The use of Fiber Reinforced Concrete continues to evolve and become more common place in everyday concrete construction. Learn how the new ACI 544.4R document can help ready- mix producers, engineers and contractors by providing a roadmap to designing FRC for many applications including floors, precast, shotcrete and paving applications. An update will also be provided on other CODE approvals such as UL fire classification for composite deck designs, various DOT initiatives for paving with FRC and the improvements in ASTM and other test methods to verify correct fiber selection and quantities in concrete.

The presenter will be:
Mike Mahoney, P.E., FACI,  
Director of Marketing & Technology for Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Euclid Chemical Company

Industrial and high-end commercial floors are in high demand. This seminar will help attendees understand how to both meet and exceed the project requirements. Attendees will learn how to implement a unique place and finish process with their own crews for a particular application and be able to minimize the common floor finishing issues that often arise.

Lighter, faster and more cost effective than other forms of construction, Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs) are quickly becoming the construction method of choice for all forms of construction including single and multi-family, hotels, schools, offices. Concrete contractors, masons and framers have an opportunity to learn how their trade can work with ICFs to enhance their competitiveness in today’s construction environment. The presentation will focus on how to communicate basic ICF detailing, design efficiencies, and other necessary information to designers who may not be familiar with ICF construction. Also included in the presentation will be information on how ICF’s can affect other sections of the specification, best construction practices, and tips on how to determine labor costs for an ICF project.

The presenters will be Justice Olson (Nudura) and D.C. Mangimelli (Fox Blocks)

Attendees will be issued a certificate of attendance for one PDH.  The presentation has also been approved for 1 AIA CES LU.
