It is manufactured with portlandcement, granulated blast furnace slag, and silica fume. It is an ideal product forhigh performance concrete applications. Tercem 3000 is also well suited for walls,foundations, beams, columns, water retention structures, precast and prestressedproducts, roads and bridges, and industrial floors. In addition, Tercem 3000 canprovide outstanding results in roller compacted concrete.Strength (Mpa)5040302028 days7 days101 day00.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8Tercem 3000W/CMSTRENGTH PERFORMANCEDurability Factor (%)1101051009590Resistance toFreezing and ThawingASTM C 666 - 300 F/T CYCLESMass Loss (g/m 2 )400350300250200150100500.35 0.42 0.44Nominal W/CMGUGUb SFTercem 3000GUGUb SFTercem 3000Tercem 3000 has been used since 1998 to produce quality concrete meetingstringent design requirements for strength and durability. The materials inTercem 3000 work synergistically to produce concrete that has superior strength,increased resistance to alkali aggregate reaction, increased resistance to sulfateattack, and reduced permeability. Tercem 3000 shows good freeze-thaw resistancewhen tested in accordance with ASTM C-666 and good deicer salt scalingresistance when tested in accordance with ASTM C 672. Tercem 3000 meetsthe requirements of the Bureau de Normalisation du Quebec 2621-900 fordeicer scaling resistance. As with all concrete, for good freeze-thaw resistanceand good deicer scaling resistance, a properly designed mixture that is finishedand cured in accordance with ACI and CSA specifications and standards is essential.Tercem 3000 contains post-industrial materials and can be used for projectswhere sustainable construction practices are required. Tercem 3000 can helpa project achieve LEED credits.Tercem 3000 meets the applicable requirements of CSA A3000 "CementitiousMaterial Compendium," A3001 "Blended Hydraulic Cement" and ASTM C 1157"Standard Performance Specification for Hydraulic Cement."In all applications where Tercem 3000 is used, all applicable project specifications,local standards, CSA standards, and ACI standards should be followed.Deicer Salt ScalingResistanceASTM C 672 - 50 CYCLES00.35 0.42 0.44Nominal W/CM
