Mass Concrete: Overview of Structural Concerns and Recommended Practices
Mass Concrete: Overview of Structural Concerns and Recommended Practices
Mass concrete requires careful planning to protect long-term structural performance. RRC's Jason Stripling will cover what qualifies as mass concrete, review key ACI specifications and structural considerations, and discuss alternative temperature limits and best practices to mimimize issues associated with real world projects.
About the Webinar:
Mass concrete is often an over-looked aspect when constructing moderately large concrete structures. Understanding when a structure is considered mass concrete and how to address the structural concerns associated with the elevated curing temperatures is critical to avoid potentially deleterious damage. Attendees will learn how to determine when structures are considered mass concrete, the structural concerns ACI specifications address, and when the ACI temperature limits can be replaced by project specific limits while still mitigating the underlying structurals concerns.
What You’ll Learn:
PDH Certificates will be provided to attendees upon request.
Who Should Attend:
This webinar is ideal for engineers, developers, project managers, and renewable energy professionals involved in constructing large concrete structures who want to strengthen their understanding of the structural concerns due to high concrete temperatures associated with mass concrete.
