The morning sessions saw Peter Carson (Carson Group) deliver a Holbrook Case Study on Concrete Overlay Performance , followed by Mohammed Ibrahim Mostazid (UNSW) walking us through Developing Accelerated Tests Criteria for Assessing Geopolymer Concrete Durability. After morning tea, Frank Grech (Kaysand) presented  ‘Engineering the best sustainable concrete sand". Next,...

Summary Base thickness design – challenging Optimum steel depth – for thicker slabs, longitudinal steel needs to be above the mid-depth; otherwise, there could be horizontal cracking and distresses. Primary cause for distresses at TCJs is poor consolidation of concrete – no need for additional steel.
