Are Low Clinker, Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) Mixtures Compatible with Long-Term Durability and Long-Service Lives?

October 26, 2025 to October 29, 2025

Sponsor(s): ACI Committees 201 and 236

Description:
Meeting: The technical session “Are Low Clinker, Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) Mixtures Compatible with Long-Term Durability and Long-Service Lives?” will be held at the ACI Concrete Convention – Fall 2025 in Baltimore, MD, USA; sponsored by ACI Committees 201, Durability of Concrete, and 236, Material Science of Concrete.

Solicited: Presentations are solicited for this session that provide state-of-the-art information on mixtures with a low GWP and long-term durability. It is anticipated that this will consist of low-clinker mixtures and mixtures made using alternative binders and that the pros and cons of these mixtures will be presented as they relate to service life. This session will highlight beneficial outcomes associated with high clinker replacements with reactive supplementary cementitious materials. The talks will also feature concerns related to premature deterioration that may occur due to corrosion, freezing and thawing, or other aspects of environmental exposure. The audience would be researchers, material suppliers, and design professionals.

Requirements: 1) potential title; 2) presenter name; 3) author(s) name, affiliation, and email; and 4) abstract outlining the primary conclusions of the presentation. This
information should be submitted to either Jason Weiss, Oregon State University, jason.weiss@oregonstate.edu, or Franco Zunino, University of California, Berkeley, zunino@berkeley.edu.

Deadline: Abstracts are due by December 30, 2024.
