The next NRMCA Concrete Durability Course will be offered at the Tennessee Concrete Association office in Antioch, TN (Nashville area) from May 16 - 18. The course is taught by Kevin Folliard of the University of Texas at Austin, Anton Schindler of Auburn University and NRMCA Engineering Staff. It provides a fundamental understanding of the nature of cement and concrete as they relate to durability of concrete in a wide range of exposures. Topics will cover cracking, alkali-aggregate reactions, sulfate attack, corrosion of reinforcing steel, freeze-thaw durability and other aspects. The general durability mechanism is discussed along with developing mixtures to minimize the problem and associated tests to measure potential durability.
