In this QuickChat, Gavin Jenkins, Senior Managing Editor of Roads and Bridges, speaks with Susan Foster, Director, Strategic Initiatives & Komponent at CTS Cement, about the benefits of shrinkage compensating concrete. Foster shares insights on how Type K concrete improves dimensional stability and durability, lowers permeability, and improves structural behavior in structures like bridge designs, pavements, containment tanks, and extended joint slabs.
This conversation highlights how shrinkage-compensating concrete addresses industry challenges such as drying shrinkage, curling and warping, permeability and chemical attacks, and how it optimizes sustainable concrete design. Foster also discusses the material's role in reducing repairs and extending the lifecycle of infrastructure.
