Major Changes in the 2019 edition of CSA A23.1 & A23.2

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
DEPT. CIVIL ENGINEERING Concrete Ontario August 15, 2019
Background
• The new revision of CSA A23.1/A23.2: Concrete Materials and Methods of Test for Concrete was published in late June, 2019.
• The French version should be available in Sept. 2019.
• It references the recent revisions in CSA A3000-18 on Cementitious Materials
• It will likely then be referenced in the National and Ontario Building codes in 2020.
But first,now this
• The new CSA A3000-18 Cementitious Materials Standard
• The new item of possible interest
– Ground glass as an SCM (but it isn’t covered yet in A23.1-19)
– With increased recycling of container and plate glass, manufacturing of ground glass as a pozzolan is occurring in the USA and Canada.
A3000 2018:Ground Glass
Ground glass — a finely divided product that results from the processes of separating, cleaning, grinding, and milling manufactured glass products to produce a material with pozzolanic properties. Notes:
(1) Ground glass is classified as a type GH or GL supplementary cementing material based on alkali content.
(2) Manufactured glass includes:
a– Container Glass is post-consumer material obtained from municipal waste facilities (MRF’s) or deposit-based redemption recovery programs,
b– Plate Glass is material obtained from producers or recyclers of, glass products, primarily windows for automobiles or housing, and
c– E-Glass is post-industrial glass material obtained from producers of fiberglass reinforcements at the glass factory that typically has a total equivalent alkali content of ≤ 4.0%.
Issues with Ground Glass
• Works well as an SCM when finely ground.
• The main concern: Container and plate glass have high alkali contents (up to 13%) and can make alkali-silica reaction (ASR) worse, unless fly ash or slag is also added.
Likely not a problem in the GTA, but much of Canada has alkali-silica reactive aggregates
The A23.1/A23.2 Committee
• The 2019 standards were revised by a balanced volunteer committee of 38 voting and 31 associate members representing Producer, Raw Material Supplier, Service Professional, User, General, and Regulatory-Interest members,
chaired by Chris Rogers.
• I will chair the next edition (2024) with an executive committee of Bart Kanters, Phil Trunk, Mike Thomas, & Gordon Leaman.

Major Changes -1
• Requirements and guidance for qualification and acceptance, previously included in Clause 4 of A23.1, were reorganized into three new standard practices:
– A23.2-30A, Standard Practice for sampling, testing, and inspection of aggregate products for use in concrete for qualification and acceptance purposes;
– A23.2-24C, Standard Practice for sampling, testing, and inspection of concrete for qualification purposes; and
– A23.2-25C, Standard Practice for sampling, testing, and inspection of concrete for acceptance purposes.
The reason for this change was to remove contractual clauses out of the body of the standard
Major Changes 2
• Additional provisions have been added for mass concrete including the submission of a thermal control plan for controlling and monitoring temperature.
• New requirement for the slump of concrete for interior concrete floors, partly for reasons of health and safety.
• Updated Annex P on the potentially deleterious impact of sulphide minerals in concrete aggregate, including a new performance evaluation protocol, revised criteria on maximum sulphur content of aggregates, and three new test methods for the determination of the sulphide content of aggregate and for assessing the potential for deleterious oxidation of sulphide-bearing aggregates.
Major Changes 3
• New Annex T on mass concrete on the effect of materials on temperature rise, measures to control and monitor temperature, maximum temperature limits, and maximum temperature difference for concrete in mass placements, and best practices to protect and cure mass concrete.
• New Annex U to provide information for materials and methods of construction for the use of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with min. strengths of 120 and 150 MPa.
• New test method in CSA A23.2: A23.2-26C, Bulk electrical resistivity of concrete. This test provides an indication of resistance of concrete to the penetration of fluids and aggressive ions.

Only change to Table 2 was to clarify that concrete not exposed to freezing and thawing does not require air entrainment.
Recent Change(was already allowed in 2018 amendment to A23.1-14)
Portland-Limestone Cements (GUL) are now allowed in sulphate exposure together with SCMs or in blended cements the same as Portland Cements without additional testing or minimum limits on SCMs or w/cm.
(based on 8 years of research that also resulted in changes to CSA A3000)
Table 3: Tested HSLb, GUL-SCM (HSe) combinations now allowed in sulphate exposure
the same as GU-SCM combinations
So in all sulphate exposures, blended Portland-limestone cements must pass the same expansion limits used for evaluating Portland cement –SCM mixtures.

