AT2 • MIX DESIGN SEMINAR

Saturday, Feb. 20 7:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

Farshad Rajabipour, Ph.D., Penn State University

This course provides attendees with a step-by-step process in proportioning concrete mixtures. Through clear examples and hands-on exercises, class participants practice the mix design process for various concretes and relate each step of the mix design to the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. This stimulating course will also discuss how improved performance can be obtained when using certain admixtures such as water-reducing admixtures, air-entraining admixtures and supplementary cementitious materials.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Relate mix design steps to properties of concrete
• Discover concrete performance improvements
• Discuss methods to obtain improved mix performance
