Objective:

OS2.1, OS2.3, OS2.3

 

APPLICATION:

Cement for site-batched, cast-in-place concrete that is not required to be reinforced that is used in:
  • footings, foundation walls, walls, columns, grade beams and piers,
  • crawl space ground cover,
  • basement floors, including floors of basement garages, subject to hydrostatic pressure or providing lateral resistance to foundation walls,
  • exterior steps, including steps providing structural support (to guards or handrails, for example), and
  • fireplaces and chimneys.
This applies to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9].

INTENT:

To limit the probability that the use of inappropriate or substandard cement will lead to the inadequate performance or premature failure of concrete under expected environmental or structural loads.
This is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
  • structural failure, or
  • where concrete supports or is used in an environmental separator, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which could lead to the deterioration of building elements.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.

To limit the probability that the use of inappropriate or substandard cement will lead to the inadequate performance or premature failure of concrete under expected environmental or structural loads.
This is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
  • structural failure,
  • where concrete supports or is used in an environmental separator, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which could lead to the deterioration of building elements, which could lead to further compromised structural integrity, or
  • where concrete supports walls or floors, an inability to resist expected loads, which could lead to
    • the excessive deformation or deflection of walls, and
    • the excessive deflection or vibration of floors.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • the space being unsuitable for its intended use,
  • compromised operation of windows and doors, and
  • damage to the building.

Where concrete supports or is used in an environmental separator, to limit the probability of the inadequate performance or premature failure of concrete under expected environmental or structural loads.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • the compromised integrity of the environmental separator, or
  • an inadequate resistance to air and moisture transfer through the concrete.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • pollutant ingress (from the exterior or from adjacent interior space, including soil gas, combustion products from parking garages, and particulates),
  • precipitation ingress,
  • condensation,
  • the ingress of moisture from the ground, or
  • the compromised thermal performance of components intended to provide resistance to heat transfer.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from materials that become unstable on wetting,
  • deterioration, which could lead to further compromised integrity of environmental separators, or
  • an inadequate control of indoor air and surface temperatures, drafts, relative humidity, or water accumulation.
