American Concrete Institute
The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a non-profit technical society and standard developing organization (SDO). ACI was founded in 1904 and its headquarters are currently located in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA.[1]
ACI History
1904-1929: A lack of standards for making concrete blocks resulted in a negative perception of concrete for construction. An editorial by Charles C. Brown in the September 1904 issue of Municipal Engineering discussed the idea of forming an organization to bring order and standard practices to the industry.[2]