Where are Sulphate Exposures in Canada?
These include:
• Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba prairie soils (S-1)
• In gypsum-bearing shale layers near Niagara escarpment and along Lake Erie (S-3 to S-2)
• Along Toronto waterfront (typ. moderate S-3 exposure)
• Sewer pipes (although really a sulfuric acid problem)
• Sewage treatment plants and some industrial effluents
• Seawater is also considered S-3 “moderate” exposure

Deleterious Aggregate Sulphide Reactions
Prior to 2014, this issue was only mentioned in a note
Updated Annex P: Impact of sulphides in aggregate on concrete behaviour and global approach to determine
potential deleterious reactivity of sulphide-bearing aggregates
• In Trois Rivieres, Quebec there have been serious durability problems due to expansion and cracking of concrete foundations due to an unstable sulfide impurity called Pyrrhotite in a quarried aggregate.
• More recently, this same problem has occurred in Connecticut.
• CSA has added new test methods for evaluating aggregates to prevent future problems.
Annex P explains the severity of the pyrrhotiteproblem in recent years

Three new Tests in Annex PTest 1. Aggregate Sulfur Limits
Determination of sulphide sulphur content of concrete aggregates
1) If total sulfur content > 1%:
Reject the aggregate for use in concrete;
2) If 0.15% ≥ total sulfur content < 1%:
Additional testing is required;
3) If total sulfur content < 0.15%:
Accept the aggregate for use in all concrete.
Test 2: Oxygen Consumption Test
• Test method for detection of the oxidation potential of sulphide-bearing aggregates by an oxygen consumption test
• In the test, a compacted layer of aggregate material is exposed to oxygen (O2) in a sealed cell, and the O2 consumption is monitored with a probe. (S- consumes O2 to form sulphate, SO3)
• O2 consumption values greater than 4% shall trigger further testing though the accelerated mortar bar test
Test 3. Test method for detection of potential reactivity of sulfide-bearing aggregates by
accelerated expansion of mortar bars
• Mortar bar expansion of < 0.10% within 90 days.
• From expansion of concrete aggregates due to the oxidation of sulfide minerals.
• 90 days of storage at 80°C/80% RH, with two 3-h wetting cycles in a 6% sodium hypochlorite solution.
• Note: Sodium hypochlorite will oxidize the sulfides to sulfates.
Reminder: Option exists to use Optimized Combined Aggregate
Gradations
• This option was added in the 2014 edition.
• The purpose is to make better use of aggregate resources while potentially making better quality concrete by reducing the paste fraction.
• Lower cement paste fraction for a given w/cm means less shrinkage, lower permeability concrete.
• Also can reduce cementitious materials contents by up to 15%.
Option for Use of Combined Aggregate Gradations
Only allowed if a minimum of 3 individual aggregate materials are used.

Revisions to Section 4.4 on Quality Control
In the 2019 edition, a major re-write of 4.4 has moved the qualification and acceptance procedures into the new Standard Practices in A23.2.
4.4.1.3 Procedures for qualification and acceptance of concrete shall be carried out in accordance with CSA A23.2-24C and CSA A23.2-25C, respectively.
A23.2-A24C and 25C
Most of what is contained in the new 24C and 25C Standard Practices has been taken from Section 4.4 of A23.1-14
The purpose was to remove contractual requirements from the body of the standard
New Standard Practices
• Requirements and guidance for materials qualification and for quality assessment, previously included in Clause 4 of A23.1, were reorganized into new standard practices:
– A23.2-24C, Standard Practice for sampling, testing, and inspection of concrete for qualification purposes; and
– A23.2-25C, Standard Practice for sampling, testing, and inspection of concrete for acceptance purposes.
The reason for the change was to remove contractual clauses out of the body of the standard
Submittals (in 4.4)
• 4.4.1.2 Submittals shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with the requirements of Table 5 and CSA A23.2-24C.
• A23.2-24C Standard Practice for Sampling, Testing and Inspection of Concrete for Qualification Purposes.

