Workshop
Description
The
purpose of the workshop is to bring attendees up-to-date with the
latest information on the use of coal combustion products in
concrete and other construction materials.
The program will include presentations showing important
technical, environmental, and economic advantages of using coal
ash in ordinary, everyday construction applications. 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, concrete products, and
other construction materials.
Knowledgeable professionals engaged in specifying,
approving, marketing, and using these materials will present
state-of-the-art information.
Handout materials will be provided.
