Preface:

This is the fifth edition of CSA A3000, Cementitious materials compendium. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2013, 2008, 2003, and 1998.
Significant changes from the previous edition include the following:
a) Ground glass pozzolans have been introduced as new supplementary cementitious materials.
b) Addition of a new Annex A, Evaluation guidelines for the adequacy of alternative sampling and testing frequencies, to A3004-A1, Standard practice for sampling, testing, and inspection, to provide guidance to manufacturers for the evaluation of the adequacy of an alternate testing frequency using accepted statistical practices.
c) New requirements have been added for reporting chloride contents of cementitious materials.
d) The requirement for total organic carbon testing for limestone has been removed.
e) There have been revisions to A3004-E1, Standard practice for the evaluation of alternative supplementary cementitious materials (ASCMs) for use in concrete as SCMs.
f) Based on the limited data available at the time of publishing and in an effort to provide an additional measure of protection when portland-limestone cement was to be used in combination with a SCM in sulphate environment, the 2013 edition of CSA A3004-C8 was originally separated into the original test, identified as Procedure A, and a new low temperature test, identified as Procedure B. Subsequent data has found the results of Procedure B not to relate to sulphate resistance in concrete, and that meeting the CSA A3004-C8 Procedure A expansion limits in combination with the requirements in Table 5 was sufficient to show good sulphate resistance in concrete. Therefore, Procedure B was withdrawn in Update 5 of the 2013 edition.
g) Other changes have been made to harmonize with various ASTM and ACI publications, including change of terminology from supplementary cementing materials to supplementary cementitious materials.

CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of the Cement Association of Canada.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

A3001-18 – Cementitious materials for use in concrete

Scope:

1.1
This Standard addresses the following aspects of cementitious materials:
a) their definitions;
b) their chemical, physical, and uniformity requirements;
c) the tests required;
d) the procedures for inspection and sampling; and
e) the units of measurement, packaging, marking, and storage.

1.2
The cementitious materials for use in concrete are classified as follows in this Standard:
a) portland cement;
b) blended hydraulic cement;
c) portland-limestone cement;
d) supplementary cementitious materials; and
e) blended supplementary cementitious materials.

1.3
In these Standards, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standards; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standards. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.4
The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of these Standards. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.

A3002-18 – Masonry and mortar cement

Scope:

1.1
This Standard specifies the requirements for masonry and mortar cement for use in masonry mortar.

1.2
In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

A3003-18 – Chemical test methods for cementitious materials for use in concrete and masonry

Scope:

1.1 General
Test methods in this Standard and the “D series” test methods of CSA A3004 address the chemical analysis of hydraulic cement and supplementary cementitious materials.
Note: For frequencies of chemical testing, see Table 1 of CSA A3004-A1.

1.2
In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

A3004-18 – Test methods and standard practices for cementitious materials for use in concrete and masonry

Scope:

1.1
This Standard specifies the requirements of test methods and standard practices for hydraulic cements, supplementary cementitious materials, and blended supplementary cementitious materials.

1.2
This Standard is divided into test methods and standard practices, numbered as follows:
a) A1 to A6, representing dry tests;
b) B1 to B7, representing paste tests;
c) C1 to C9, representing mortar tests;
d) D1, representing a test on limestone; and

1.3
Each test method or standard practice contains a scope, reference publications, summary of test, equipment and materials, and test procedure.

1.4
In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.
