This programs is intended for contractors or job site foremen who use or require the use of rebar tying techniques for concrete construction. Rebar tying tools improve worker health, safety and welfare by eliminating repetitive wrist movement and awkward bending that can lead to injury and musculoskeletal disorders. Rebar tying tools also improve jobsite efficiency. This module will compare and contrast three different rebar tying tools and help you determine how a rebar tying tool can be used by your site crew to increase safety and efficiency. This program is intended for concrete construction professionals and does not offer education credit for AIA members. Take the course.

Concrete is an increasingly popular choice for its aesthetic qualities in design, especially in flooring. Beautiful exposed concrete floors are common in restaurants, display rooms, high-end retail stores, museums, universities, and even homes. With its many aesthetic options for color, texture and levels of shine, concrete adds an appeal that's both timeless and modern. Because concrete is first and foremost a structural material, it requires specific chemical treatments and mechanical processing to overcome its inherent limitations as a finished surface material. This program will discuss the role of densifiers and colloidal silica technology in terms of strengthening concrete, performance and application requirements for project longevity. Take the course.
