The Chester Paul Siess Award for Excellence in Structural Research is given to the author or authors of a peer-reviewed paper published by the Institute that describes a notable achievement in experimental or analytical research that advances the theory or practice of structural engineering and, most importantly, recommends how the research can be applied to design. At least one of the recipients must be a member of the Institute. The award need not be presented each year.

Prior to 2004, this award was named the ACI Structural Research Award and before 1991, this award was named the Raymond C. Reese Structural Research Award. Through 1997, the award was given for a paper published by the Institute describing a notable achievement in research related to structural engineering and indicating how the research could be used.

Wason Medal for Materials Research  

The Wason Medal for Materials Research was founded in 1917 by Leonard C. Wason, past president of ACI. It may be bestowed annually, but not necessarily each year, on a member or members of the Institute reporting, in a peer-reviewed paper published by the Institute, original research work on concrete materials and their use, or a discovery that advances the state of knowledge of materials used in the construction industry. This award is restricted to members of the Institute, although all authors are eligible if any author is an ACI member. Prior to 1971, this medal was awarded to research papers dealing with any phase of Institute interests. The medal is bronze.

PERSONAL AWARDS


ACI Certification Award  

The ACI Certification Award was established in 2004 to recognize individuals and organizations who have made notable contributions to the advancement of ACI Certification. Notable contributions may be but are not limited to: involvement in the general areas of developing, maintaining, delivering, promoting, specifying, or enforcing requirements for ACI Certification programs. Nominees need not be ACI members.

The Award, which is the form of a plaque, may be presented to more than one individual or organization per year to a maximum of three (3) recipients, however, the Award need not be presented each year. If an organization is identified as an Award recipient, an appropriate representative will be identified to receive the Award on behalf of the organization.

Nominations may be made by any individual or organization affiliated with ACI or ACI Certification at any level, including ACI Committees, ACI Chapters, Local Sponsoring Group Contacts, or ACI Staff, and must be submitted to ACI Headquarters on the ACI Certification Award nomination form. Self-nominations will not be considered.

Delmar L. Bloem
Distinguished Service Award  

The Institute established a Distinguished Service Award in 1969 to recognize noteworthy work on ACI technical committees. The name of the award was changed to the Delmar L. Bloem Distinguished Service Award in 1972 in honor of the late Delmar Bloem who had demonstrated, over a period of many years, the characteristics and dedication required for the award. The award is given to a current (or recent) chair of a technical committee, or under special circumstances, to deserving individuals other than committee chairs, in recognition of outstanding performance.

One award may be given each year; however, there may be none or more than one recipient in any particular year.

ACI Commemorative Lecture Series  

The R. E. Davis Lecture Series began in 1972 and was replaced by the Phil M. Ferguson Lecture Series in 1987. The ACI Commemorative Lecture Series replaced the expired Phil M. Ferguson Lecture Series in the fall of 1998. The lectures are funded through ACI's General Accounts.

The ACI Commemorative Lecture Series was established on a multi-year cycle to commemorate prominent deceased members. Each year, a speaker is selected by a board committee appointed by ACI's president, with the lecture being presented at the following fall convention. The first Commemorative Lecture Series (1998-2000) was in honor of George Winter. The second Commemorative Lecture Series (2001-2005) was in honor of Lewis H. Tuthill. The Third Commemorative Lecture Series is in honor of Hardy Cross.

The lecture subjects are chosen by the speaker and can relate to the entire range of Institute interest. The only qualification requirement for a speaker is that he or she is outstanding in the concrete field. An appropriate plaque is given to each speaker as a memento.
