Workshop on Utilization of Fly Ash and other Coal Combustion By-Products
in Concrete and Other Construction Materials
Day 1
December 9, 1997, Milwaukee, WI
Workshop Description
A workshop on coal ash reuse/recycling is planned at the Milwaukee River
Hilton Inn, Milwaukee, WI, on December 9, 1997. The purpose of the workshop
is to bring attendees up-to-date with the latest information on utilization
of fly ash and other coal combustion by-products in concrete and other
civil engineering applications. The program will include presentations
showing important technical and economic advantages of using
these abundantly available materials in ordinary, everyday construction
applications including ready mixed concrete, precast concrete, flowable
slurry for backfilling excavations, highway construction, etc. The workshop
should be of interest to those associated with the construction industry,
including design and materials engineers, architects, engineering technicians,
engineers working in governmental agencies, industry and private practice,
engineering faculty and students, as well as ready mixed concrete producers,
concrete products manufacturers, and concrete contractors. The workshop
will also provide significant help to people from utilities and other industries
producing coal ash.
The program will cover basic information, application case histories,
as well as the latest developments in the utilization of coal ash from
power plants in concrete and other construction materials. State of the
art information will be presented by knowledgeable professionals engaged
in specifying, approving, marketing, and using these materials. Handout
materials will be provided.
The program is planned to include the following speakers:
-
Dennis Brush, P.E., President, Wisconsin Concrete Pavement Association,
Middleton, WI.
-
Frederick H. Gustin, P. E., Director of Engineering and Environmental Affairs,
National Minerals Corporation, St. Paul, MN.
