Engineers, consultants, company owners, concrete producers and contractors can learn about effective ways to manage cracks and mitigate shrinkage in a World of Concrete presentation entitled: Innovations in Concrete: Crack Reduction & 3D Printing of Construction Materials.
Attendees will learn about the industrialization of the 3D printing process for construction materials and see case study project examples where shrinkage reducing / compensating admixtures were successfully utilized.
The hour-and-a-half long seminars held during World of Concrete are crash courses, in business, the basics of concrete (for entry level personnel) and in topics like engineering, masonry, residential construction, safety and risk management and technical updates.
Among the exhibitions in the World of World of Concrete New Product Zone will be some that are a bit larger than what you normally see at trade shows. In the Material Handling area in the Central Hall, for instance, attendees will get a close look at trucks and excavators used for material delivery, distribution, concrete placement, and earth moving. More large equipment used in surface preparation, scarifying, grinding, sawing and demolition will be found in the Concrete Repair & Demolition that will be housed in the South Hall.
Mixing concrete in order to understand how materials and their proportions influence the properties of concrete is an example of the hands-on training that will be offered at WOW, held Jan. 23-26 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Concrete professionals, builders, architects and others will see how decorative concrete can be used in retail space in an enormous exhibit at World of Concrete called Decorative Concrete LIVE!
