Presented by: Richard S Szecsy, PhD, PE, FACI

As the need and demand for more sustainable materials and construction methods increase, a gap conflict is growing. The traditional concrete design methodologies that have been used for almost a century, are now in a situation where they are being challenged by the new demands within the marketplace. This has created a conflict with the concrete design, supply, and contracting community. This presentation will explore those conflicts, the challenges and some solutions.
