Webinar - Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC): Design and Application
Learn more305 Webinar - Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC): Design and Application 2022-05-25 12:00:00 2022-05-25 13:00:00 #f57921Ultra High Performance Concrete (UPHC) describes a class of concrete material with a unique set of properties including: Strengths of 21,000 ksi plus, high ductility, low permeability and rapid strength gain. With these unique material properties, UHPC facilitates short development lengths, thin overlays and the potential for further development in optimized prestress girders for longer spans with less material. UHPC continues to play an important role in Accelerated Bridge Construction serving as the connecting material between precast elements allowing for small joints with short lap lengths while obtaining full connectivity between the elements. This presentation will introduce the audience to UHPC, the basic material properties, applications and lessons learned.
The presenters will be Travis Konda (Senior Technical Advisor at HNTB) and Mario Ratnaraj (Bridge Engineer at HNTB)
Now in its second year, the Sustainable Structures Webinar Series was developed cooperatively in 2021 by cast-in-place and precast concrete associations from the Midwest region of the United States including Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The goal of the cooperative effort is to bring a greater awareness of the sustainable and resilient nature of concrete building systems to the design, construction, and development communities via quality continuing education programs.

Webinar - Controlling Color and Longevity in Decorative Concrete Flatwork
Learn more306 Webinar - Controlling Color and Longevity in Decorative Concrete Flatwork 2022-06-01 12:00:00 2022-06-01 13:00:00 #f57921Recognizing decorative concrete flatwork requires a higher attention to detail is critical for success. This program will cover best practices for all facets of decorative concrete flatwork. We will look at steps including pre planning, installation, sealing and maintenance, and how each impacts the end result. The primary focus will be key steps installers and designers need to consider to control color and promote longevity. The presenter will be Chris Sullivan (The Fenix Group).

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
