Air-Entrained Concrete

Polished section of air-entrained concrete as seen through a microscopeOne of the greatest advances in concrete technology was the development of air-entrained concrete in the 1930s. Today air entrainment is recommended for nearly all concretes, principally to improve freeze-thaw resistance when exposed to water and deicing chemicals. However, there are other important benefits of entrained air in both freshly mixed and hardened concrete. This webinar will discuss air-entrained concrete.

At the end of this course, participants will have the ability to:

• recognize the properties of air-entrained concrete
• identify recommended air contents and tests
• discuss the factors that affect air content

Upon completion of the webinar, registered participants will be emailed a copy of the presentation slides, a certificate for 0.1 CEU credit, and a PDF of “Air-Entrained Concrete”, Chapter 8 of PCA’s Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, 14th edition, EB001

The cost of this one-hour Webinar is $60.
$30 for PCA members; government officials (.gov); students and educators(.edu).
