Overview
The increasing demands for higher concrete strength and faster project timelines often require achieving strength at earlier ages. Additionally, today’s concrete structures are larger, leading to increased heat generation due to exothermic reactions in concrete hydration. Without careful management, these factors can cause serious structural and durability issues in mass concrete applications.
Structural engineers must stay current on best practices and standards of care for mass concrete. This webinar will provide an in-depth look at current challenges, as well as updated guidance from ACI standards, including ACI SPEC-301-20 and ACI PRC-207.1R-21. Join us to gain insights into preventing temperature-related issues in your concrete projects.
