BACKGROUND
In the past, concrete pavements were routinely designed and constructed to provide low-maintenance service lives of 20 to 25 years. In fact, the majority of pavements in the U.S. interstate and primary systems were designed on the basis of a 20- to 25-year initial service life. More recently, there has been a movement toward longer initial service life, particularly in high-volume, urban corridors where traffic disruptions and user delays can be especially acute because of frequent or extended lane closures.
It is becoming an established practice in the United States to require that concrete pavements provide low-maintenance service lives of 40 or more years. Long-life concrete pavements have been attainable for a long time (as evidenced by the fact that a number of very old pavements remain in service); however, recent advances in design, construction, and concrete materials technology give us the knowledge and technology needed to achieve consistently what we already know to be attainable. Many State highway agencies, in conjunction with industry, are implementing innovative features related to structural design, concrete mixtures, construction equipment, construction process management, and testing procedures. To achieve long life, pavements must not exhibit premature failures and must have a reduced potential for cracking, faulting, spalling, and materials-related distress.
This 2 1/2-day conference is being organized as a part of technology transfer activities for the national Concrete Pavement Technology Program that operates within the Federal Highway Administration. The conference will provide an international forum to address various aspects of concrete pavement design, construction, and materials technologies that result in long life for concrete pavements.
The conference will be held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Illinois, near O''Hare International Airport. The conference hotel is the Doubletree Hotel O''Hare-Rosemont, located next to the Convention Center.
SCOPE
The Long-Life Concrete Pavements Conference is targeted at pavement, materials, and geotechnical engineering professionals who are involved in various aspects of concrete pavement design, construction, testing and evaluation, and rehabilitation. These professionals include Federal, State, and municipal engineers; consulting engineers; contractors; materials suppliers; industry associations; and academia. Implementable design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation techniques that result in long-lasting concrete pavements will be the focus of the conference.
