Abstract:
The case histories outlined in this article show how various individuals and groups influence the total use of concrete at the same time they promote their own services. The fact that individuals of many diverse interests join ACI indicates their widespread interest in concrete. If all these diverse interests concentrated on promoting more concrete construction, concrete would easily achieve an overwhelming predominance as a construction material. [Author]
