Two eminent RILEM Members honoured by ACI

Kamal H. Khayat has earned the Arthur R. Anderson Medal from the American Concrete Institute (ACI). The award was presented at ACI’s Concrete Convention and Exposition in April 2015. The award recognizes Khayat’s work to develop and sustain world-class research facilities and for solving highly significant problems in concrete design, materials and construction. The award was established in 1972 by the ACI in recognition of a past president of the institute. It is given to people, firms or organizations for outstanding contributions to the advancement of knowledge of concrete as a construction material. The award is not presented every year, only when decided by the ACI Board.

R. Douglas Hooton received the Wason Medal for Most Meritorious Paper for his paper co-authored with Chris Rogers, Carole Anne MacDonald, and Terrance Ramlochan "Twenty-Year Field Evaluation of Alkali-Silica Reaction Mitigation," published in ACI Materials Journal, Sept.– Oct. 2013. The Wason Medal for Most Meritorious Paper was founded in 1917 by Leonard C. Wason, past president of ACI, and has been awarded continually since that date. It is awarded each year to the author or authors of the most meritorious paper published by the Institute.

Congratulations!!
