Founded in 1944 by the Institute, the ACI Construction Award is intended to enrich the literature in construction practices and to honor the workers whose resourcefulness produces a completed structure from drawings and specifications. It may be awarded annually, but not necessarily in each year, to the author or coauthors of any paper of outstanding merit on concrete construction practice published by ACI. The award is presented as a plaque.
This award is no longer presented.
