123 Forum: Do Building Codes and Standards Support Sustainable Development? (ACI Fall 2022, Dallas, TX) Cement is typically the largest individual contribution to the embodied global warming potential (CO2-equivalent) of a concrete mixture. The cement industry has developed roadmaps to reaching carbon neutral concrete by mid-century, both for the US and globally. This presentation will identify how cement and cementitious materials are expected to evolve in the roadmaps and discuss how effective updates to codes and standards can help to accelerate the achievement of carbon neutral concrete.

International Session - Always Advancing Technology (ACI Fall 2022, Dallas, TX) In this session, we will discuss iconic buildings that are unique in their design and/or construction techniques. The design and construction of buildings is challenging; designing and constructing buildings with special designs adds even more challenges. We will talk about those challenges and how the project team overcame them. The discussion will include the project structure and the framework within which the development was accomplished. The session will include different levels of design, materials, and construction.
