Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures
Monday, October 19 – Thursday, October 22, 2009

Did you know that slump is not a measure of the quality of concrete? This course takes an in-depth look at our flagship publication, Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures (EB001). Experts on each subject are brought in to explain in detail what we can expect from our concrete and how we can design mixtures for performance.

This course combines classroom instruction, lab demonstrations, and hands-on training to help employees meet customer needs. In addition, a new session on troubleshooting has been added. More details and registration.
