The American Concrete Institute announces the formation of Editorial Boards to oversee the ACI Materials Journal and the ACI Structural Journal.

Each Editorial Board will be composed of an editor-in-chief and four research expert members. The Editorial Boards will focus on the mission of making and keeping ACI’s serial publications the premier place to publish for academic researchers in the field of concrete. The Boards’ initial missions include identifying new topics for commissions, special editions, and advising on the direction for the journals, making suggestions for both subject matter and potential authors; providing content by writing occasional editorials and other short articles; overseeing journal quality; and more.

Jason Weiss serves as Editor-in-Chief of the ACI Materials Journal Editorial Board, with board members Zachary Grasley, Maria Juenger, Kamal Khayat, and Michael Thomas.

Robert Frosch serves as Editor-in-Chief of the ACI Structural Journal Editorial Board, with board members Catherine French, Michael Kreger, David Sanders, and James Wight.

"The formation of the Editorial Boards for the ACI Materials Journal and ACI Structural Journal will further support the advancement of concrete technology and concrete construction worldwide,” said Khaled Awad, President, American Concrete Institute. “By selecting and publishing the most current research with the greatest impact on concrete design and construction, ACI Editorial Boards will provide access to professionals around the world to the latest information on concrete and its uses. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the world-renowned experts who accepted to serve on the Boards for their passion and dedication to support ACI in advancing concrete knowledge globally."

The ACI Materials Journal and ACI Structural Journal have been publishing research on properties of concrete materials and design of structural concrete from many of the brightest minds in the concrete industry since ACI began publishing journals back in December 1912. The goal has always been to ensure that those who design and build with concrete have access to the most current and cutting-edge research and information on concrete.  In many cases, research published in ACI’s journals directly impacts the codes, specifications, and practices published by the Institute and other standards developing organizations. 

To date ACI has more than 4,700 papers in the printed and digital ACI Materials Journal and ACI Structural Journal. Digital subscriptions to both journals is included with ACI membership.
