To support continuing education there are a wide variety of magazines, workshops, and conferences available. For this assignment, I want you to explore engineering magazines. Engineering magazines are put out by most of the professional organizations and they will cover a range of topics. You need to find an concrete-related article that interests you (as it relates to the course or it is of general interest). You will provide a full citation and 1-2 sentences of why you are choosing this article (please take some time to choose carefully so that your reasoning is not “it was the first article I found”). Example magazines include but are not limited to: Concrete International, Concrete Construction, Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering
