Short Course 3 - Silica vs Silicate, How to tell the Difference. Length of Time: 60 min QnA: 20 min Abstract: This lecture, dives into the critical distinctions between silica and silicate in the realm of concrete technology. Focusing on colloidal silica, the session explores its unique properties, the standard the draws the line in the sand, and measurable benefits for enhancing concrete performance. By addressing key standards such as WK 60809 and the Specification for Colloidal Silica for Use in Concrete, this presentation demystifies the role of colloidal silica in concrete mix design, offering insights into engineering considerations and performance outcomes. Targeted at concrete professionals, engineers, and researchers, this lecture will provide actionable knowledge to advance the understanding and application of these transformative materials in modern concrete practice. Description: Join industry expert Jon Belkowitz from Intelligent Concrete to uncover the fundamental differences between silica and silicate in concrete sciences. This engaging lecture will focus on colloidal silica and silicates breaking down their properties, characteristics, and its relevance across diverse applications in the concrete industry. Highlighting key specifications like WK 60809 and related standards, Jon will guide the audience through engineering considerations for the integration of colloidal silica, including its performance benefits in concrete formulations. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how colloidal silica can optimize concrete designs and improve outcomes across field projects.

Colloidal silica fun fact... Did you know that using colloidal silica in concrete production can significantly reduce CO2 emissions? By enhancing the properties of concrete, colloidal silica allows for less cement usage, which is a major source of carbon dioxide. This makes it an eco-friendly solution for sustainable construction! 🌍🏗️ Check out https://lnkd.in/e97RCap for more information about colloidal silica in concrete. And tune in tomorrow at 1030AM ET right here on #linkedin for a coffee talk on the topic! #concrete #construction #constructionindustry #concreteindustry #concreteconstruction #civil #civilstructure #civilengineers #engineers #engineer #engineering #innovation
