Description

Most professionals in the concrete industry understand that concrete will crack and expects concrete to crack; however, there seem that there is always a dispute about cracks in concrete. So, when cracking becomes a problem, who is responsible for the cracks. Some of these disputes have resulted in significant repair cost or the cost of removal of concrete structures. This program discusses the responsibilities of the design engineer, general contractor, concrete contractor, concrete producer, and others in determining which member(s) of the Project Team is responsible for resolution. This session should be attended by anyone who has ever been involved in a dispute pertaining to cracks in concrete.
