Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

While on a recent swing through Ohio, NRMCA Senior National Resource Director Phil Kresge spoke at the Ohio Concrete Association’s (OCA) 2013 Winter Concrete Seminars. The annual events are hosted by OCA’s four regional groups. Attendees are primarily engineers, but also include architects, municipal officials, contractors and ready mix producers.

Approximately 75 attendees at the Northwest seminar in Perrysburg listened as Kresge spoke about Life Cycle Assessment and Life-Cycle Cost Analysis. The presentation included highlights of the research results from MIT’s Concrete Sustainability Hub. A similarly-sized crowd attended the Southwest program in Cincinnati where Kresge presented on concrete overlays, focusing on the new Guide to Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots from the RMC Research & Education Foundation and the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center. This presentation was also provided to approximately 120 individuals at the Central/Southeast regional meeting in Worthington (suburban Columbus). 

Additionally, as part of the Perrysburg program Kresge led a breakout session on Alternate Pavement Design. His presentation focused on advances that have been made by NRMCA’s National Resource Director Team with regard to its National Accounts, particularly through the introduction of alternate concrete pavement design. He highlighted the important role that NRMCA’s Design Assistance Program has played and encouraged attendees to utilize the OCA’s design assistance available through their Engineering Services Center.
