Title: Standards and specifications for advancing low-carbon materials

Concrete material's tests and specifications have not evolved appreciably over the last 100 years but with the advent of new binders, the applicability of test methods in current specifications needs to be confirmed, and new test methods need to be developed. Additionally, a transition from prescriptive to performance specifications must occur. As examples, concerns with tests such as the loss on ignition and strength activity index have led to the development of tests such as the foam index test and the R3 tests. However, these new tests are only beginning to be included in standard specifications and the user community will need to develop familiarity with a performance-based approach to specifying materials. In this talk, integration of new tests are discussed. An overview of new standards and specifications in progress is presented, including new performance-based specifications.
