  1 Addressing Regional Sustainability: A Case Study of Little Mountain Reservoir Reconstruction (LMRR) Using Concrete Containing Large Volumes of Fly Ash
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: October 2004
Author(s): A.P. Sukumar, Phil Seabrook, P.Eng., John Sherstobitoff, Frank Huber
    The Little Mountain Reservoir located in Queen Elizabeth Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada was originally constructed as an open basin in 1910 and a roof structure was added in the mid 1960s. Because of seismic and structural deficiencies of the structure, it was decided to demolish the reservoir and construct a new one on the same site wi...[more]

  3 De-Icing Salt Scaling Resistance of Concrete Incorporating Supplementary Cementing Materials
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: 2004
Author(s): Alain Bilodeau, Nabil Bouzoubaa, Benoit Fournier, CANMET Energy Technology Centre, Natural Resources Canada
    The primary objectives of this study were to compare the field and laboratory de-icing salt scaling resistance of concretes incorporating different proportions of fly ash, slag and ternary blends (with silica fume), and to determine the effect of various key parameters such as concrete mixture design, finishing operations, and curing on the de-icin...[more]

  4 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]

  5 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]

  6 High Volume Fly Ash Concrete Usage for Skytrain Stations
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: April 2000
Author(s): Robert Schmidt, P.Eng., Paul Fast, P.Eng., Fast + Epp
    This study investigates the implications of using high volume fly ash (hvfa) concrete in skytrain station components, particularly in Brentwood and Gilmour stations in Burnaby. The study provides a strategy to optimize the percentage of fly ash in the concrete without affecting the construction schedule, recommends using a minimum of 50% fly ash in...[more]

  7 High Volume Fly Ash Concrete: Pre-Cast RPT 2000 Platform Beams
    Document Type: Case Study Report
    Publication Date: November 2002
Author(s): Brian Ball
    As part of the Rapid Transit Project 2000 Stations, 4 selected skytrain stations requiring 34 precast, prestressed concrete platform beams were slated for high volume fly ash concrete as part of the demonstration project. Precast, prestressed platform beams were cast with a high performance concrete utilizing a supplementary cementing material, 30%...[more]
