Encasements Bellevue, WA Holcim Case Study C-Crete - Storefront Stemwall

Habitat is a transit-oriented, live-work-thrive destination situated on 3.5 acres at 3401 S. La Cienega Blvd in the heart of Los Angeles. This innovative sustainable design mixed-use and transit-oriented development by Lendlease and Aware Super includes two mid-rise buildings with residential, office, ground-floor retail, and below grade parking. Cemex, the project ready-mix supplier was already using blended cements with slag, in support of the Lendlease Mission Zero corporate goals to reduce the project’s carbon footprint. This study sought to push next generation alternatives as well, evaluating these already lower-carbon mixtures against a no portland cement C-Crete ASTM C1157 mixture with an activated slag cement binder. Material was shipped to Cemex, who performed both laboratory, mock-ups, and field placements of the concrete using C-Crete cement. Final placements included reinforced concrete stem walls that support retail storefronts.
