Description
The Concrete Research Council (CRC) of the American Concrete Institute Foundation funds research projects that enhance the understanding, innovation, and sustainability of concrete materials, construction methods, and structures. The program encourages the submission of project ideas, research needs, and problem statements from the global concrete community and supports a wide range of initiatives, including new technologies, code development, and industry challenges. Projects can vary in scope, from small, focused studies to large, multi-year efforts, and may address technical committee needs or broader industry gaps.
