Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Concrete is unique among building materials. Design professionals and contractors have a greater influence on concrete’s product formulation than they do with other building products. Concrete can be made stronger, lighter, more flowable, stiffer, less permeable and more sustainable depending on performance needs using performance specifications. This session will explore how concrete can be specified for durability and resilience while reducing carbon emissions.
