The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has pledged $360,000 to the ACI Foundation to help the latter fund research research in collaboration with the work of the institute's committees.
Ron Burg, executive vice president of ACI, says: “When coupled with funding from new and existing industry partners, the research projects to be funded are guaranteed to improve ACI’s technical knowledge and make our world stronger and safer.”
The institute's one-time contribution is part of a commitment made last year to increase its annual funding to the ACI Foundation by offering $500,000 of annual mission funding and covering all operational expenses.
