Presented by: Peter Taylor, National Concrete Pavement Technology Center  (BIO)
Time: See times listed above │ 1.5 hours duration
Pricing: $50 (Members & Non-Members)

Webinar Description:

Not every batch of concrete turns out the way we had hoped. Sometimes it takes some detective work to figure what went wrong, how we can prevent it happening again, and what we can do to repair it.
 

This webinar discusses some of the problems that are commonly seen and what causes them. The session also describes the process of how troubleshooting can be conducted starting by looking at the big picture and working smaller as needed. The real art is learning to ask the right questions such as “What has changed?”
 

The discussion will refer to experiences and case studies, but will also be built on teaching the fundamentals behind good concrete technology.

Presenter Bio:

Peter Taylor has been employed at the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center for two years. During that time has been involved in managing and conducting research projects and programs investigating materials related aspects of concrete pavements.

Prior to that, while managing the Materials Consulting Group at Construction Technology Laboratories, Inc he was involved in a wide range of projects, including troubleshooting problems at a variety of construction sites around the country.

His prime area of interest is in concrete durability, including the development of test methods for assessing the potential durability of concrete mixtures.

A Professional Engineer, registered in Illinois, Dr. Taylor is an active member of TRB, ASTM and ACI with particular involvement in the committees relating to development of test methods for assessing potential durability of concrete, and in the use of slag and fly ash.

Current projects include:

• CP Road Map Mix Track – Development of methods and tools to improve the way that concrete mixtures are specified, designed and tested.

• CP Road Map Sustainability Track – Development of methods and tools to reduce the impact that concrete pavement construction has on the environment while improving the societal and economic contributions.

• Ternary Mixtures for Pavements – Investigation on the feasibility of using mixtures containing three cementitious materials in pavement construction.

Dr Taylor is the author of more than 50 publications, and is actively involved in teaching applied materials technology to practicing engineers. He is a Member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of ASTM International.
