The American Concrete Institute has announced a partnership between its ACI Foundation and the Charles Pankow Foundation for the purpose of delivering innovative, commercially viable applications for the design and construction of concrete buildings.
Under the terms, the ACI Foundation’s Concrete Research Council, with input from its Strategic Development Council, will help identify the research needs of the industry and will recommend qualified research projects to the Charles Pankow Foundation for possible selection, funding and management.
When research projects are completed, the ACI Foundation will work to disseminate the results to the marketplace through printed and electronic means, plus possible inclusion in ACI reports, guides, specifications, and codes. The ACI Foundation and the Charles Pankow Foundation are currently accepting research proposals for possible funding under the new agreement.
