ASTM Committee C09 on Concrete and Concrete Aggregates will present Workshop on Next Generation Cements and SCMs: Towards Specification on June 9 in conjunction with standards development meetings in Philadelphia. Workshop organizers cite the rise of new concrete binding agents, often from start-up operators, that do not fall under existing specifications. The event will assemble producers, customers, agencies, and researchers with an eye to action moving new cements and supplementary cementitious materials toward specifications. Target topics include reactivity, standards, testing, data, product scaling, performance and durability. Additional information is available from workshop technical co-chairs Prannoy Suraneni, [email protected], and Anita Vuchkovska, [email protected]. Registration (free of charge to ASTM members, $115 for nonmembers) can be obtained here.
