Webinar Description:

Design of durable concrete requires proper identification of the conditions the concrete will be exposed to (including exposure classifications in ACI 318-08), and then following the basic principles of durable mix design as well as materials selection for enhancing durability. Well beyond the control of concrete suppliers, obtaining durability in practice also includes issues such as structural detailing, placement and curing practices.

Presenter Bio:

Doug Hooton is a Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto and is a member of numerous ACI committees including 201 on durability and subcommittee 318A of the Building Code. He also chairs both the ACI201A and CSA subcommittees on sulfate resistance, is a member of numerous ASTM subcommittees on cement and concrete, and chairs C09.48 on Performance of Cement-Admixture Combinations.

His research focuses on the properties and performance of cementitious materials, as well as on fluid transport (permeability) properties of concrete, sustainability, durability, sustainability, service life, and performance testing of concrete. Together with K. Hover and J. Bickley, he co-authored recent reports on Developing Performance Specifications for the RMC Foundation.
