NRMCA and Build With Strength are presenting a full complement of educational seminars during next month's CONEXPO-CON/AGG Show in Las Vegas. Each week until the beginning of the show, E-NEWS will highlight a single seminar, which began last week with Pathway to Resilience: Concrete Solutions to Sustainable Communities scheduled for Tuesday, March 10, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. in South Hall S 232.
This week's highlighted seminar is Placing, Consolidating and Pumping Air Entrained Concrete scheduled for Tuesday, March 10, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in South Hall S 232. There is a lot of confusion surrounding placing, pumping and vibrating air entrained concrete. This seminar, presented by one of the industry's leading experts, will dispel those myths and get to the facts to take advantage of effective placing methods. Understand all the factors such as the concrete mixture itself, types of admixtures, slump, combined aggregate grading, pumping rate and pressure, the rate of depressurization, angle of the boom, the length of free-fall and the manner in which the concrete exits the line.
