Concrete Flatwork: The Art and Science Behind a Successful Project
The most visible concrete in a project is often the flatwork in exposed concrete slabs, sidewalks, and parking lots. Despite this, the importance of proper flatwork design, specification, and construction is frequently overlooked on projects, as is the importance of partnering with experienced contractors and applying appropriate techniques. In this webinar, we will explore the key contributors to a successful flatwork project and use case studies to highlight how to address challenges that may arise. Additionally, we will discuss how new factors—such as the emergence of portland-limestone cement and low-embodied carbon requirements—impact the traditional methods often used on projects.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand the process for designing and specifying concrete flatwork.
- Identify the challenges associated with the placement, finishing, and curing of concrete flatwork.
- Discuss the contributions that all parties involved in design and construction have on the overall success of flatwork construction.
- Recognize how new factors, such as low-embodied carbon requirements, are changing the traditional materials and methods used in concrete flatwork construction.
Participants will earn 1 AIA CES Learning Unit (LU/HSW) for attending the live webinar. Registration is free. Please note that space is limited – email events@sgh.com to join our waitlist if the session is closed when you register.
