MCC Webinar: Designing Concrete for Durability: From Materials Selection to Long-Term Performance

Drawing on decades of research and field experience, the session will highlight the role of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), proper curing, and performance-based specifications in producing durable, resilient concrete. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of why prescriptive requirements often fall short and how durability-focused approaches can lead to longer service life, reduced maintenance, and improved sustainability in concrete infrastructure.

The presenter will be Dr. Doug Hooton, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto – Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering.
