CAN/CSA-A3001-03 Cementitious Materials for Use in Concrete 1 Scope 1.1
This Standard addresses the following aspects of various 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 various cementitious materials for use in concrete are classified as follows in this Standard:
(a) portland cement;
(b) blended hydraulic cement;
(c) supplementary cementing materials; and
(d) blended supplementary cementing materials. 1.3 In CSA 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 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. Legends to equations and figures are considered requirements. 1.4 The values given in SI (metric) units are the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. CAN/CSA-A3002-03 Masonry and Mortar Cement 1 Scope 1.1
This Standard addresses the requirements for masonry and mortar cement for use in masonry mortar. 1.2 In CSA 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 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. Legends to equations and figures are considered requirements. CAN/CSA-A3003-03 Chemical Test Methods for Cementitious Materials for Use in Concrete and Masonry 1 Scope 1.1 General
Test methods in this Standard address the chemical analysis of hydraulic cement and supplementary cementing materials. At the discretion of the laboratory, alternative methods demonstrated to be of acceptable precision and bias that further satisfy the qualification criteria of Clause 3 may be used for analysis. Note: For frequencies of chemical testing, see Table 1 of A3004-A1. 1.2 In CSA 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 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. Legends to equations and figures are considered requirements. CAN/CSA-A3004-03 Physical Test Methods for Cementitious Materials for Use in Concrete and Masonry 1 Scope 1.1
This Standard sets out the various physical test methods for hydraulic cements, supplementary cementing materials, and blended supplementary cementing materials. It is divided into test methods and Standard practices numbered A1 to A6, B1 to B7, and C1 to C9 representing dry tests, paste tests, and mortar tests, respectively. 1.2 Each test method or standard practice contains a scope, reference publications, summary of test, equipment and materials, and test procedure. 1.3 In CSA 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 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. Legends to equations and figures are considered requirements. CAN/CSA-A3005-03 Test Equipment and Materials for Cementitious Materials for Use in Concrete and Masonry 1 Scope 1.1
