The Undergraduate Research Session was held on Monday, March 25, 2019 during The Concrete Convention & Exposition in Quebec City, QC, Canada. The research session is sponsored by ACI Committee S805: Collegiate Concrete Council, a student-led committee whose mission is to advise ACI on the needs of students worldwide with an interest in concrete and to prepare them to become professional members after graduation. Undergraduate students were invited to submit an abstract describing their concrete related research on concrete materials, structural design, construction, or other concrete related issues.
