Placement of Concrete in Cold Weather
Eleuterio Fuentes, P.E.
Overview

course discusses considerations when placing concrete in cold weather. The
placement of durable, quality concrete is a task that requires experience and a

mitigate potential problems. This course will discuss placement methods
that you can employ in cold weather to help ensure that your final product meets
specifications.
