SUMMARY:Concrete Learning Forum: From the Ground Up – Benefits of Horizontal & Vertical Concrete Applications - July 14\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\n\nThis Concrete Learning Forum explores the performance\, durability\, and design advantages of concrete in both horizontal and vertical applications. From pavements and slabs to walls and structural systems\, concrete plays a critical role in creating resilient\, efficient\, and long-lasting built environments. Attendees will gain insight into material selection\, design considerations\, and construction best practices that influence performance across applications. The program will also highlight how integrating horizontal and vertical systems can improve project outcomes\, enhance sustainability\, and support lifecycle value in a wide range of building and infrastructure projects.\n\nEducational Schedule\n\n1:00 1:30 PM\n\nRegistration & Networking\n\n1:30 1:40 PM\n\nWelcome & Program Overview\n\n1:40 2:20 PM\n\nHorizontal Concrete Applications: Performance & Durability\n\n-Pavements\, slabs-on-grade\, and exterior flatwork\n\n-Load distribution\, wear resistance\, and maintenance considerations\n\n-Design strategies for longevity and resilience\n\n2:20 3:00 PM\n\nVertical Concrete Applications: Structural & Envelope Systems\n\n-Walls\, tilt-up systems\, and structural components\n\n-Strength\, fire resistance\, and safety considerations\n\n-Integration with building envelopes\n\n3:00 3:10 PM\n\nBreak\n\n3:10 3:50 PM\n\nMaterial Selection & Constructability\n\n-Mix design considerations for different applications\n\n-Coordination between design teams and producers\n\n-Constructability challenges and solutions\n\n\n\n3:50 4:20 PM\n\nCase Studies: Integrated Concrete Solutions\n\n-Real-world examples combining horizontal and vertical systems\n\n-Lessons learned and performance outcomes\n\n4:20 4:30 PM\n\nClosing Remarks & Key Takeaways\n\n4:30 5:30 PM\n\nNetworking Reception\n\n\n\n \n\nAIA Learning Objectives (HSW Eligible)\n\n-Identify key differences in design and performance requirements between horizontal and vertical concrete applications.\n\n-Explain how concrete contributes to structural integrity\, fire resistance\, durability\, and occupant safety in a variety of building systems.\n\n-Evaluate material selection and mix design strategies that optimize performance for specific applications and environmental conditions.\n\n-Analyze case studies to determine best practices for integrating horizontal and vertical concrete systems to improve project efficiency\, resilience\, and lifecycle value.
