Concrete floor slabs on grade are often subject to heavy loads in buildings such as wall loads, live loads and moving loads. A common example of moving loads in buildings is a forklift axle load used in buildings such as warehouses. Learn More>>
Overview This course discusses considerations when placing concrete in cold weather. The placement of durable, quality concrete is a task that requires experience and a commitment to quality. Cold ambient temperatures decrease concrete's rate of settling. Learn More>>
Overview In general, concrete construction using low-density concrete is quite similar to using normal-density concrete. Constructability considerations related to mixing, placing, curing, pumping, and testing controls must be addressed in order to... Learn More>>
This course is of particular interest of anybody involved with concrete structures like Civil or Structural Engineers. Very little knowledge of previous ACI codes is needed. This course covers the design of rectangular singularly reinforced concrete... Learn More>>
An admixture is a material added to the batch of concrete before or during its mixing to modify its freshly mixed, setting or hardened properties. About 80% of concrete produced in North America has one or more admixtures. And 70% of the concrete produced contains Learn More>>
Overview This course will briefly discuss the challenges of placing concrete in hot, dry, and windy weather. The placement of durable, quality concrete is a task that requires experience and a commitment to quality. Hot weather imposes additional obstacles that. Learn More>>
Overview A basic understanding of the underlying causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to performing meaningful evaluations which lead to the proper selection of the method or technique used to successfully repair concrete. Learn More>>
The mixture of concrete plays an important part in the strength and durability of concrete. This course explores the feasibility of using statistical experimental design and analysis to optimize concrete mixtures. Different methods are covered... Learn More>>
Overview Concrete can deteriorate over time due to a number of factors including moisture penetration, chemical attack and physical damage. Selection of a suitable coating system, combined with proper surface preparation, application and curing of the coating, c Learn More>>
Overview The use of low-density concrete provides several advantages with the primary, and most obvious, benefit being a 15 to 25% savings in weight without sacrificing the overall strength of a structure. However, the use of low-density concrete can result in a Learn More>>
