Presenters: David R. Smith and Dave Jones, UC Davis Pavement Research Center in California The use of permeable pavement is increasing as a means to reduce stormwater runoff, pollutants, recharge aquifers, and create a more resilient, less flood-prone environment. Most permeable pavements are porous asphalt, pervious concrete, or permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP). This research […]

“Conceptos básicos de refuerzo de hormigón” Carlos Chang, Associate Professor, Universidad de Texas El Paso

Presented by Gerard Moulzolf, American Engineering Testing (AET) Presenting a case study of the oldest concrete pavement in America (in Bellefontaine, OH). Summary: In the summer of 2016, AET was contacted by the American Concrete Paving Association (ACPA) to investigate concrete from Court Avenue in Bellefontaine, Ohio—the oldest concrete pavement in the United States. The study […]

National Road Research Alliance (NRRA): “Determining Pavement Design Criteria for Recycled Aggregate Base and Large Stone Sublease” via SKYPE presented by Bora Cetin, Iowa State University

Lev Khazanovich, University of Pittsburgh The presentation provides an update on the performance evaluation of FOURMinnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT)'s MnROADconcrete pavement cells loaded several hours after concrete placement. The cells did not exhibit any visible damage and the analysis of the data collected by the MnROAD personnel could not identify any damage associated with […]

Review by Heidi Olson, Braun Intertec As Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements age, longitudinal and transverse joints can exhibit varying signs of distress. Longer-lasting materials used in the initial joint repairs reduce impact to travelers and eliminate additional costs. Material types available for longer-term repairs vary widely in cost, required skill level for satisfactory placement, […]

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA)—Part I: Fundamentals TOPICS: Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) concepts, steps in pavement LCCA process, tools to conduct LCCA Part II: May 21: Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) - Part II—Applications TOPICS: Key considerations in pavement LCCA, example LCCA applications in sustainability-related applications

By Manik Barman, University of Minnesota - Duluth Due to increasing budget constraints, there is interest in economizing pavement structures by reducing the panel thickness or increasing the service life of the pavement. Past research has demonstrated definite limits to reducing the panel thickness of conventional undoweled jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP), thus invoking interest […]
