24th General Session Presentations
Oct. 9-10, 2008, Innisbrook Resort
& Golf Club, Palm Harbor, Florida
The principal focus of this SDC meeting was to present to SDC members:
-
The moving forward of SDC's Building
Information Modeling (BIM) initiative, with CRSI's Bob Risser
agreeing to champion the effort. During SDC #24, members
agreed to the approval of BIM as an "Industry Critical
Technology."
-
The discussion of SDC's Sustainability
Vision & Roadmap, and the direction it will take for the
rest of the concrete industry to use as it sees fit.
-
Updates on SDC's Self-Consolidating
Concrete Formwork Pressure research. The final report is
expected to be available by the end of this year.
