ACI Concrete Solutions Competition

Objectives

Students must demonstrate and/or explain how their use of concrete could positively impact the world at large. This competition is broad in its scope—teams are encouraged to use creative means to present and explain their concrete approach or solution to a broad audience including why it should interest the public at large. The top 20 submissions will participate in team interviews with judges.

The winners will be announced at the ACI Student Lunch taking place on Monday, March 28, 2022, from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm ET. For examples of submission topics, see more in the rules below.
