Times are weird, guys. While there are a lot of jobsites still open, there are many that have been temporarily shut down during the coronavirus pandemic. If you need some resources for how your construction company should handle the pandemic, you can check out my resource guide by clicking or tapping here, but if you want to take your mind off of that and use some of your newly found free time, you can learn about concrete on YouTube from a college professor.
Tyler Ley, a college professor at Oklahoma State University, a former design consultant, a former construction contractor, and a self-proclaimed “concrete freak,” has been teaching online courses on YouTube about concrete for several years now. He’s a very passionate guy, exactly what you want in a concrete professor, and with over 250 videos about concrete, there’s a great chance he’ll have an answer to many of your concrete questions.
Tyler has organized his video library into 4 different playlists:
In this expansive list of videos, he covers topics like beam design, shear, fibers, types of rebar, case studies, cements, hydration, mixture designs, freeze thaw, cracking, and a tons of others.
In addition to the videos he’s already uploaded, Tyler will also be going live every Monday morning at 9:30AM CST on his YouTube channel for virtual “office hours,” so you can ask any of the burning questions that you might have.
I’ll let him do the rest of the explaining in the video below:
