Description

Pour strips are designed to control shrinkage, creep and elastic shortening in post-tensioned and cast-in-place concrete but they add extra costs, construction delays, and safety issues. Engineers can reduce these problems, provide for higher quality, and increase productivity by being mindful of forming, shoring, reshoring, and back shoring when designing pour strips.
In this presentation, we will discuss best practices for designing pour strips in post-tensioned and cast-in-place concrete. We will demonstrate how pour strip placement and design can be done to reduce costs, accelerate construction, and improve safety, which increases overall project productivity. We will also discuss different products on the market that eliminate pour strips, including lockable dowels and mechanical reinforcement splice systems that allow for temporary movement.

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
