BackgroundLong-life concrete pavements (LLCPs) have been attainable for a long time as evidenced by the fact that a large mileage of very old pavements remains in service. In addition, continuing 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 the United States, in conjunction with industry, are implementing innovative features related to structural design, concrete mixtures, construction equipment, construction process management, and testing procedures to achieve LLCPs that are economical and sustainable. To achieve long life, pavements must not exhibit premature failures and must have a reduced potential for cracking, faulting, spalling, and materials-related distress. To be sustainable, pavement design and construction practices must reduce the carbon footprint due to construction, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation. Finally, the life cycle impact of concrete pavements, considering life cycle costs and environmental and societal impacts, must be better than other pavement systems. The 2½-day Seattle LLCP conference is being organized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as part of technology transfer activities under the Advanced Concrete Pavement Technology (ACPT) Program that operates within FHWA. 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 and are sustainable. ScopeThe 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; and academia. Implementable design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation techniques that result in long-lasting concrete pavements will be the focus of the conference. A mini-symposium focusing on concrete pavement durability will be held on the last day of the conference. This is in recognition of the fact that concrete pavement durability under site-specific exposure conditions is a primary requirement for achieving long-life concrete pavements. Preliminary ProgramThe conference program will consist of about 40 peer-reviewed papers/presentations on best practices related to LLCPs. Implementable design, concrete materials, construction, and rehabilitation techniques that result in long-lasting concrete pavements are the focus. The program will also include two forums of invited presentations from U.S. highway agencies, a mini-symposium on paving concrete durability, and a poster program targeted at research in progress. The tentative technical program is detailed below. Program at a Glance—September 18–21, 2012
