This IStructE / Curtins / IHEEM workshop will cover the properties of RAAC, expert views on pragmatic solutions, and a live RAAC test

The session will be an opportunity to understand how the material performs in comparison to traditional concrete with an interactive display, following a short talk by Curtins’ experienced structural engineers.
 
Curtins have acted as one of the UK’s leading engineers on RAAC, carrying out surveys in over 100 schools in the past 6 months, as well as universities, hospitals and other public and private sector buildings. Their expertise has contributed to IStructE guidance, as well as collaborative research with the BRE, Loughborough University and Aintree and Airedale Hospitals.
 
Join us in the central atrium at the Leeds College of Building’s South Bank Campus for refreshments and introductory presentations, before breaking out into the College’s workshop spaces for live testing of RAAC samples
