NRMCA, PCA 2014 Professors Workshop Scheduled for July

The 2014 Professors Workshop, co-sponsored by NRMCA and organized by 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 21-25 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 Properties

• Engineering and Economics of Concrete Buildings

• Design, Construction and Performance of Concrete Pavements

• Design and Construction of Concrete Bridges by the AASHTO LRFD

NRMCA’s Lionel Lemay will present Sustainable Concrete: The Role of Performance-based Specifications, an informative workshop that provides a forum to enable professors to take full advantage of all the resources available for each subject as they pertain to their curriculum. NRMCA state affiliates and members are encouraged to identify professors interested in attending the workshop and sponsor their attendance by reimbursing registration fees and travel expenses.
