WEBINAR - Introduction to Insulating Concrete Forms
Learn more183 WEBINAR - Introduction to Insulating Concrete Forms 2020-07-08 10:00:00 2020-07-08 11:00:00 #f57921Please join the Minnesota Concrete Council and Build with Strength Minnesota on Wednesday, July 8 for a FREE live webinar titled "Introduction to Insulating Concrete Forms." The webinar will be presented by John Lee, PE, LEED® A.P. (Director of Business Development at Cemstone) and Curt Gohmann (Outside Sales at Brock White Company). The presentation has been approved for one AIA LU/HSW. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance for one professional development hour (PDH).
The use of Insulating Concrete Forms or ICF’s as a structural building envelope has increased in recent years as building owners look to create buildings that require less maintenance while being energy efficient, quiet and, most importantly, resilient. This one-hour presentation will discuss the concept of ICF’s from design to construction while highlighting the many benefits for the designer, contractor, owner and occupant. Attendees of this course will see a variety of project types and learn why ICF’s were chosen over other building materials.

WEBINAR (Tech Talk Tuesday) Supplementary Cementitious Materials - Comparisons, Applications, and Outlook
Learn more185 WEBINAR (Tech Talk Tuesday) Supplementary Cementitious Materials - Comparisons, Applications, and Outlook 2020-07-14 12:00:00 2020-07-14 13:00:00 #f57921Supplementary cementitious materials can be used for improved concrete performance in its fresh and hardened state. They are primarily used for improved workability, durability, and strength. These materials allow the concrete producer to design and modify the concrete mixture to suit the desired application. This presentation will cover the basics of common supplementary materials used in concrete. Common applications, comparisons of their properties in plastic and hardened concrete, as well as the outlook of their future use will all be covered in the presentation.
The presenter will be Dr. Larry Sutter, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Michigan Technological University.
The program has been approved for 1 AIA CES LU. All attendees will receive a certificate of attendance for one professional development hour (PDH).

Our Mission
The Minnesota Concrete Council (MCC) is dedicated to advancing education, technical practice, scientific investigation and research into cast-in-place construction by organizing the efforts of its members for a non-profit public service.
MCC was created to bring proven methods and new ideas together, to educate its members on how to improve the quality and use of concrete in structures, and to educate decision-makers on the benefits of quality concrete construction.
BECOME A MEMBER
MCC is proud of its growing and diverse membership. Our members represent the broadest based membership of any other local or regional organization in the cast-in-place concrete industry.
Membership represents design, construction and support industries associated with reinforced and post-tensioned concrete construction. MCC is a member-driven organization that derives its strength from both the diversity and involvement of its members. Take advantage of all MCC has to offer by joining today!
WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
Involvement with MCC has given me a direct connection to the best and brightest in Minnesota’s concrete industry, from concrete and cement suppliers, to concrete design experts, to concrete product suppliers.Thor Heimdahl, PE, SE – Sr. Structural Engineer at Life Time Architecture & Design
People don't know what they're missing. MCC has a tradition at its breakfast meetings that all attendees stand up and introduce themselves and tell everyone what they do. When you see the players in that room, you realize how important it is to be there. If you're in this industry, you need contacts and resources. And they're all in that room!Dean Stroschein – Trade Superintendent at Knutson Construction
Participating in MCC has given me the opportunity to connect with and learn about the perspectives of other individuals involved in concrete construction. As a design engineer, it has been immensely helpful to learn more about how suppliers, contractors, and testing agencies perform their duties.Doug Nagel - Associate, Senior Structural Engineer at VAA, LLC
