Abstract:
The Charles Pankow Foundation provided major funding to the American Society of Concrete Contractors Education, Research, and Development Foundation for development of “Assessing the Impact of “Green” Concrete Mixtures on Building Construction." The term “green” concrete in this context refers especially to concrete containing supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that replace relatively large amounts of portland cement. In preparation for writing the Guide, a laboratory and field testing program was conducted to provide data that would supplement and illustrate construction challenges of green concrete that had been experienced on specific projects. This report summarizes the testing program results and includes all of the raw data that comprise the results.
