Description:
Meeting Topic: Concrete - Its Durability and Sustainability
Presented by Dave Flax, The Euclid Chemical Company

Concrete is well-known for its durability as a building material, but many ways exist to enhance its sustainability. This meeting will explore various methods to make concrete even more environmentally friendly, including using admixtures, supplementary cementitious materials, and different types of concrete. We will also discuss light reflectivity and protection techniques.  These strategies can extend the lifespan of concrete while reducing labor and energy costs (both initial and over the life cycle), minimizing stormwater runoff, mitigating heat island effects, and lowering carbon footprints. Understanding these options is essential as green and sustainable construction becomes increasingly important.
