ASTM International Sponsoring Workshop on Sustainability for Cement, Concrete

ASTM International has scheduled a workshop for June 14, 2011, in Anaheim, Calif., to look at the implications of ASTM E60 standards on sustainability for cement and concrete. The workshop is sponsored by ASTM Committee C01 on Cement, and is being held in conjunction with the June standards development meetings of the committee.

According to ASTM, Committee E60 on Sustainability has adopted standards that could have implications for cement and concrete-based building materials, including ASTM E1991, Standard Guide for Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Building Products, and ASTM E2129, Standard Practice for Data Collection for Sustainability Assessment of Building Products. 

The workshop will introduce the concepts and terminology used in E60 standards to the cement and concrete standards development communities and facilitate collaborative efforts to provide E60 with the technical expertise of these communities regarding the manufacture of cement and concrete-based building products.
Online registration opens about eight weeks before the workshop and closes June 8. There is no fee to attend the workshop. For more information, visit www.astm.org/c01work0611.htm.
