Industry OrganizationsAmerican Concrete Institute (ACI) The
American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a nonprofit technical and educational society
organized in 1904 and is one of the world's leading authorities on concrete technology.
ACI is a forum for the discussion of all matters related to concrete and the development
of solutions to problems. ACI conducts this forum through conventions and meetings;
the ACI Structural Journal, the ACI Materials Journal, Concrete International,
and technical publications; chapter activities; and technical committee work.
As its chartered objective states, its purpose is "to provide a comradeship
in finding the best ways to do concrete work of all kinds and in spreading that
knowledge."
This implies a willingness on the part of each member to contribute
from his or her training and knowledge to the benefit of the public at large.
By maintaining a high standard of professional and technical ability in its committee
memberships and in the authorship of papers and publications, as well as in local
chapter programs, ACI has contributed to a detailed knowledge of materials and
their resulting structures. ACI publishes reliable information on concrete
and its applications, conducts educational seminars, provides a standard certification
program for the industry, provides local forums for discussion through the Chapter
program, and encourages student involvement in the concrete field. Committee members
involved with these activities meet at bi-annual conventions. For more information
