Please 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.

This meeting is intended for members of the MCC Board of Directors and the Chairs of MCC Committees. It is an "invite only" meeting. Questions? Contact Margaret Mills.

The committee will be discussing topics and speakers for upcoming webinars.  Please contact Margaret Mills at 651-482-9549 if you are interested in joining the committee.

Supplementary 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).
