would be no life on earth as we know it! Today we face two important questions: Is the greenhouse effect, and hence our climate, changing in an unprecedented way? And is human activity responsible? Increasingly, the vast majority of informed opinion says “Yes” to both questions.

It is clear that...[more]

  5 Concrete Containing High Volumes of Supplementary Cementing Materials: Special Considerations
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: March 2004
Presenter(s): M.D.A. Thomas
    A number of industrial by-products, such as fly ash and ground granulated blastfurnace slag, have been used as supplementary cementing materials (SCM) in concrete for more that 50 years. However, in recent years economic and environmental considerations have increased the incentive to use these materials at higher replacement levels than those trad...[more]
