Some concrete practices become standard because they’ve been done that way for a long time. But do they always hold up in the field?
At this year's Tilt-Up Convention & Expo, our own Sean Brown, PE, SE, joins Bryan Birdwell, FACI, for Concrete Durability MythBusters, a discussion that puts common assumptions about water-cement ratio, reinforcement, slab-on-ground design, and today's evolving material systems to the test. Catch them on October 23 from 10:30 to 11:30 AM in Hall 3 of the Salt Palace Convention Center.
The session will bring engineering and field perspectives together to explore how design decisions can impact placement, finishing, cracking, constructability, and long-term performance.
If you’re attending, add this to your schedule.
