Have you heard about the newly published ACI 323-24 Low-Carbon Concrete Code and the new Sustainability and Resilience Appendix in ACI 318-25? Join us over dinner to learn about these two new exciting codes from people that were instrumental in their development. You’ll also hear an overview of what is included in both codes and information about what adoption of each would mean for how you design and specify concrete.
We are fortunate to have two presenters who served on both the 323 Committee and 318 Sustainability Subcommittee: Nathan Forrest, PE, ENV S.P., and Shana Kelley, PE, SE.
