The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association is sponsoring the 2007 Concrete Technology Forum: Focus on High Performance Concrete, scheduled for May 22-24, 2007 at the Fairmont Dallas Hotel. The forum will bring researchers and practitioners together to discuss the latest advances, technical knowledge, continuing research, tools and solutions for high performance concrete.
A total of 17 technical sessions are scheduled for the three-day symposium featuring over 50 presentations from nationally renowned researchers and practitioners. The technical sessions present state-of-the-art developments, new construction techniques and product formulations that optimize performance of high performance concrete.
Researchers, engineers, architects, contractors, concrete producers, public works officials, material suppliers and concrete industry profession
als are invited to attend. Topics include:
• Self Consolidating Concrete
• Ultra Fast Track
Construction
• Extended Service Life
• Industrial Concrete Floors
• Applications & Case Studies
