Chase Center
Slag Cement: CEMEX
Award: Architectural
The Chase Center is home to the San Francisco Golden State Warriors and includes an 18,000-person arena, 580,000 ft2 (54,000 m2) of office space, 100,000 ft2 (9200 m2) of retail space, a parking facility, and a 35,000 ft2 (3200 m2) public plaza/recreation area.
Slag cement was used for its durability benefits, higher strength gains, lighter color, and its sustainable benefits to achieve LEED credit points. Concrete mixtures were designed to obtain 6000 to 8000 psi (41 to 55 MPa) strength which was achieved. Special 8000 psi shotcrete was used to replace cast-in-place concrete.
