  2. What is theStrategic Development Council (SDC)? The SDC consists of organizations from the concrete industry represented by their top level executives who have a common goal best described by SDC’s Vision Statement.

  3. SDC Vision Statement • Bring together the concrete industry, along with government, academia and customers, to focus on collaborative problem-solving in meaningful technology advancement. The result shall be the expeditious movement of meaningful innovations through the standardization process into commercial use. Revised 11-04

  4. What is the advantage of the(SDC)? “Leadership”, defined as “enabling, facilitating, and expediting” SDC can focus on areas within the concrete industry that are • acknowledged to be an issue • extend beyond a single or few interests in the concrete industry

  5. What is theSDC’s relationship to theAmerican Concrete Institute (ACI)?

  6. The Strategic Development Council (SDC) is one of three councils of ConREF. Concrete Research and Education Foundation (ConREF) Concrete Research Council Strategic Development Council Scholarship Council

  7. And ConREF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American Concrete Institute. ConREF Concrete Research Council Strategic Development Council Scholarship Council

  8. What is theSDC’s rolein the concrete industry? The role of SDC is to facilitate advancement of concrete technology and can best be described by examples of its past and current activities. SDC’s activities can be grouped into three distinct areas outlined in the SDC Mission Statement.

  9. Mission Statement • The SDC shall facilitate advancement of concrete technology by: • Providing a forum for visioning and prioritization of key challenges facing the concrete industry • Assisting ACI in timely adoption of innovative technologies, problem solutions, and best practices • Providing a framework for consortia-directed development programs leading to or supporting improved commercialization Revised 11-04

  10. Mission Statement • The SDC shall facilitate advancement of concrete technology by: • Providing a forum for visioning and prioritizing key challenges facing the concrete industry • Assisting ACI in timely adoption of innovative technologies, problem solutions, and best practices • Providing a framework for consortia-directed development programs leading to or supporting improved commercialization Revised 11-04

  11. forum for visioning • Vision 2030: “A Vision for the U.S. Concrete Industry” • Accelerating Technology Acceptance (ATA) • Vision 2020: “Concrete Repair Industry’s Vision of the Future” • ConREF’s “Concrete Recruitment Workshop” For more information on any of the above, visit the www.concretesdc.org.

  12. Mission Statement • The SDC shall facilitate advancement of concrete technology by: • Providing a forum for visioning and prioritization of key challenges facing the concrete industry • Assisting ACI in timely adoption of innovative technologies, problem solutions, and best practices • Providing a framework for consortia-directed development programs leading to or supporting improved commercialization Revised 11-04

  13. timely adoption “Guide for Concrete Slabs to Receive Moisture-Sensitive Floor Coverings” • Identified by SDC as an “Industry Critical Technology” • Goal is to move this document through the ACI consensus process to the public in two years compared to typical 8-12 years • Pre-eminent example of the use of SDC‘s “Accelerating Technology Acceptance (ATA) process • SDC working with ACI Committee 302 – Construction of Concrete Floors to accomplish a timely adoption For more information on the above, visit the www.concretesdc.org.

  14. Mission Statement • The SDC shall facilitate advancement of concrete technology by: • Providing a forum for visioning and prioritization of key challenges facing the concrete industry • Assisting ACI in timely adoption of innovative technologies, problem solutions, and best practices • Providing a framework for consortia-directed development programs leading to or supporting improved commercialization Revised 11-04

  15. consortia-directed development • Consortium #40 – Concrete Floor Issues • Consortium #41 – Self Consolidating Concrete • Consortium #44 – Performance Based Specifications • Consortium #?? – Cracking • Consortium #?? – Sustainability (“Green”) • Action Group - ATA

  16. SDC’s Current Focus To • Identify critical industry technologies • Identify barriers to technology acceptance • Act as a catalyst to remove the barriers This is the outline of the SDC’s ATA (Accelerating Technology Acceptance)
