NRMCA, PCA Professors Workshop Scheduled for Mid-July

The 2013 Professors Workshop, co-sponsored by NRMCA and organized by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) is designed to provide faculty in engineering, architecture, and construction management programs the tools to teach the latest developments in concrete design, construction, materials, pavements and sustainability. The week-long event, scheduled for July 15-19 at PCA’s Skokie, IL, campus, includes networking opportunities to facilitate the exchange of ideas with professors from many universities. Four comprehensive sessions include:

• Concrete Materials and Properties

• Engineering and Economics of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

• Design, Construction, and Performance of Concrete Pavements

• Design and Construction of Concrete Bridges by the AASHTO LRFD

This informative workshop provides a forum that enables professors to take full advantage of all the resources available for each subject as it pertains to their curriculum. Industry groups are encouraged to identify professors interested in attending the workshop and sponsor their attendance by reimbursing registration fees and travel expenses.
