Founded in 1904 and headquartered in Farmington Hills, MI, USA, the American Concrete Institute is advancing concrete knowledge by conducting seminars, managing certification programs, and publishing technical documents.

 

 

Founded in 1924, the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute is a trade association that stands as the authoritative resource for information related to steel reinforced concrete construction. CRSI members are manufacturers, fabricators and placers of steel reinforcing bar and related products, as well as professionals who are involved in the research, design and construction of reinforced concrete.

 

 

 

In March 2008, a new group was formed within the Concrete Reinforced Steel Institute (CRSI). The Epoxy Interest Group (EIG) of CRSI operates within the charter of CRSI, but promotes and markets epoxy-coated bars. It creates awareness and interest in epoxy-coated reinforcing steel and its important benefits for transportation agencies, engineering specifiers and contractors.

 

 

  

ESCSI is the international trade association for manufactureres of rotary kiln-produced expanded shale, expanded clay, and expanded slate lightweight aggregate.  ESCSI promotes the extensive use of rotary kiln-produced lightweight aggregate in the lightweight concrete masonry and structural lightweight concrete markets, as well as use in asphalt, geotechnical and other applications.

Since its founding in 1916, the Portland Cement Association has had the same mission: "Improve and expand the uses of portland cement and concrete." Where cement and concrete are concerned, so is the Portland Cement Association: in manufacturing, in raising the quality of construction, in improving our product and its uses, in contributing to a better environment. In practice, this mandate means well-rounded programs of market development, education, research, technical services, and government affairs on behalf of PCA members-cement companies in the United States and Canada.

 

 

Established in 1976, the PTI is recognized as the worldwide authority on post-tensioning and is dedicated to expanding post-tensioning applications through marketing, education, research, teamwork, and code development while advancing the quality, safety, efficiency, profitability, and use of post-tensioning system.

The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute is a unique organization of producers, suppliers and professionals. Since its inception in 1954, PCI has been a dynamic force in the steady growth, and the current position of this expanding industry.

 

 

 

www.silicafume.org
The Silica Fume Association (SFA) was formed in 1998 to assist the producers of silica fume in promoting its usage in concrete. Silica fume, a by-product of silicon and ferro-silicon metal production, is a highly-reactive pozzolan and a key ingredient in high-performance concrete, dramatically increasing the service-life of structures.

 

 

 

 

 

The Wire Reinforcement Institute (WRI) is the world's leading association of manufacturers, allied industries, and professionals engaged in the production and application of structural welded wire reinforcement (WWR) and related products for concrete reinforcement.
