Form, Function, and Footprint: A Field Test of Sustainable Concrete Solutions
Overview
12:00 – 1:00 PM CT
How should a project team tackle the challenge of lowering the embodied carbon in high-early strength concrete mixes? In November 2023, a consortium of industry stakeholders poured and erected three experimental concrete tilt-wall panels to compare performance between common and innovative concrete mixes, each of which achieves varying levels of embodied carbon reduction when compared to industry average benchmarks. In addition to strength data, the project team recorded field observations comparing the workability and finishability of each mix. Learn the key takeaways from this validation process of lower-carbon concrete mixes, and discover best practices for lower-carbon concrete.
