Join us for the next Blockheads meeting with Dr. Matthew Adams

​Dr. Matthew Adams is chair of Committee 323 of The American Concrete Institute, which recently released ACI CODE-323-24: Low-Carbon Concrete—Code Requirements and Commentary. The Code provides provisions for concrete where reduced global warming potential (GWP) is required.

​“In the past, standards for lowering carbon in the built environment have been difficult to define and this Code represents a giant leap forward,” said Matthew Adams, Chair, ACI Committee 323. “The Code provides references for various structures so that the guidelines can be applied to any project.

​Dr. Adams will explain some of the most important parts of this new code and how it can be used by citizen activists who are working on having such a code adopted by their local or state agencies.

​Dr. Matthew Adams, Director of The Materials and Structures Laboratory (MatSLab) at New Jersey Institute of Technology, is an Associate Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
