Concrete is a foundational building material in every industry – and on every project. Understanding the fundamentals of what concrete is, how it performs, and how to select the right mix for specific project applications is often taken for granted, but is critical to the success of every project. This course will introduce specifiers to the basics of concrete, including its manufacture, specifications, performance and applications. While the course is focused on bagged mixes ideal for small- to medium-sized construction and repairs, the insights will prove invaluable for pros working with large-scale pours like those seen in foundations, footings, columns, precast panels and more.

The selection of a wall system for a building envelope involves several key considerations. In this course, we evaluate the characteristics of pre-cast concrete, tilt-up concrete panels, insulated concrete forms, lightweight metal frame, pre-insulated masonry, and conventional masonry. We compare the performance of these wall systems on these considerations: (1) cost, (2) resilience, (3) sustainability (particularly global warming potential), (4) energy conservation, and (5) long term operating costs and environmental impacts.

This presentation will introduce the concept of using interlocking pavers in urban roadways as part of a new trend in American cities to create pathways and streets where pedestrians and vehicles share space. The European concept known as “woonerf” is a design principle that creates or retrofits low-speed roadways by incorporating traffic calming measures to create shared-space streets to reduce traffic speeds and promote the idea of the street as a public space where people can move freely from connected pathways, parking lots and buildings. The presentation addresses how paver systems work and can aid in defining use through creative colors and patterns. Issues related to public access, wheelchair comfort and safety are also addressed. Finally, the program concludes with an update on the latest industry research on the traffic calming benefits of concrete pavers.
