Achieving Concrete Compressive Strength When You Want It

May 13 to January 1, 2025 Central Standard Time

This presentation will cover the various strategies for developing concrete mixtures that can achieve required compressive strengths anywhere from 4-72 hours. The presentation will discuss the optimal integration of mixture proportioning and chemical admixture technology to best satisfy all project demands. Also discussed will be the impact of these proportions on the handling placement and finishing of the concrete.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Attendees will learn what the primary drivers of early compressive strength development are and how to control them.
• Attendees will learn about the variety of chemical admixtures available that can be used to enhance compressive strength.
• Attendees will learn how handling, placement and finishing techniques will change based on the mixtures used.
• Attendees will be introduced to a new factor which they can use to beneficially control their project schedule.
