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.

Recipients given with year of award presented:

1929	S. C. Hollister	1953	Charles H. Scholer
1930	Harrison F. Gonnerman		Gerald M. Smith
	Paul M. Woodworth	1954	Phil M. Ferguson
1932	Morton O. Withey		J. Neils Thompson
