In this presentation, we will address the effect that corrosion has on our concrete infrastructure, including buildings, bridges, sea walls, cooling towers, docks, and many other reinforced concrete structures.
Proper installation of the RFP and Mesh system on stucco substrates that have cracking issues will be demonstrated. This involves application of the product with embedded mesh. Also shown will be the application of a "Kiss Coat" of material applied over the previous first coat installation. Finally, how to perform a field adhesion test to ensure adequate bond will be demonstrated. The product, history, benefits and procedures for a successful application and installation will be discussed as well as proper surface preparation and how weather conditions can affect the installation. Demonstration will be hands-on installation on an actual building.
Join us for an exciting hour showcasing new initiatives of ICRI; innovations at the chapter level; and a high energy panel discussion exploring lessons from the pandemic that are re-shaping our industry.
he appeal of a post-pandemic return to normalcy is undeniable. Everyone is ready to leave the days of mask wearing and Zoom meetings behind and to return to the days of water cooler gatherings and all-staff meetings. However, even as we (hopefully) move past the pandemic, it is critical for companies to not lose sight of what they accomplished despite the pandemic. Companies across the world innovated more in one year than they had in the previous twenty years to keep business alive. The question we must now address is: how do we maintain those initiatives and innovative ways of working that allowed us to succeed throughout COVID-19 despite the temptation to return to “business as usual”?
In this session, Dr. Hataway will provide essential strategies to help you and your company grow your competitive edge in a post-pandemic world.
Panel Discussion to examine the effects of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic across the various aspects of our industry and in the different parts of the United States.
Testing moisture in concrete doesn't need to be complicated. Five (5) currently recognized ASTM test protocols for testing concrete slabs for moisture will be explained using the "How and Why" perspective while providing the proper, yet basic, scientific context behind their usage.
Demonstration will show Schönox AP Rapid Plus poured over Schönox Renotex® 3D Glass Fiber Reinforcement fabric that makes up our Renotex® 3D Renovation System. It is designed to create a new substrate for subsequent floor covering installation. Schönox AP Rapid Plus is a pumpable self-leveling compound designed for deep pour, fast-track installations on most substrates in interior areas. It is built with Hybrid Active-Dry Technology, which means that ambient air temperature and humidity have no effect on curing times. This technology is the culmination of Schönox’s extensive research in this area to develop products with fast strength and drying characteristics with minimal shrinkage or expansion. Combined, the Schönox Renotex® 3D System is strong, versatile, and durable.
Concrete repair activities expose the workforce to significant risk of head injuries. Helmets can help the construction industry reduce these avoidable fatalities and injuries.
The FRCM externally bonded Composite Strengthening Systems repair and reinforcement solution combines high-performance sprayable mortar with a carbon-fiber grid that creates a thin structural layer without significantly increasing the structure's weight or volume. With FRCM, contractors can effectively repair, protect, and strengthen concrete and masonry structures in a single application for a fraction of the installed cost of traditional shotcrete.
