Concrete Pavement Design Fundamentals [CPEE]

FINAL PLACES FILLING FAST FOR CPEE CONCRETE PAVEMENTS FUNDAMENTALS TRAINING.

Intended to inform on the principles & practices involved in concrete pavement design, the course program will closely follow the content in the appropriate Chapters of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology – Part 2: Pavement Structural Design and Part 4C: Materials for the Concrete Pavements, which are used as the principal references.

The materials content will however cover more information than is in the current Guide, as the selection of materials is critical to producing a road/pavement design that will deliver both structural and functional performance.

Appropriate joint types and their design are key elements and will be discussed in detail.

Over two half-days, the course will cover:

• Background Design Systems
• Environment Considerations
• Subgrade Evaluation & Subbase Design
• Concrete Materials - Subbase & Base
• Traffic Estimation
• Workshop Exercise - Traffic
• Thickness Design
• Design of Lightly Trafficked Pavements
• Joint Design and Layouts
• Workshop (Optional) – 3.00pm-4.00pm

[Waitlist] – TfNSW Grey Card: Concrete Basics Training R82/R83

This course is presented by the Australian Society for Concrete Pavements under agreement
with Transport for NSW (TfNSW).

Note: The ASCP is currently taking 'waitlist registrations' for the training.  Once we have a cohort to conduct the training, you will be contacted with possible dates.

Class Size and Format

The course is intended for individuals or organisations requiring training. For organisations the ASCP can conduct the course with a minimum of 10 and maximum 30 people requiring the course.  ASCP typically provides the course at the organisations preferred location. The course can also be presented online.

Target Audience

Course attendance is mandatory (under TfNSW Major Roadworks specifications) for concrete paving crews and their immediate supervisors. Participation is also recommended for associated staff such as engineers, project managers, testing operators, audit & surveillance staff, quality managers and materials suppliers. Participants on successful completion of the course are issued with a Grey Card (Valid for 5 years) from TfNSW. The  course is suitable for maintenance crews but does not specifically cover maintenance issues.

ASCP Forum (F2F/Online) – Innovation, Sustainability & Low Carbon Concretes: Can We Achieve In Pavements? – 31 May 2022

Innovation, Sustainability, Low Carbon Concretes: How can we achieve in Pavements – has become a keenly anticipated event for 2022. The Australian cement and concrete sector has a long history of reducing its CO2 emissions having delivered a 25 per cent reduction since 2000 [VDZ 2022] being a critical material input for durable and cost effective concrete pavements.

The goal for this forum is to bring together all actors within the concrete pavement supply chain and understand the challenges, drivers, tools and possible pathways towards decarbonising cement, concrete and accordingly the competitive advantage of concrete pavements by 2050.

The following  list of impressive speakers and topics are:

• Craig Heidrich, Welcome
• Ross Guppy National Technical Specification Project (Austroads)
• Ken Lunty Pavement Sustainability Assessment (Arcadis)
• Brook Hall Sustainability Assessment Tool for pavements (ARRB)
• Jason Nairn VDZ Report – Road Map to Net Zero 2050 (CCAA)
• Lunch Break (30 mins)
• Jason Chandler Innovation Process (Boral)
• Justin Moss Better Shared Path Design (Arcadis)
• Craig Heidrich  Landscape for SCM Contribution to Net Zero (Craig Heidrich, ASAA, ADAA)
• Stephen Rae NACoE Project S51: Suitability of the Use of Recycled Aggregate in Concrete (TMR)
• Frank Knippers  TBC (Holcim)
• Sam Henwood State Road Update (TfNSW)

Registrations for the event are open.
