INTRODUCTION 

This self-paced, four-module seminar is an introduction to both Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) and Asphaltic Concrete. Concrete, is arguably the world’s most used construction material. Students will become familiar with the materials and properties of concrete and the manipulators used; including formwork, additives, and reinforcement. Students will develop an awareness of installation techniques for horizontal and vertical concrete, uses for tiltup and precast concrete. Students will gain a working understanding of weather’s impact on concrete and the uses of asphaltic concrete. This seminar provides both an introduction to concrete and an opportunity to deepen your industry knowledge of a material used all over the world in diverse conditions.
