Webinar on Early-age cracking in concrete: Simplified testing method

Welcome to joining the YoungConc webinar on early-age concrete testing methods!
This webinar brings together researchers, industry experts, and practitioners to share insights on simplified and reliable methods for assessing the early-age properties of concrete.
The webinar will be held in English.

The purpose of the webinar is to:
Facilitate knowledge exchange between research and industry
Encourage discussions and potential improvements to existing testing methods

The webinar will cover three topics:
Topic 1: Heat evolution and activation energy 
Topic 2: Setting time, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity
Topic 3: Free deformation at an early age

We look forward to your participation and a fruitful dialogue on how these methods can support more robust and efficient concrete construction.
