C09 Committee Chairman Addresses University of Illinois Engineering Class

On Jan. 24, Anthony Fiorato, Ph.D., former chairman of the ASTM International board of directors and current chairman of ASTM International Committee C09 on Concrete and Concrete Aggregates, spoke to a group of students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign during a construction materials deterioration course. The graduate level course in civil and environmental engineering covers the corrosion of steel and the deterioration of concrete and organic polymers.

Fiorato shared his insights with the group about the importance of codes and standards learned during his career, which has spanned more than 35 years. Fiorato has lectured and published extensively, and his contributions have been recognized through numerous professional awards. Professor Leslie Struble, Ph.D., who teaches the course, is also active in the work of ASTM technical committees covering cement and concrete.
