ASCP Forum (Online) – Collaborating toward Sustainability for Concrete Pavements | Conference Update | Website Benefits

The objectives of MECLA and why cutting embodied carbon matters will be put forward by Hudson Worsley.  How MECLA came to be set up, the findings of its foundation research, who is involved, how it works and what it hopes to achieve will be addressed.

Veronica Prado, Timothy Cook and Harrison Heycott from John Holland will provide details regarding the concrete products they are trialing in the WestConnex project’s haul roads and public shared user paths, and how these sustainable products will affect placement and speed of construction.

Jason Chandler will offer the concrete supplier’s perspective in discussing the collaboration ethos that existed at WestConnex 3B between asset owner, contractor and supplier.  He will also touch on some of the constraints on suppliers with regard to incorporating certain ‘sustainable’ materials such as glass and flyash.

The Hume District in the TfNSW Southern Region has over 700 carriageway kilometres of concrete pavements, including on the Hume and Federal Highways. Chandra Kasturiarachchi will outline the issues associated with slab replacement.

The new ASCP website is up and running with a significant increase in use compared with the old site.  Justin Moss will provide some tips regarding its use.

Registrations are open for the ASCP 2021 6th Concrete Pavements E-Conference in August.  Jamie Egan will provide a brief preview of what to expect.

ASCP2021 – 6th Concrete Pavements Conference

2020 tested our flexural capacity and at times strained our mental tensile strength to 85% yield. To maintain tradition, ASCP has worked hard to develop a unique line-up of papers and delivery format for its 6th Concrete Pavements Conference which will be delivered in August 2021. Like previous biennial conferences, this conference will traverse a range of concrete pavement themes as well as featured keynotes from respected international guests and one home grown colleague. Each of three conference sessions was selected to enable maximum global attendance. We hope to see you there!

The conference will be conducted online with the third day also being conducted live (limited to the 50 first registrations).

Purchase options include:

• 3-day eTicket (online)
• Add-on for live attendance, with Lunch included
• Discounts for ASCP Member, ISCP Members & EUPAVE Members/Partner

Online event details will be emailed to attendees

12th International Concrete Pavements Conference [ICCP]

This virtual conference will carry on the tradition of a series of international conferences begun in 1977 by Purdue University—now organized by the International Society for Concrete Pavements. As with the previous international conferences, the focus of the twelfth conference will be to present information on new technologies related to the design, construction and rehabilitation of various types of concrete pavements. These presentations will include peer reviewed paper presentation and ten sponsored workshops.

Between unknown international travel and limited travel opportunities for state agencies in the United States, we can announce that the 12th ICCP has been moved online for Aug/Sep 2021.  This decision was not taken lightly as the balance between ISCP’s mission of technology transfer and its fiduciary responsibilities required much discussion.

Concrete Pavement Design Advanced [CPEE]

This is a contiuation of the CPEE Concrete Pavement Design Fundamentals course 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.

Over two half-days, the course will cover:

• Review of Fundamentals course principles
• Reinforcement and Anchor Design
• Surface finishing and texturing
• Further review of jointing design
• Sealants and Joints
• Maintenance considerations
• Linking design & construction
