This Forum ASCP regularly holds technical forums in Brisbane on different aspects related to concrete pavements. In this forum, three presenters from the industry will cover material specification, innovative materals, and design methods using geosynthetics.

• What is practically achievable? • Cost increase • Options to reduce/control cracking :  Be aware of details that provide a restraint  Reinforcement?  Joint width/ Number of Joints  Consider “Chequerboard” board pours instead of long strip  Aliphatic alcohol before final finishing  Compaction  Effective...

The basic and fundamental principles that are required to make concrete pavements are discussed, including presentation of common equipment and methods.
