SUMMARY:Why "Meets Design" Doesn't Always Stop Slab Cracking & Joint Spalling with Robert Rodden - Zoom Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Many concrete slabs are still designed using outdated methods that focus on load capacity while overlooking the factors that most often cause cracking and joint spalling\, including slab curling\, load transfer\, and subgrade support. This webinar explains why that gap exists and introduces a modern\, predictive modeling approach that more accurately reflects real-world slab performance. Through comparisons with traditional methods\, including ACI 360\, attendees will learn how better design analysis can improve reliability\, reduce liability\, and identify more cost-effective solutions.\n\nLearning Objectives\n    - Understand the primary causes of slab cracking and joint spalling\, including curling\, joint load transfer\, and subgrade support.\n    - Compare predictive modeling with traditional design methods\, including ACI 360\, and recognize the limitations of conventional approaches.\n    - Learn how modern analysis tools can evaluate slab performance in seconds and support design-build solutions.\n    - Gain practical strategies for discussing slab design\, reliability\, and risk with owners\, designers\, and project teams.\nZOOM link
