Carbon Conscious Concrete Symposium

October 2, 2025 to October 5, 2025

Starting Time:   10/2/2025 

End Time:   10/5/2025 

Sponsor(s): C3 2025

Description:
Meeting: Carbon Conscious Concrete Symposium (C3 2025) will be held October 2-5, 2025, at the Westin Chicago River North, Chicago, IL, USA.

Solicited: The impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated during the production and use of concrete materials and structures has become a significant concern in recent
years. Over the past several decades, various technologies have been developed to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete. More recently, there has been a surge in research as the cement and concrete sector aims to decarbonize to meet pressing climate goals. This symposium offers a platform for researchers from industry, academia, and national labs, along with students and young professionals, to share cutting-edge developments in low-carbon cementitious materials. Also, join us in celebrating ACI Honorary Member Surendra P. Shah’s 90th birthday. For the past 60 years, Shah has made paramount contributions to advancing concrete technology. This conference will honor Shah’s achievements in the field of concrete worldwide, including work on fracture mechanisms, high-ductile concrete, nano-engineered concrete, and sustainability.

Papers are invited on the following topics: techniques for reducing CO2 during cement production; carbon treatment of concrete materials; low-carbon concrete binders; characterization and performance evaluation of low-CO2 binders; use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and industrial wastes (construction, agricultural); advanced concrete technologies for sustainability; computational and data-driven modeling; and environmental impact analysis, life-cycle analysis, and techno-economic analysis.

Deadline: Abstracts are due by January 15, 2025.
