ACI funds 10 diverse projects to further concrete sustainability

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) Foundation’s Concrete Research Council (CRC) bestowed grants to 10 initiatives aimed at furthering the expertise and sustainability of concrete components, building, and buildings.

The following study initiatives will get funding from the ACI Basis, and were being awarded primarily based on impact to sector, ACI Committee engagement, and collaboration with other funders and companies:
