Cold-Weather Concreting
Concrete
can be placed safely without damage from freezing throughout the winter
months in cold climates if certain precautions are taken. During cold
weather, the concrete mixture and its temperature should be adapted to
the construction procedure and ambient weather conditions. This webinar
will provide an introduction to the effects of cold temperature on the
properties of concrete and the general requirements for producing concrete
in cold weather.
At the end of this course, participants will have the ability to:
| • Properly define the criteria for cold weather concreting situations |
| • Describe the primary effects cold temperatures have on fresh and hardened concrete properties. |
| • Describe the general requirements for concrete production and placement in cold weather, including precautions for selecting materials, equipment and handling, and curing and protection methods. |
| • List the applicable standards and specifications associated with cold weather concreting |
Upon completion of the webinar, registered participants will be emailed a copy of the presentation slides, a certificate for 0.1 CEU credit, and a PDF of “Cold-Weather Concreting”, Chapter 14 of PCA’s Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, 14th edition, EB001.
The cost of this one-hour
Webinar is $60.
$30 for PCA members; government officials (.gov); students and educators(.edu).
