SUMMARY:CONCRETEClass 2.1: From Raw Materials to Performance - Revisiting the Fundamentals of Cement Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:This presentation takes a step back to revisit the fundamentals of cement manufacturing—principles we often move away from with experience. It will follow a cradle-to-grave approach\, starting at the quarry through clinker production\, to how cement is ultimately produced\, including an overview of cement types in accordance with SANS 50197 and their performance characteristics. It will highlight how these fundamentals directly influence cement behaviour in practice\, helping attendees better understand and interpret what they see on site or in the lab\, with practical insights that connect theory to everyday decision-making. \nRequirements for attending this class:\n– Basic knowledge of the constituents of concrete\n– Basic mathematics\, no more than Matric Level \nPresenter: Dr. Grizelda du Toit\, AfriSam \nDr. Grizelda du Toit currently holds the position of Product Manager – Cementitious at AfriSam\, with over a decade of experience in the cement and construction materials industry. Her career has progressed from laboratory-based roles into technical product management\, giving her a strong foundation across product development and innovation\, and customer-focused technical support and solutions. \nDate: Thursday\, 07 May 2026\nTime: 15:00 – 16:00 \nECSA CPD accreditation applied for\nOnly CSSA Members qualify to receive ECSACPD points.

SUMMARY:CONCRETEFiX 6.3 - Shotcrete for Repair\, Rehabilitation and Re-purposing
DESCRIPTION:By Charles Hanskat\, P.E.\, Executive Director\, Technical Director\, American Shotcrete Association \nThis presentation will provide the owner\, design engineer\, project specifier\, field inspector\, specialty subcontractors\, and general contractors with an overview of how shotcrete can be efficiently and cost-effectively utilized for the structural repair\, rehabilitation\, and re-purposing of concrete buildings and infrastructure. We will provide a basic overview of the shotcrete process\, covering the design\, specifying\, and detailing considerations for the design of shotcrete repairs.\nNext\, we will cover field considerations\, including reduced formwork needs and scheduling advantages. We will also discuss achieving quality shotcrete placement\, addressing field inspection\, shooting techniques\, shotcreter and inspector certifications\, and contractor qualifications. We will conclude with a list of relevant references and resources on the use of shotcrete for structural concrete repair. \nDATE: Thursday\, 21 May 2026\nvia Microsoft Teams @ 15:00\nAttendance Free \nECSA CPD accreditation applied for\nOnly CSSA Members qualify to receive ECSA CPD points.
