Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The Foundation is dedicated to enhancing and strengthening the concrete industry through independent research and quality education programming.

  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology Concrete Sustainability Hub (MIT CSHub):The MIT CSHub brings together leaders from academia, industry, and government to develop breakthroughs using a holistic approach that will achieve durable and sustainable homes, buildings, and infrastructure in ever more demanding environments.The mission of the CSHub is to develop breakthroughs that will achieve sustainable and durable homes, buildings, and infrastructure. This is approached by conducting research to reduce the impact of producing and using concrete, and to develop tools to support infrastructure decisions: life-cycle environmental, cost, and hazard resistance.Research at the MIT CSHub has been organized around three focus areas: concrete materials science, building technology and the econometrics of sustainable development.

    Expenses $2,437,161 · Grants $2,025,000

  • NRMCA -Project to Investigate ICF WallConstruction Meeting the Requirements of NFPA 285.

    Expenses $49,921 · Grants $41,665

  • Examining the Abrasion and Carbonation Resistance of Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) Systems for Industrial Floors.

    Expenses $21,358 · Grants $17,826

  • Experimental Carbon Uptake Study in Various Design Applications for Concrete.

    Expenses $5,392 · Grants $4,500

  • Comparison of Cost and Energy Performance: Houses Built with ICF vs. Wood-framed Houses.

    Expenses $3,355 · Grants $2,800

  • Development of Online Pavement Design Software:This project will provide free, online design guidance to pavement designers seeking to design in concrete. The design tools will allow designers and owners to maximize durability, increase sustainability and reduce the cost of pavements for the benefit of society.

  • FAIL-SAFE Project:Factually Analyzing Integrated Layers of Safety Against Fires Effects (FAIL-SAFE) aims to study the impacts of fire and life safety in structures equipped with multiple layers of both active and passive fire protection features. The goal is to understand how active and passive fire protection features are interdependent in providing the level of safety that the public and fire service have come to expect. Deliverables will include several reports examining elements of fire safety such as sprinklers, building types, risk potential, reviews of strength and weaknesses of different types of fire protection systems, recommendations for changes and further action, as well as other information and tools.

  • A Guide to Concrete Trails provides design and construction information to specifier for construction of all types of paved recreational trails including those for biking, running, walking, and for golf courses for sustainability, wellness and quality of life.

  • Performance Engineered Mixtures study to address concrete durability issues for pavements. RMC's financial contribution is an industry match for funding thorugh a state DOT pooled fund research project.

  • Evaluation of Chloride Limits for Reinforced Concrete to allow for appropriate use of supplementary cementitious materials to increase strength, durability and service life of concrete structures and support sustainable construction.

  • Development of a Concrete Strength Model to Optimize Concrete Mixtures will develop a simple, independent and validated model that ready mix producers can use to optimize their concrete mixtures for strength without overdesigning them, helping producers to use their materials more efficiently.

  • Project will move the LIFE-365 software to an online platform for ease of keeping current.

  • Project is an update of the Guide to Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots which helsp users identify candidates for concrete overlays and guides them on how to best perform a concrete overlay of asphalt parking lots.

  • This project is a comprehensive update to NRMCA's Concrete Delivery Professional (CDP) Certification Program. The original prgram was developed over 20 years and the new version will include a revised curriculum and will move the program to be online.

  • Concrete Habitat Homes Design & Construction Competition: This project is for a design and construction competition for a future Habitat for Humanity project. The project is, in part, meant to increase the exposure of architectural students to concrete and concrete design.

  • Expansion of the Concrete Testing Adherence Collaboration: This project seeks to expand the Concrete Testing Adherence Collaboration to help ensure proper testing procedures , especially involving initial curing.

  • Comparison of Cost & Energy Performance: Houses Built with ICF v. Conventional Construction: This project will provide a true side-by-side comparison of energy performance for insulated concrete forms (ICF) built houses versus conventional wood frame constructed houses in Oklahoma.

  • Reliable Measurement and Specification of of Sulfur in Concrete Aggregates: This project will develop a standarize method to test for sulfur in concrete aggregates and will aid in the evaluation of aggregates for their potential to degrade concrete through oxidation of pyrrhotite and other iron sulfide minerals.

  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology - The goal of this project is to develop a vision and implementation plan for a new concrete delivery professional workforce to increase workforce supply and retention.

  • NRMCA - The project consists of gathering, organizing, and presenting information regarding the acoustic performance of concrete wall and floor/ceiling assemblies.

  • NRMCA - This project studied earthquake resiliency for a variety of construction types commonly used for multifamily housing, including: traditional wood framing, mass timber, steel framing, and insulated concrete forms (ICF).

  • This project is a comprehensive update to NRMCA's Concrete Delivery Professional (CDP) Certification Program. The original prgram was developed over 20 years and the new version will include a revised curriculum and will move the program to be online.

  • NRMCA -The objective of this study was to investigate optimization of rebar area and spacing in reinforced concrete walls, including ICF walls commonly used in low- and mid-rise construction. This can increase the sustainability of construciton by using less material.

  • Investigating ICF Wall Construction Meeting the Requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 285

  • Skate4Concrete Program -Additions Including Gamification of the High School Certification, Engagement with Career-Technical Education (CTE) Instructors, and Organization of a Multi-State High School Mini Skatepark Competition

  • Experimental Carbon Uptake Study in Various Design Applications for Concrete

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
