Concrete Fundamentals

Although this video was originally released in 1998 and the specification and cement type references are American, the fundamental principles are the same.

The cement type references (ASTM) in this video and their Canadian (CSA) counterparts are as follows.

ASTM                                                     CSA

Type I                                                      Type GU - General Use Cement

Type II                                                     Type MS or Type MH - Moderate Sulphate Resistant or Moderate Heat of Hydration Cement

Type III                                                    Type HE  - High Early Strength Cement

Type IV                                                    Type LH - Low Heat of Hydration Cement

Type V                                                     Type HS - High Sulphate Resistant Cement

Please consult CSA A23.1/23.2, CSA A3000, ASTM Section 4 Volumes 04.01 and 04.02 as well as ACI Manuals of Concrete Practice for differences between Canadian and U.S. Standards.
