The revision to BS 8500 will be published in November 2023 and will include the introduction of lower carbon ternary (or multi-component) cements, CEM II/C-M and CEM VI.
This webinar discusses the main revisions to the standard and how the method of specification has changed to facilitate the wider range of lower carbon concretes that will be available.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A (with questions welcomed from the audience) answered by industry experts who can respond to queries on concrete and structural design.
