Welcome
Airfield and Highway Pavements
Meeting Today's Challenges with
Emerging Technologies
Designed to transfer knowledge about emerging technologies and their
implementation...to demonstrate their success or impediments to their
success in addressing critical issues in the life cycle of a pavement.
While the basics of pavement engineering and construction have not changed in
the past 100 years, there have been several technological improvements
in the past 15 years. Many of these proven new technologies resulted from
long-term research by the FAA's National Airfield Test Facility
and the Innovative Pavement Research Foundation (IPRF), and
programs such as the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP)
Program and the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP).
Conference sessions, with topics focused on new technologies, will include:
- Pavement Management Systems
- Pavement Evaluation
- Materials and Mix Designs
- Pavement Design and Analysis Methods
- Construction Approaches and QC/QA
- Rehabilitation Techniques
- Field Instrumentation and Testing
- Pavement Preservation Technology
Conference format, with multiple tracks related to pavements, will cover:
- Performance of Applied Technologies and Case Histories
- Emerging Technologies and Demonstration Projects
- Current Research on Airfield and Highway Pavements
