The Quantifiable Advantages of Concrete Parking Lots
 

Designing & Specifying Pervious Concrete

 

Since 1930, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) has provided ready mixed concrete producers and the construction industry with accurate information and cutting-edge research and development support for the realization of concrete’s ever-advancing capabilities. In 2003, NRMCA created the Concrete Resource Team to directly support users of concrete by helping to implement a variety of innovative, sustainable solutions, including the utilization of concrete to gain LEED certification and assistance in developing pervious concrete stormwater mitigation systems.

 

This “live” Webinar series extends this support through a convenient and effective online format. Presenters are Concrete Resource Team members, each with a very strong knowledge of concrete and an average of more than 20 years of construction industry experience. They also have direct access to an extensive network of technical experts that can be tapped to answer questions that might arise during Webinars or follow-up discussions.

 

All NRMCA Webinars are registered with AIA and earn

Professional Development Hours for participants.

Webinar Description:

 

The American Concrete Institute and Asphalt Institute each publish comprehensive recommendations for proper design elements and placement of the respective paving materials. Utilizing these specific guidelines, a direct comparison can be made of these parameters for a given project to provide specifiers and owners with information needed to make sound parking lot pavement decisions.

 

In this Webinar, NRMCA’s Concrete Pavement Analyst (CPA) software is used to demonstrate the impact of choices made regarding common options and scenarios for parking lot projects. The software makes concrete and asphalt comparisons easy by producing reports based on the input of price, material parameters, design and other variables specific to a project. With the assistance of the software tool, reflecting best recommended design practices, the Webinar explains short and long-term implications of the decision to use either asphalt or concrete. A free copy of the CPA software is provided to all Webinar participants.

 

Program elements include:

• In-depth explanation of the differences between concrete and asphalt parking areas, including design, construction and maintenance requirements.
   

• Step-by-step instruction of how to use CPA to produce detailed life-cycle cost comparisons of concrete and equivalent asphalt pavement designs.
   

• Local customizing tips for the software.

Architects and engineers earn one Professional Development Hour upon completion of this program. This seminar is registered with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems.

Webinar Description:

 

This two-part Webinar provides an overview on implementing pervious concrete pavements as a solution to reducing stormwater runoff from building sites and other paved areas. Participants will learn about pervious concrete pavement systems, engineering properties and construction techniques. Part 1 discusses hydrologic and structural design of pervious concrete pavements. Part 2 addresses the specifics that every specifier should consider when drafting pervious concrete specifications, with a focus on American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 522 Guide to Specification for Pervious Concrete. This Webinar will help civil engineers, architects, landscape architects and public works officials understand the principles behind pervious concrete design. Contractors, product suppliers and land developers will also benefit from this Webinar.
