General Presentation
An Overview of Sustainable Concrete Design
Dr. Andrea Schokker, P.E., LEED AP, NEU
Green concrete, carbon-neutral concrete, sustainable design… so many terms and so much to learn about how to make it happen. Andrea Schokker, NEU technical consultant and board advisor, provides an overview of sustainable concrete basics from material choice to design, plus discusses what to do now and what we can expect for the future.

Demonstrating Low Carbon Concrete for Tilt-Up Wall Panel Construction
Tom Van Dam, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc.
The results of a low-carbon concrete tilt-up wall panel demonstration project will be presented that evaluated three concrete mixtures: a base level Type IL (Mix#1), the Type IL with 25% replacement with slag cement (Mix #2), and an ASTM C1157 cement with less than 5% portland cement (Mix#3). Extensive laboratory testing determined the bleed rate, initial and final set, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and drying shrinkage of the three mixtures as well as establishing maturity relationships. Considerable information was obtained through testing and in situ monitoring providing lessons on how to use concrete with significantly lower carbon even under difficult temperature conditions.

NEU Carbon Neutral Concrete Day at Spring 2023 ACI Convention
LC3 or Calcined Clay Cements, an Upcoming Alternative Material that has Multiple Benefits for the Production and Placement of Carbon Neutral Concrete
Dr. Karen Scrivener, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)
Karen Scrivener, FREng, EPFL Switzerland, discusses changing the pattern of cement use and the most promising approach to reducing the clinker factor. She explains calcined clays and why they are the only realistic option for extending the use of SCMs.

Carbon Neutral Concrete Materials and Technologies 2023, What to Implement Now and What is Coming
Mary Christiansen, PhD, LEED AP, University of Minnesota Duluth
Mary Christiansen, PhD, LEED AP, University of Minnesota Duluth, provides an overview of sustainability in terms of embodied carbon in concrete, where the C02 in concrete comes from, and the materials and technologies available today to reduce the carbon in concrete. Future technologies and materials for a low-carbon concrete future are discussed.

NEU Session on Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete
NEU Staff
This session is sponsored by NEU: an ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete and is geared toward all stakeholders, researchers, and students in the concrete industry. Attendees have the opportunity to learn about new materials and technologies to reduce carbon emissions in the cement and concrete industry, the NEU technology validation/verification program status, ACI code advocacy efforts, and the status of codes and standards for the use of low-carbon cement and concrete materials. This session was originally presented at the ACI Fall 2023 Convention in Boston.
