ACI conducts this forum through conventions and meetings; the ACI Structural Journal, the ACI Materials Journal, Concrete International, and technical publications; chapter activities; and technical committee work. As its chartered objective states, its purpose is "to provide a comradeship in finding the best ways to do concrete work of all kinds and in spreading that knowledge."
Canadian Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (CPCI)-The members of the Canadian Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute have many strengths to offer your next project. CPCI Members have 35 plants located throughout Canada with over 250,000sq. m of plant space available for producing the precast concrete you require for your project. The inherent benefits of precast prestressed concrete make it the best choice for many projects. Structural strength provides long clear spans.
