CONCRETE IN PRACTICE
Created to help better the ready mixed concrete industry is a series of 43 one-page information sheets on important technical topics, written in an easy to understand “What, Why and How?” format called Concrete In Practice (CIP’s). The CIP’s are a courtesy of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, located in Silver Spring, Maryland. To purchase them individual CIP’s or an entire series click here, email publications@nrmca.org, or call 888-846-7622 x1165.
