Hadi Rashidi with NSSGA has scheduled a webinar that will discuss our ASR work here in Pennsylvania and feature a presentation on the accuracy and precision of the existing ASR test methods by Dr. Leandro Sanchez with the University of Ottawa. Dr. Sanchez presented this information at last month's ASTM meetings.
The PennDOT/PACA ASR work group has seen some of these numbers before, however they are eye opening and shed light on the importance of the research we are undertaking on our Pennsylvania aggregates.
The information presented by Dr. Sanchez will be very valuable for those wishing to gain further understanding of the challenges facing producers and specifiers from specifications based upon the current test methods.
INFORMATION FROM NSSGA:
From Lab to Field: Enhancing ASR Test Reliability Through Research and Partnership
Monday, July 28
1:00 - 1:45 p.m. ET
Join us for a focused discussion on advancing Alkali-Silica Reactivity (ASR) testing methods to improve reliability, correlation and industry relevance.
Dr. Leandro Sanchez, Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa and Chair of ACI Committee 221 on Aggregates, will share insights into the precision and accuracy of current ASR test methods and their correlation with long-term field exposure blocks.
Jim Casilio, Director of Technical Services and Codes & Standards Policy at the Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association, will present on collaborative efforts between producers and academia to develop the next generation of ASR testing and increase test reliability.
This session is ideal for engineers, researchers and producers seeking a deeper understanding of ASR testing challenges and the path forward.
