Este 24 y 25 de julio del 2008, San Francisco, California, USA, se realizará el Seminario Diseño de Estructuras de Concreto.

Designing High Performance Concrete Structures 

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) have teamed to offer a new seminar titled Designing High Performance Structures. The seminar, an ASCE Continuing Education Course, provides attendees with 1.4 Continuing Education Units (CEU) or 14 Professional Development Hours (PDH). This course will help design engineers, contractors, and concrete producers understand how to design and build high-performance concrete structures exposed to harsh environments such as bridges, roadways, plazas, parking structures, marine structures or any structure with exposed concrete. Recommendations will be provided for designing and specifying concrete that can resist failure mechanisms such as corrosion, alkali-silica reactivity, sulfate attack, and freezing and thawing using performance-based specifications. Learn the latest design methodologies for resisting severe loading including hurricanes, tornadoes, and fire. Utilize high performance concrete to provide environmentally friendly building solutions.
