ASTM International to Host Symposium on Cement and Concrete in Additive Construction

The objective of the symposium is to present potential test methods for additive construction which may be standardized through ASTM’s standards development process.

W. CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Nov. 2, 2020 — The ASTM International committees on cement (C01) and concrete and concrete aggregates (C09) are sponsoring a virtual Symposium on Standards Development for Cement and Concrete for Use in Additive Construction, December 7 - 8, 2020, to be held via WebEx.


The objective of the symposium is to present potential test methods for additive construction which may be standardized through ASTM's standards development process.

Topics for the symposium include:
• Measurements of early-age material properties (prior to initial setting),
• Measurements of hardened material properties, and
• Measurements of structural performance.

Online registration is now open. For more information or to register for the event, visit http://www.astm.org/CementDec2020Reg.

Additional technical information is available from symposium chair Scott Jones (scott.jones@nist.gov) or co-chair Eric Kreiger (Eric.L.Kreiger@usace.army.mil).

ResinDek® TRIGARD® ESD ULTRA FOR HIGH-TRAFFIC ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS

ResinDek® TRIGARD® ESD ULTRA FOR HIGH-TRAFFIC ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS

To maximize the productivity of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) deployment, it's critical to create the optimal environment that allows the vehicles to perform at their peak. For that reason, Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products, LLC® (www.resindek.com) created the TriGard® ESD Ultra finish for its ResinDek® engineered flooring panels. The TriGard ESD Ultra finish is ideal for high-traffic robotic applications characterized by highly repetitive movement patterns and defined travel paths.
