NRMCA Senior Vice President of Engineering Colin Lobo was invited to present at the convention of the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC) in Dallas. The topic covered implications to the contractor in ASTM C94 and ACI standards. Lobo covered the contractor (purchaser) responsibilities in the Specification for Ready Mixed Concrete, ASTM C94, and some aspects that impact the contractor in ACI 301, Specification for Structural Concrete and ACI 318, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. A mock ACI Committee meeting was also held at one session, facilitated by Professor Ken Hover (see above E-NEWS item), to provide a flavor to the types of deliberations and indicate the importance of contractor participation on standards committees.
