| 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… 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. |

| 1/10/24 | Concrete Basics for Young Professionals | Tyler Ley, PhD, PE, FACI, FAcerS | 1 Hour |
Many issues related to construction can be all… Many issues related to construction can be alleviated by a fundamental understanding of the basics of concrete. This starts with knowledge of the standard components of a concrete mixture including cementitious materials, aggregates, water, and admixtures and their importance on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The combination of these materials in various proportions can produce mixtures suitable for a wide range of applications and placement methods. Once placed, the concrete must be properly cured to develop its intended properties. This presentation introduces the basics of concrete and describes its importance and application as a construction material. |

| 3/13/24 | Concrete Innovations - Pathways for reducing concrete's carbon footprint | Donn Thompson, Senior Director, Building Innovations, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association | 1 Hour |
It is becoming increasingly common for developers and the AEC community … It is becoming increasingly common for developers and the AEC community to establish carbon reduction goals for projects, in addition to other sustainability targets. Policies are being put in place that set carbon footprint limits on certain materials. In this session we will review the current landscape of embodied carbon and sustainability, how to calculate the carbon footprint of your scope on a project and discuss availability of local materials and strategies to reduce embodied carbon of concrete, including specific strategies to incorporate in specifications. We will also discuss how the ready-mix supplier can support the industry on a project that has carbon reduction goals. |

| 10/13/20 | ACI 360 – Design of Slabs on Ground | Scott Tarr, PE, FACI (North S.Tarr Concrete Consulting) | 2 Hours |
There are five commonly used procedures for designing industrial floor s… There are five commonly used procedures for designing industrial floor slabs. All of them are effective when their recommendations and details are followed. So, how does a designer choose the best method for a particular floor? The most common approach is to determine the type of floor construction needed for expected loading conditions. Then, from the design procedures, select the most appropriate method for determining floor thickness, reinforcement, joint spacing, and other details. This presentation will discuss the ACI 360 “Guide to Design of Slabs on Ground”. It will briefly address the planning, design, and detailing of slabs. Background information on design theories is followed by discussion of the types of slabs, soil-support systems, loadings, and jointing. Some worked design examples for various types of concrete slabs-on-ground will also be covered. |

| 11/18/21 | Ethics - Why Do Good People Do Bad Things? | David Schultz (Hamline University) | 2 Hours |
Why do good people and organizations act unethically? Architects and eng… Why do good people and organizations act unethically? Architects and engineers may confront ethical dilemmas in many forms during their professional practice, especially in the public arena. Many think that only unethical people do bad things, and that ethical people generally do not do bad things. However, the reality is that is often not the case, and this presentation will discuss why good or ethical people often act unethically. In this program, attendees will examine the Minnesota Rules of Professionalism and Ethics and examine examples of ethical dilemmas in professional practice. Specific case studies will be used to provide a foundation for an analysis regarding how the fostering of ethical diversity and thinking about one's personal ethics within organizations can prevent the slippery slopes that lead to administrative evil or unethical behavior. |
