National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

A research cooperation agreement signed in May between the NRMCA and the University of Maryland’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering will lead to the establishment of the Center for Concrete Research. The intent is to use the synergies of the academic community with the established NRMCA research laboratory to conduct applied research that benefits the industry. The results will enable NRMCA members to address and shape technical issues impacting their business. The project reports will be a valuable marketing and educational tool for members. The parties will also seek contracts to support the industry in routine testing and provide industry training through workshops, training courses and conferences on new state-of-the-art developments in the field.
