The workshop will be offered on Monday, March 17, from 1:30 to 5:00 p.m., at the Hershey Lodge. Preregistration is required. Please see the Fee and Registration page for preconference fee information.
This year's preconference workshop is entitled, State-of-the-Art Technological Developments in Concrete, and will consist of three one-hour talks on the following topics:
* advances in structural concretes
* advances in concrete for blast protection
* nanotechnology applications in concrete
