Description
This is a three-part recorded webinar from November 5 - 7, 2019.
This three-part webinar series will review the Guide for Structural Lightweight-Aggregate Concrete
Part 1: Covers the definition of lightweight-aggregate concrete for structural purposes; the production methods for structural lightweight aggregates; and inherent properties of structural lightweight aggregate concrete. This webinar discusses examples from the ACI 213R-14 guide and their applications.
Part 2: Focuses on durability and design of structural lightweight-aggregate concrete. This webinar discusses examples from the ACI 213R-14 guide and their applications.
Part 3: Discusses performance and application of structural lightweight-aggregate concrete; and covers internal curing using fine lightweight aggregate. This webinar discusses examples from the ACI 213R-14 guide and their applications.