6 Reporting• Unless otherwise agreed, test results shall be
provided to the owner, contractor, and concrete supplier within five working days of completion of the test. Both field and laboratory test reports shall include all information required by the applicable test methods of CSA A23.2.
• Note: Annex B of CSA A23.2 contains a sample report form for strength test results.
A23.2-25C(regarding strength test disputes)
7.1.1 Where there is more than one set of test results representing the same concrete sample available from multiple independent testing laboratories certified in accordance with the requirements of Clause 4.4.1.6 of CSA A23.1, all test results shall be considered by the owner unless there is a defined referee testing program in place.Notes:
1) The owner may implement a referee testing process to provide formalized means for challenge of concrete acceptance test results.

New 7.6.3.4 Thermal Control Plan Requirements
The contractor shall submit to the owner for approval a thermal control plan to demonstrate that the requirements for controlling and monitoring temperature will be achieved during the thermal control period, including the following information unless otherwise specified or approved by the owner:
• dimensions of mass placements;
• specified temperature limits;
• concrete mix design submittal;
• methodology used for thermal analysis and/or modelling;
• properties of the concrete;
• predicted adiabatic temperature rise of the concrete;
• concrete placing temperature considerations;
• calculated maximum concrete temperature;
• calculated maximum concrete temperature difference;
• ambient temperature and weather considerations;
• insulation and curing recommendations;
• temperature monitoring devices and locations;
• requirements to avoid thermal shock (24 h concrete surface temperature drop);
• criteria to terminate thermal control;
• recommendations to meet temperature limits;
• results from thermal analysis and/or modelling;
• possible corrective measures;
• relevant technical guidelines or references
Annex T (T4.3.4)re: Insulation & Insulated Forms
• Insulation should be implemented when necessary during construction to mitigate heat loss from the exterior surfaces to thereby reduce and control temperature differentials within the concrete.
• 20 mm thick plywood forms protect the concrete given their insulating capacity, but steel forms have negligible insulating capacity.
• Additional insulation and thermal protection might be required to protect concrete in cold weather to minimize rapid heat loss from concrete surfaces.
New Annex U on Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)
• This Annex was developed to provide guidance to suppliers, specifiers and users of UHPC technology.
• The Annex establishes boundaries on the properties of UHPC, how to characterize the material within given categories and how to batch, transport, place and cure the material.
• The Annex is intended to provide limits on what materials may be classified and how to use UHPC, without restricting innovation in the development of new uses or material formulations.
Annex U: UHPC
• Two Minimum Compressive Strength Categories: 120 and 150 MPa
• 75 x 150 mm cylinder strengths
• A minimum of 100 MPa compressive strength before demoulding
• May contain fibres
• Also, requirements for tensile strength and ductility

UHPC is different than HPC
• Maximizes particle packing of all cement, filler and aggregate materials.
• Max aggregate size is typically masonry sand. (but sometimes up to 8mm agg. Is used)
• Requires high-shear mixing and high superplasticizer dosages.
• Typically UHPC mixes start out looking very dry, but with continued mixing, it becomes a self-levelling fluid.
• Needs to be carefully controlled at all stages to get reproducible results.

Revisions to A23.2 Test Methods
• A number of existing tests were updated for form & style.
• There is also a new test method for Bulk Resistivity of concrete, A23.2-26C
– It is much faster and cheaper than the RCPT (A23.2-23C) and can be performed on whole cylinders, that can then be used for strength testing.
– However, at this point, no test limits have been provided until labs get a chance to become familiar with it and make comparisons to A23.2-23C results.

Note: ASTM C1202 = CSA A23.2-23C
This table is only provided to give a rough idea of equivalence.
Bulk Resistivity in A23.1-19
• There are no requirements for testing, nor test limits for resistivity.
• Coulomb limits remain unchanged in CSA A23.1, Table 2.
• The bulk resistivity test method was added so producers and testing labs can use it and get used to it.
Note: It is a very simple and rapid test, that can be performed on whole 100 x200 mm cylinders but the concrete has to be completely saturated to get reliable measurements
Summary
• CSA standards are “living documents” that are revised approximately every 5 years.
• After the 2019 edition, the next one will be in 2024.
• The changes result from new ideas, industry developments and practices as well as from new research and development of improved test methods.
