WA ACI Chapter and SEAW Seattle Joint Meeting | February 26, 2025Have 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 who 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 the 323 Committee and 318 Sustainability Subcommittee: Nathan Forrest, PE, ENV S.P., and Shana Kelley, PE, SE.

This meeting will explore various methods to make concrete even more environmentally friendly, including using admixtures, supplementary cementitious materials, and different types of concrete. We will also discuss light reflectivity and protection techniques. These strategies can extend the lifespan of concrete while reducing labor and energy costs (both initial and over the life cycle), minimizing stormwater runoff, mitigating heat island effects, and lowering carbon footprints. Understanding these options is essential as green and sustainable construction becomes increasingly important.
