Why Does Concrete Do the Things It Does?

Why Does Concrete Do the Things It Does?

This seminar is targeted specifically at any one in the concrete construction industry who may use, produce, place, finish, specify, approve or design concrete of all levels of experience and to provide a greater understanding of why concrete behaves the way it does, what can make it change, and  what we need to know to be sure it’s doing the thing we want it to do!

As part of the commitment of CCAA to developing the technical capability within the Australian cement and concrete industry, we have partnered with the Concrete Institute of Australia to bring Professor Ken Hover to Australia for a one-day seminar series. 

This workshop is designed to provide designers, practitioners, suppliers and contractors of all levels of experience with a better understanding of concrete and the materials used to make it from its most early stages, which are its most formative and important times of its life. It will also explore how concrete should best be specified and what the most important aspects are to test for long term performance reliability. 

Professor Ken Hover from the Cornell University, USA will be the workshops main presenter. Professor Hover is recognised as one of the most influential people in the concrete industry and few have explained as much about concrete to so many with as much clarity. Amongst many other accolades, Professor Hover has been the top ranked technical speaker at World of Concrete for the last 22 years, and was recognised by Concrete Construction Magazine as one of the 10 “Most Influential Persons in the Concrete Industry”. 


The workshop will also include Mr Des Chalmers (Cement and Fly Ash Advisory) one of Australia’s most experienced practitioners in this field. Des will relate how international and local work in this area is being, and will be transferred to designers and specifiers. The event is targeted specifically at any one in the concrete construction industry who may use, produce, place, finish, specify, approve or design concrete. 

The workshops are arranged for June and July this year as follows: 
27th June 2016 – Sydney 
29th June 2016 – Canberra 
1st July 2016 – Perth

This represents an excellent and unique opportunity to advance the understanding of concrete and its constituent materials within the Australian construction industry. To this end, member attendance fees are available for employees of CCAA member companies. Therefore you are urged to encourage your colleagues, both in your company, and those of customer companies to register and attend the event in your nearest venue. 

This seminar is aimed at those at the beginning of their career in concrete and cement, but it would be equally useful for those who have joined the industry of recent times, as well as those involved in setting and monitoring specifications.
