Watch the webinar recording with Jason Nairn (CCAA), Bruce Perry (Cement Australia), David Kelly (Transport for NSW) and Robert Sobyra (Australian Constructors Association).

Specifications ensure concrete structures meet design and service life requirements.

Traditional concrete specifications prescriptively define the minimum cement content and maximum water-to-cement ratio for service life durability. But while this paradigm is simple and broadly accepted, it’s also rigid and has its drawbacks.

By contrast, new performance-based specifications can progress the development and use of innovative and sustainable concrete technologies.

Hear these four industry experts share their insights and discuss the possibilities of moving from prescriptive to performance-based specifications.
