Tuesday, November 16th | 3:00 – 3:45 pm CST

Jay Shilstone, Command Alkon

The FHWA’s Performance Engineered Mixtures initiative is examining new test methods that will help predict long-term durability. However, concrete materials and mix designs aren’t the only QC initiatives underway. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the FHWA’s eConstruction movement are pushing concrete data away from paper and onto our computers. Learn how data interchange may be the “next big thing” that will impact concrete QC departments.
