NRMCA Concrete Durability Course – Part of Spring Semester Series

NRMCA's Concrete Durability Course provides ready mixed concrete professionals and associated technical personnel with the critical knowledge and skills necessary to ensure that the industry produces high-quality and durable concrete products and structures. Learners enrolled in this course will gain insight into the mechanisms that impact concrete durability; learn to identify and evaluate the deterioration of concrete; and how to review methods to prevent and mitigate durability problems. Topics will cover the concrete microstructure, cracking, corrosion mechanisms, freeze-thaw resistance, sulfate resistance, alkali aggregate reactions (AAR) and other durability-related distress. Also covered are requirements in industry code and specifications and performance-based alternatives to achieve durable concrete. Attendees passing the course exam will have the opportunity to obtain the NRMCA Concrete Technologist Level 4 Certification.

Professionals enrolled in the course will benefit from the expert instruction of leading figures in the study of concrete durability, including Kevin Folliard, Ph.D., professor of civil engineering at the University of Texas at Austin; Anton Schindler, Ph.D., P.E., professor of civil engineering at Auburn University and Colin Lobo, Ph.D., P.E., NRMCA executive vice president of engineering.
