Resources

In many environments, nonmetallics offer attractive performance characteristics and address environmental and sustainability challenges. Numerous guides, reports, and specifications on nonmetallic technologies in concrete have been published over the past several decades.

NEx: An ACI Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials will expand knowledge and expertise in nonmetallic construction and materials. Additional education programs, certifications, standards development and adoption, and research are envisioned in the future. Selected resources available now include:
