The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association is sponsoring the 2009 Concrete Technology Forum: Focus on Performance Prediction. This two-day symposium and product expo in Cincinnati, OH will bring researchers and practitioners together to discuss the latest advances, technical knowledge, continuing research, tools and specifications that involve test methods and modeling to predict concrete performance and service life of concrete structures. 

Researchers, engineers, contractors, concrete producers, public works officials, material suppliers, and concrete professionals should attend this symposium to learn and discuss innovative and state of the art developments on testing and modeling on the following suggested topics:

Hardened concrete properties

  • Durability

  • Permeability

  • Strength

  • Stiffness and creep

  • Shrinkage and cracking

  • Abrasion resistance

  • Density

  • Thermal characteristics

  • Chemical resistance

  • Reflectance

 

Concrete applications

  • Self consolidating concrete

  • Pervious concrete

  • High strength concrete

  • High early strength concrete

  • Green building

  • Fire resistance

  • Blast and seismic resistance

  • Hurricane and tornado resistance

  • Innovative applications

  • Specifications

Plastic concrete properties:

  • Finishability

  • Workability

  • Pumpability

  • Setting time

  • Shrinkage, cracking, and curling

  • Uniformity

  • Early age strength

Performance evaluation:

  • Computer-based simulation

  • Empirical models

  • Service life models

  • Early age testing

  • Non-destructive testing

  • Quality control methods

  • Quality assurance methods

  • Forensic evaluation
