The first in-person National Concrete Consortium (NCĀ²) meeting since COVID = professional engineers from agencies, industry, and academia brainstorming together to solve real-world concrete paving challenges.
What concrete paving questions will YOU ask at NCĀ²?

Can you tell which SEM pic is harvested vs. freshly produced fly ash? š¤
There's a reason. . . .
Harvested fly ash has been demonstrated to match the chemical and physical properties of freshly produced fly ashš®

Is your agency maximizing pavement condition AND minimizing life-cycle costs by taking advantage of not only āADDITIONā (i.e., overlay) but also āSUBTRACTIONā(i.e., diamond grinding/NGCS) concrete pavement preservation strategies?

Has YOUR state tested internal curing to reduce bridge deck cracking?
When lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) serves as a reservoir for prolonged hydration, no increased w/cm ratio is usually required to reduce differential volume change during hydrationšš§š

As virgin resources have decreased, quality aggregate demand has increased
=
Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is good not only for sustainability but also for agencies' bottom line
Please share money-saving RCA project pics š®

Most quotable quote on the CP-Tech-Center-organized 2021 Iowa Better Concrete Conference: "I got more done here in one day than in a normal week because everyone is here" (@mulder4cy).
The BEST concrete comes from agency, academia, association, and industry give-and-take!

For any given concrete mixture, how do you decide how much vibration is too much, too little, or just right?
What pic would you recommend for training new concrete paving crew members about the importance of not overvibrating or undervibrating fresh concrete?
