Several engaging sessions are planned for the 2024 ConcreteWorks Tech Track. For example, former Michigan Tech Professor Larry Sutter who has been deeply involved with standardizing innovative low-carbon cement and supplementary cementitious materials will speak on Setting Standards for Innovative Cementitious Materials. Former ACI President Dr. Charles Nmai with Master Builders Solutions will discuss how performance-based specifications can help us achieve our goals for sustainable concrete construction.
NRMCA’s Colin Lobo and Brandon Wray will provide an overview of recent developments in ACI codes for low-carbon construction. They will discuss how designers and producers can use the NRMCA carbon calculator to set carbon budgets and show compliance in projects. Finally, there will be a panel discussion on an item of topical interest, Type IL cements. A cement supplier, concrete producer and contractor involved in the construction of the Ferguson International Center in Bloomington, IN, will discuss pre-construction best practices for success. Attendees are encouraged to attend to learn from the experts and contribute to the discussions.
