HIGH SUPPLEMENTAL CEMENTITIOUS
MATERIAL (SCM) GROUT
PHASE 2 AND 3 RESEARCH
Reducing the
amount of Portland
cement used in
construction
has important
environmental
benefits in terms of both the energy used to
manufacture the cement as well as in lower
CO2 emissions. To improve the sustainability
of concrete masonry construction, research
was conducted to determine the viability of
replacing up to 80% of the Portland cement in
masonry grout with recycled materials. Various
combinations of Class F fly ash and ground
granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) were
used to replace up to 80% by weight of the
Portland cement in masonry grout. The resulting
grouts were compression tested in accordance
with ASTM C1019 at time intervals from 7 to 180
days.
The concrete masonry association of California and Nevada (CMACN),
a non profit professional organization established in October 1977, committed
to strengthening the masonry industry in California and Nevada.
