Distinguished Visiting Fellow Randall Poston begins term as President of American Concrete Institute
Dr. Randall Poston, Sr. Principal at Pivot Engineers and member of the inaugural class of Neil Armstrong Distinguished Visiting Fellows, has begun his term as President of the American Concrete Institute (ACI). Dr. Poston became the 96th President of the American Concrete Institute at the conclusion of the ACI Convention in Quebec City on March 28, 2019.
Dr. Poston will serve in the role for one year and intends to focus ACI’s efforts on international advocacy and outreach for adoption of ACI's building codes and standards, as well as increasing membership of young professionals in the concrete industry.
An internationally recognized expert in structural engineering and member to the National Academy of Engineering, Randall Poston has established himself as one of the preeminent structural consultants in the United States. Dr. Poston has authored and delivered hundreds of papers and presentations related to the structural engineering industry, championed the repair of existing structures for upwards of 30 years, and dedicated his career to advancing the state of structural engineering knowledge. As past Chair of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 318 Structural Building Code (2008-2014), he oversaw a monumental effort to completely reorganize the concrete code, the first undertaking of its kind in the history of ACI. Engineering News-Record (ENR) named him a "Top 25 Newsmaker" of 2014 for his code reorganization leadership and ACI bestowed him with the Henry L. Kennedy Award for this work.
