Abstract:
This presentation will highlight the potential for tension between prescriptive limits on concrete workability and the concrete production and construction team’s productivity. Common metrics that are useful to quantify a producer's operational performance will be discussed. For example, concrete producers measure “yards delivered per hour” and contractors measure “yards placed per hour”. It will also discuss how these important metrics can be influenced to optimize the speed of construction, benefiting the producer, the contractor and ultimately the owner.
