Concrete Research Council

The mission of the ACI Foundation's Concrete Research Council (CRC) is to advance the knowledge and sustainable aspects of concrete materials, construction and structures by soliciting and selecting research proposals, assisting in financing them, guiding the research and publishing the results, in coordination with the ACI technical committees where possible.

For a detailed description of what CRC is, how it operates, and how it applies to you; view the documents under the General Information section.

Questions and comments should be directed to the CRC Staff Liaison, Tricia Ladely at tricia.ladely@concrete.org.
