Do fibers in concrete really work? Concrete expert Tyler Ley, PE, PhD, puts fiber reinforced concrete to the test! In this video, he explains how plastic (macrosynthetic) and steel fibers impact concrete performance, reducing cracking and affecting surface finish. Curious about how this underutilized technology can improve your projects? Watch the video for practical tips and easy-to-implement recommendations. https://lnkd.in/gxmUsqzY

Why does freezing damage #concrete? Tyler Ley, civil engineering professor & founder of Concrete Freaks, explains the mechanisms of freeze-thaw damage within concrete. If you have 13 minutes to spare, he talks about the different pores within concrete, how they fill at different moisture contents & how the water in those pores respond to freezing. https://ow.ly/o19r50SPvy9

Thanks for sharing Carolinas Ready Mixed Concrete Association!
The water-to-cement ratio (w/cm) has widely been known as the most important parameter in concrete with no established procedure to measure it. Tyler Ley, civil engineering professor, founder of Concrete Freaks and past CRMCA Speaker, introduces a practical tool called the Phoenix that can be used in either the lab or the field to measure the w/cm in 15 minutes. The tool can also be used to measure the moisture content of aggregates. https://lnkd.in/eJmNpPbV

Champions of Concrete: Revolutionizing Your Workflow Why wait weeks for freeze/thaw test results when you can ensure concrete quality in just 15 minutes? Join John Filiberto from All Island Testing Associates in New York as he shares his experience with the Super Air Meter. Discover how spending a little more time upfront can save you stress, time, and money in the long run. Test while the concrete is still in the plastic stage and ensure quality from the start. To learn more about the SAM, please visit https://lnkd.in/g4YHye6P Have you used a Super Air Meter on a recent concrete project? Would you like to share your experience? Become a Champion of Concrete, and let us share your thoughts on the SAM. If interested, comment #ChampionofConcrete below.
