SikaFiber-800 Stealth: The Superior Finishing Fiber for Slabs on Ground
When: March 2nd
Time: 2pm ET
Earn: Non-Credit
Description:
When is it great to have low memory? An important element to finish fiber-reinforced concrete is using external vibration. External vibration brings paste to the surface and buries fibers located at the slab surface. During troweling, if the fiber is stiff, the fiber can rebound out of the slab surface. SikaFiber®-800 Stealth has low memory and during troweling will stay bent in the concrete slab surface, which in turn limits fiber exposure for a smooth finish.
Designing with Architectural Concrete

Reducing Joints in Slabs on Ground
When: March 11th
Time: 2pm ET
Earn: 1 AIA Credit
Description:
Reducing the number of joints in a slab on ground can contribute to faster installation and longer-lasting concrete. The reduced number of joints also significantly reduces the cost associated with maintenance of the joints. The program will discuss, according to ACI, the stresses that should be considered in slab calculation and the advancements in concrete technology in the application. The presentation will explore different types of slab systems that are available in the marketplace. Each system has different pros and cons which will be discussed to develop an overall understanding of the arrangements.
