Join us for a presentation by Joshua Lee, PE, Bakaert Corporation, on Fiber Reinforced Concrete!

In today’s market, the demand for cost effective, innovative, and long-term high performing concrete slabs is pushing structural engineers and contractors to provide a strong solution. Fiber reinforced concrete can be that strong solution by providing ductility, post crack strength, high fatigue and impact resistance, and optimized crack control. The focus will be on slabs-on-ground, but will include other structures that can utilize steel fibers as reinforcement. Various design approaches can be used by structural engineers in the industry to design concrete slabs-on-ground, slabs-on-piles and mat slabs. Performance testing of fiber reinforced concrete, to ensure the performance of a fiber reinforced concrete slab, as well as the practical aspects of fiber reinforced concrete, such as concrete placement, finishing of the slab, mix designs, saw cutting, etc, will be discussed. 

Breakfast buffet at the Argosy Casino, followed by the presentation.

Check in at 7:45 am
