 Finally…an
interactive distance learning program that explores the use of supplementary
cementing materials (SCMs) and their impact on the durability, workability,
economy, and sustainability of concrete.
This self-contained CD, complete with narration, provides a comprehensive
course on the most common SCMs used in concrete construction: fly
ash, slag, silica fume, and natural pozzolans. Topics
include the production process of each SCM and its effects on fresh
and hardened concrete properties.
First in a series developed by concrete durability expert Michael
Thomas, professor of civil engineering at the University of New
Brunswick, and Michelle L. Wilson, concrete engineer with the Portland
Cement Association’s Education and Training department.
Discover the Benefits of SCMs
The industry standard in this progressive field, Supplementary
Cementing Materials for Use in Concrete is an excellent learning
or reference tool for cement manufacturers, ready-mix concrete producers,
concrete contractors, consultants, architects, specifiers, and other
professionals dealing with the use of concrete as a building material.
The CD covers:
- The four main types of supplementary cementing materials used
in concrete construction: fly ash, slag, silica fume, and
natural pozzolans
- The production processes of the industrial byproducts used
in concrete: fly ash, slag, and silica fume
- The primary effects each SCM has on fresh and hardened concrete
properties
- Applicable ACI, ASTM, and CSA standards and specifications
- Problem-solving examples and references
