Don’t Get Burned by Mass Concrete

April 8, 2025 to April 8, 2025

Starting Time:   11:30am PST

End Time:   1:30pm PST

Sponsor(s): ACI San Diego

Description:
For many projects, increases to design concrete strength and schedule requirements for accelerated construction create a need for achieving strength at earlier ages. At the same time, many portions of concrete structures have also become larger to meet the demands of more advanced projects. Concrete hydration is exothermic, meaning it generates heat. Bigger elements with more cementitious materials mean more heat. This combination of conditions can create significant structural and durability issues if not addressed ahead of time.

The practicing structural engineer should be aware of the standard of care for mass concrete requirements. ACI documents, including ACI SPEC-301-20 and ACI PRC-207.1R-21, include numerous updates to help practically address common mass concrete issues. This webinar will discuss mass concrete issues broadly, as well the recent changes to guidance and specifications that could help avoid big problems with mass concrete and temperature on your next project.
