How to Design and Specify Sustainable Concrete Mixtures

Speaker - Tyler Ley, PhD, PE

Civil Engineering Professor at Oklahoma State University

*Eligible for 1 PDH credit and 1 CCM renewal point*

 

This presentation will provide a simple framework to quantify the sustainability of concrete mixtures.  Next, the presentation will show how these mixtures can be designed and implemented in practice by properly grading your aggregates, increasing your supplementary cementitious materials, and finally it will discuss new technologies that are used to reduce the greenhouse gases in concrete.  Tools will be provided for engineers and producers to use to quantify the sustainability of their mixtures and recommendations will be made on how to use these tools.  This will be a very practical seminar that will provide tools that are immediately useful.

 

About the Speaker

Mr. Ley has​ more than 20 years of experience in the fields of structural and concrete materials engineering.  During this time he has worked as an engineer with a design consultant, construction contractor, government agency, and as a professor.  This practical experience has made him a better teacher and researcher. 

He enjoys teaching.  Some of the awards that he has received include: the Halliburton Excellent Young Teaching Award in 2011, the Williams Foundation Professor in 2013 for the College of Engineering, the ACI Walter P. Moore Faculty Achievement Award in 2014, the Researcher of the Year Award from the College of Engineering in 2014, Halliburton Excellent Young Professor in 2014, the OSU Regents Research Award in 2014, and the ACPA Martin J. Knutson Award in 2017 and he was named the outstanding professor at a research university by the Oklahoma Foundation of Excellence in 2018.  Tyler was named one of the Most Influential People in the Concrete Industry by Concrete Construction Magazine in 2019.   

In the last 12 years at Oklahoma State University he has received over $9.1M as PI and $4.7M.  This includes the NSF Career Award in 2012 and three FHWA Exploratory Advanced Research Grants.  Tyler has received funding from industry, state, private, and federal sources.  Several of his projects have created innovative products that have led to patent applications and changes in National Codes and Standards.  
Mr. Ley is very active in the American Concrete Institute where he is a voting member of the Concrete Durability, Material Science, Concrete Proportioning, and Sustainability Technical committees.  In addition, he serves on the executive committee of the National Concrete Consortium, a group made up of DOT engineers from 35 different states.  He also served as the president of the American Ceramics Society Cements Division in 2016.  He has a passion for creating innovative learning content.  His websites are visited by over 50,000 people per year and his education content on YouTube has been watched over 5 million times.
