Description
Designers are increasingly being charged with incorporating reduced-carbon concrete technologies into projects. For many this presents a challenge to understand these new requirements while still achieving structural design goals and delivering a cost-effective design. The purpose of this session is to discuss the process of delivering reduced-carbon concrete from a design engineer’s perspective.
