Registration Open for ACI Foundation’s 2023 Technology Forum

The ACI Foundation’s Concrete Innovation Council (CIC) will host its next Technology Forum on August 29 - August 31, 2023, in Portland, OR. This year’s highly anticipated forum offers fifteen presentations that highlight new technologies, advances in research and new test standards. NEU – An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete is sponsoring the group lunch which will be followed by several carbon neutral topics. The event will conclude with a debate that discusses new technologies for determining concrete strength and how such methodologies can find a path to be used in acceptance criteria for concrete.

The forum topics include:

Technology Showcases:

  • Argyle: A BIM to AR Program for the Field — Presented by Maret Thatcher of Argyle
  • Carbon Capture of CO2 from Gas Streams — Presented by Brittany Zimmerman of Yummet
  • Rebel Sensor System: Measuring Real‐Time In‐Place Concrete Strength — Presented by Luna Lu, of Purdue and WaveLogix
  • Sublime: Decarbonizing Cement and the Co‐Production of Green Hydrogen – Presented by a representative of Sublime Systems

Presentations:

  • How Do Venture Capitalists Evaluate Technologies for Investment? — Presented by Curtis Rogers of Brick & Mortar Ventures
  • Advances for the Use of Basalt Fibers & Rebar – Presented by Alvaro Ruiz Emparanza of the University of Miami
  • CCUS and Innovative Materials: The Building Blocks for Net‐Zero Concrete — Presented by Emily Kunkel for Thornton Tomasetti
  • Develop of Innovations — Presented by Sean Monkman of CarbonCure
  • Framework for Characterizing the Performance of High‐Early Strength, High‐Volume Fly Ash Concrete Structures— Presented by Matthew J. Gombeda from the Illinois Institute of Technology
  • Using Machine Learning to Automate Design Tasks — Presented by Brad Malmsten of Thornton Tomasetti

Debate:

Alternatives to Cylinder Breaks for Acceptance Testing, Part II, will discuss currently available new technologies for strength testing. Panelists will debate if the industry could/should develop more rapid and reliable acceptance criteria based on those methods. Viewpoints of contractor, producer, specifier, and testing agency sectors will be represented with extended time for Q&A with attendees.

The ACI Foundation Technology Forum is an industry-exclusive educational and networking event for concrete professionals. The forum is your opportunity to connect with representatives from material suppliers, architecture & engineering firms, contractors, academics, top-level executives, and regulatory agencies.
