NRMCA Senior Director, Local Paving, Greg Halsted traveled to Reno, NV, on March 31 to speak as part of Concrete Expo 2023 sponsored by the Sierra Nevada Concrete Association and the ACI Northern California and Western Nevada Chapter. The event attracted approximately 85 architects, designers, engineers, producers, contractors and material suppliers. The morning technical session began with Dr. Jason Weiss from Oregon State University educate attendees on Understanding Shrinkage and Approaches to Reduce Shrinkage Cracking and Sustainable Concrete Mixtures. After lunch and visit time with exhibitors, Halsted presented the afternoon technical session on The Proper Placement, Curing, and Finishing of Concrete.
Designed to attract individuals involved with design, construction, quality assurance, testing, and maintenance of pavements and bridges, the presentations were well-received and generated a lot of thoughtful discussion afterward, Halsted reported. He also introduced to NRMCA’s Build With Strength and Pave Ahead initiatives and discussed how they could benefit from these programs on their next concrete projects.
