FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The latest offering from CIRIA’s extensive forthcoming programme of practical training courses includes the chance for attendees to see up-close, the Tate Modern’s Doris Salcedo Shibboleth - a subterranean chasm that stretches the length of the Turbine Hall.
The one-day course, Early-age thermal crack control in concrete, will present the method of design for early-age thermal cracking according to EN1992-1 and EN1992-1-1, which will replace the method of BS8007.
Important changes and implications will be highlighted and the issues facing designers and constructors will be discussed and practical examples will be used to illustrate the points being made.
The training event includes free copies of CIRIA’s newly updated Early-age thermal crack control in concrete (C660) and the accompanying CD, with an optional visit to the Tate Modern to conclude the course.
This event takes place 24 March 2008 in London. For further information and to book your place, visit www.ciriatraining.com, or contact CIRIA, Classic House, 174-180 Old Street, London EC1V 9BP. (T) 020 7549 3300; (E) enquiries@ciria.org
