In this clip, Joe Shetterley makes the case that the concrete industry already has the science, technology, and experience to eliminate many of the issues still showing up in the field today. While some challenges like cracking may always be part of the material, Joe argues that many other failures should not still be happening at all.

What solves more concrete problems: proper mix design or curing? In this clip, Joe Shetterley challenges the industry’s assumptions and argues that when a mix is balanced correctly from the start, curing cannot fix what was already built wrong. Joe also explains why surface water does not solve internal problems and why temperature control may be a bigger part of the curing conversation than many realize.

Small does not mean weak. In this clip, Joe Shetterley uses a simple but powerful analogy to explain how nanosilica works in concrete. Just like a small tugboat can help move a massive cargo ship, nanosilica helps bring larger elements together by building nucleation sites and gel networks. Joe also makes an important point: not all nanosilicas or colloidal products on the market are actually designed for concrete performance.
