The A&E designers’ hidden secret to specifying concrete. Based on ACI standards, this presentation addresses the need to implement methods in conventional concrete and advancing technology creating a mix design to produce architectural concrete slabs that will provide the best canvas possible for polished concrete with a joint-free slab. Take the guess work out of such a design and understand how this can also help in tank farms, bridge decks and wherever concrete shrinkage is an issue.
