Early-Age Concrete Properties and their Effect on Shoring-Reshoring (Recorded Presentation)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Adi Abu Obada's presentation at Rutgers University focused on the importance of accurately assessing early age concrete properties, particularly the modulus of elasticity, for shoring and reshoring processes. He emphasized that guides often overlook these properties, yet they are crucial to preventing structural failures and deflections. Dr. Obada discussed the significance of considering the effects of curing methods and cementitious materials on concrete's modulus of elasticity and compressive strength. He recommended using the maturity method for assessing early age concrete properties and advocated for improved testing and guidelines to ensure structural safety.
