Baty II, F.ACI, F.TCA (Tilt Up Concrete Association)	1 Hour	The tilt-up industry remains characterized as a budding or growing deliv… View Description ---Close--- The tilt-up industry remains characterized as a budding or growing delivery method for new construction. This dominant method of design and construction has a rich history of more than a century of influence and nearly fifty years of dramatic growth and unmatched solutions. This presentation will move through the concepts of the traditional tilt-up building and address the principle design requirements and challenges faced. The presenter will be James R. Baty II, F.ACI, F.TCA (Tilt Up Concrete Association). No credits will be awarded for viewing recordings of the webinar. The webinar is being sponsored by the Iowa Ready Mixed Concrete Association, the Minnesota Concrete Council, the North Dakota Concrete Council, the South Dakota Ready Mix Association, and the Wisconsin Ready Mixed Concrete Association.

4/12/23	Design for Resilience and Sustainability	Andy Horgan (Nudura Systems, Inc.) and Jim Schneider, LEED AP (PCI Mountain States)	1 Hour	Resilient design of buildings in the twenty-first century is imperative … View Description ---Close--- Resilient design of buildings in the twenty-first century is imperative given increased intensity and frequency of extreme adverse climatic events. Buildings must withstand environmental impacts to their exteriors while simultaneously protecting the occupants within and maintain operational functionality. In this presentation we will discuss how to incorporate concrete construction systems as a sustainable building assembly option to meet the challenges of designing and building energy efficient and resilient structures that can withstand most, if not all natural disasters. Architects, Engineers, General Contractors and Building Owners will gain a thorough understanding of concrete structural system benefits, including thermal envelope performance, design integration, construction processes, and renewable energy resources for consideration and implementation into overall building envelope design and construction.

5/10/23	Ethical Decision Making in Engineering and Construction	David Schultz	1 Hour	Engineering ethics is a set of ethical standar… View Description ---Close--- Engineering ethics is a set of ethical standards for engineers to follow which can apply to most circumstances that arise on the job. These ethical standards are the engineers’ obligations towards the public, employers and the profession. The purpose of engineering ethics is to identify specific ethical issues that may arise in order to avoid a potential problem. The presenter will be David Schultz, Professor of Political Science (Hamline University). No credits will be awarded for viewing recordings of the webinar. The webinar is being sponsored by the Iowa Ready Mixed Concrete Association, the Minnesota Concrete Council, the North Dakota Concrete Council, the Oklahoma Ready Mixed Concrete Association, the South Dakota Ready Mix Association, and the Wisconsin Ready Mixed Concrete Association.

6/21/23	Innovations and Operations: Sustainability Initiatives in the Concrete Industry	Jim Schneider, LEED AP (PCI Mountain States) and Donn Thompson, AIA, LEED AP (NRMCA)	1 Hour	Concrete is a durable, resilient material that can provide many benefits… View Description ---Close--- Concrete is a durable, resilient material that can provide many benefits to efficient, sustainable structures in the long term. While concrete does have an upfront CO2 impact, the industry is working to reduce GHG emissions and increase the efficiency of its products. This presentation will discuss technical innovations to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete and examine current process improvements that are pushing the industry forward to a more sustainable future.

7/12/23	LOW EMBODIED CARBON MATERIALS FOR CONCRETE	Larry Sutter, Ph.D., P.E. Sutter Engineering LLC	1 Hour	This presentation will discuss materials being developed for the concret… View Description ---Close--- This presentation will discuss materials being developed for the concrete industry that will lower the embodied carbon of a yard of concrete. Some materials are ready to use and do not require additional support or alteration of how we produce, place, and finish concrete. Others will require new approaches, new specification, and new understanding of chemistry. No credits will be awarded for viewing recordings of the webinar. The webinar is being sponsored by the Iowa Ready Mixed Concrete Association, the Minnesota Concrete Council, the North Dakota Concrete Council, the Oklahoma Ready Mixed Concrete Association, the South Dakota Ready Mix Association, and the Wisconsin Ready Mixed Concrete Association.

8/10/23	Communicating Sustainability: How to share your message about sustainable initiatives.	Kimberly Kayler, CPSM, President, AOE	1 Hour	The concrete industry has a goal of carbon neu… View Description ---Close--- The concrete industry has a goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. In response to this goal, many industry organizations are tasked with getting their message related to decarbonization and sustainability to their customers, specifiers, and employees. Transparency and recognition of goals and achievements are vital. Kimberly will discuss a variety of methods and materials that should be used to effectively communicate progress. Kimberly will help you identify key ways to communicate the steps your organization is taking, whether that be in the form of a new product or innovative process, that will help your organization reach your sustainability goals.

9/13/23	Shoring and Reshoring Loads, Safety, Cost, Schedule, Concrete and Responsibility	Professor Ken Hover, Cornell University	1 Hour	Forms, shores, and re-shores are a temporary s… View Description ---Close--- Forms, shores, and re-shores are a temporary structure that carries the weight and construction load of the permanent structure until it is strong enough to stand up for itself. While serving this temporary duty, forms, shores, and re-shores impact construction safety, cost, productivity, and schedule, and influence appearance, deformations, tolerances, and cracking of the hardened reinforced or prestressed concrete. This presentation introduces Codes, standard specifications, OSHA, and ANSI documents that address responsibilities for forms and shores. By an example of a multi-story building, we look at how shore and re-shore systems work, including how shoring & re-shoring plans must be synchronized with rate-of-strength-gain of the concrete, as influenced by mix-design and ambient temperature. This complex topic demonstrates how schedule, concrete mix, weather, construction technology, lab and in-place testing all come together.	A recording is not available for this webinar.

11/8/23	Evaluation of Concrete Core Test Results According to ACI 318-19	Luke Snell, P.E.	1 Hour	This presentation by Luke Snell, P.E. and an H… View Description ---Close--- This presentation by Luke Snell, P.E. and an Honorary Member of ACI will take us step by step through the process of how to make a decision with core test results. Remember everyone is on edge when cores are needed – the concrete may be below strength and correction measures even removed may be needed!!!	View Recording	Download Handout
