Tepke to speak at upcoming APWA NC Annual Conference

A number of emerging technologies and test methods are available to Engineers and Facility Managers for extending the service life of concrete structures in the conception/design phase. At the APWA NC Annual Conference, Dave Tepke, PE, will discuss common deterioration mechanisms, such as corrosion, alkali-silica reactivity and sulfate attack, and state of the art technologies and performance test methods for durable concrete design to combat these mechanisms. This will include additives that can be incorporated into the concrete to combat corrosion and other materials-related distress. Life-cycle analysis and service-life extension examples will be provided. Deterioration, assessment, repair and preservation techniques for existing structures will be briefly discussed to introduce the topic of durable design.
