The ACI Foundation’s Concrete Research Council (CRC) selected 11 research projects to receive grants this year. The CRC seeks concrete research projects that further the knowledge and sustainability of concrete materials, construction, and structures in coordination with ACI Technical Committees. The following research projects will receive funding from the ACI Foundation and were awarded based on relevancy and potential impact of the research, supplemental support for the project such as collaboration with other funders and organizations, overall proposal quality, researcher capability and ACI Technical Committee engagement. Alternative End-Specimen Conditions to Characterize Compressive Strength of Ultra-High-Performance Concretes PI: Kinsey Skillen, Texas A&M University Behavior of Slab-Column Connections under Wind Demand PI: Christopher Motter, Washington State University Direct Tension Test Results and In-Situ Response in Reinforced UHPC Beams: Relationship and Design Implications PI: Sherif El-Tawil, University of Michigan Evaluating Residual Strength of Corrosion-Damaged Reinforced Concrete Members PI: Anca-Cristina Ferche, The University of Texas at Austin Co-PI: Serhan Guner, The University of Toledo Nano-Modified Calcined Clay-Based Cement Concrete: A High Modulus Concrete with Low Carbon Footprint PI: Panagiotis Danoglidis, The University of Texas at Arlington Novel Concrete Containments for Nuclear Reactors: Delamination Testing of Curved Wall Sections PI: Christopher Jones, Kansas State University Co-PI: Thomas Kang, Seoul National University Proposal to Investigate ICF Wall Construction Meeting the Requirements of NFPA 285 – Phase II PI: Shamim Rashid-Sumar, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association Co-PI: Douglas Bennion, Quadlock Rheological Behavior of Fresh Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) Enhanced by Nano-Additives and Data-Driven Approaches PI: Chengcheng Tao, Purdue University Co-PI: Kamal Khayat, Missouri University of Science and Technology Strut-and-Tie Design of Disturbed Regions Utilizing Internal Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Reinforcement PI: Rudolf Seracino, North Carolina State University Co-PI: Giorgio T. Proestos, North Carolina State University Sustainable and Safe Reinforced Concrete Retaining Walls PI: Luis Fargier-Gabaldon, University of Notre Dame The Role of Testing Conditions and Concrete Durability Issues in Chloride Binding and Desorption of Cementitious Systems PI: Mahmoud Shakouri, Colorado State University The ACI Foundation is committed to progress in the industry by contributing financially to necessary and worthy research. Additional information about each of this year’s awarded projects – including additional funding partners, research team, ACI committee involvement, project details, and more – is available at ACIFoundation.org/research. ### The ACI Foundation was established in 1989 to promote progress, innovation, and collaboration and is a wholly owned and operated non-profit subsidiary of the American Concrete Institute. Three councils make up the ACI Foundation; the Concrete Innovation Council, which identifies technologies and innovations and helps to implement when appropriate; the Concrete Research Council, which funds and assists in the research of new concrete technologies; and the Scholarship Council which facilitates student fellowships and scholarships.
