CSA A231.1-99 (R2003) PDF Download

CSA A231.1-99 (R2003) is a standard that outlines the specifications for precast concrete paving slabs used in the construction of pavement and roof coverings. The standard covers both architectural finishes and tactile surfaces, ensuring that the paving slabs meet the necessary requirements for these applications.

A notable aspect of this standard is its inclusion of two appendices. Appendix A provides information on efflorescence, a common issue in concrete, and recommends methods for its removal. This ensures that any efflorescence that may occur on the paving slabs can be effectively addressed. Appendix B serves as a valuable resource by providing a bibliography of information on pavement components made with precast concrete paving slabs and giving guidance on their installation.
