This is a recorded webinar from June 6, 2023.

For many projects, increases to design concrete strength and schedule requirements for accelerated construction create a need for achieving strength at earlier ages. At the same time, many portions of concrete structures have also become larger to meet the demands of more advanced projects. Concrete hydration is exothermic, meaning it generates heat. Bigger elements with more cementitious materials mean more heat. This combination of conditions can create significant challenges during construction, including potentially affecting the structural integrity and creating durability issues if not addressed ahead of time. This webinar will cover recent changes to ACI PRC-207.1R-21 Mass Concrete – Guide, published in early 2022. The guide reflects the latest technical guidance on mass concrete knowledge and best practices. The guide includes numerous updates to help practically address common mass concrete issues. This webinar will also discuss the technical principles for these updates.

1. Identify the different roles and responsibilities regarding mass concrete on a project.
2. Describe recently updated guidance on the definition of mass concrete.
3. Implement mass concrete best practices to provide adequate thermal control mitigative measures during construction on a project.
4. List practical changes to concrete mixture design and specifications that will reduce the risk of durability-related issues while maintaining quality and constructability of work on a project.
