Abstract:
Information technology has provided an opportunity to improve ways to transfer and store knowledge, yet a generally accepted framework involving more-automated exchanges and not been developed in the concrete industry. ACI Committee 235, Knowledge-Based Systems and Mathematical Modeling of Materials, sees the opportunity for the industry to establish a “virtual concrete community” that addresses the specific needs of the concrete industry and its customers, so that greater advances in understanding knowledge and improving practice can result.
