This course is sponsored by NEU: an ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete.

This course will provide information on existing and new materials and technologies that have shown strong potential to play a significant role in CO2 emissions reductions in the concrete industry and considerations for the wise use of materials and design aspects towards reducing CO2 emissions in concrete construction. This session will be geared toward all stakeholders, researchers, and students in the concrete industry.

The contents of this course include 3 recorded presentations from the ACI 2024 Spring Convention:
1. Demonstrating Low Carbon Concrete for Tilt-Up Wall Panel Construction; Thomas Van Dam, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc.
2. Reducing the GWP of Concrete: Thoughts on Reactivity, EPDs and Optimization; Jason Weiss, Oregon State University
3. Carbon Neutrality and Sustainability Design of Concrete Structures; Koji Sakai, Japan Sustainability Institute

1. Identify low-carbon concrete materials and technologies and the importance of validation/verification of new materials and technologies.
2. Demonstrate low-carbon concrete applications.
3. Discuss the importance of accurate quantification of material properties to reduce the GWP of Concrete.
4. Discuss the importance of appropriate transition design towards carbon neutral concrete.

Study the materials included in this module. Then, complete and pass the corresponding 10-question quiz with a score of 80% or higher to receive a certificate for 0.1 CEU (1.0 PDH).
