International Conference on Long-Life Concrete Pavement-2012
Final Technical Program
September 18-21, 2012-Seattle, Washington
Organized by
- Federal Highway Administration
- National Concrete Pavement Technology Center
Co-sponsored by
- American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
- American Concrete Pavement Association
- Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute
- International Society for Concrete Pavements
- National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

Background
Long-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 3-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 offers 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.
Scope
The LLCP 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 are the focus of the conference. A mini-symposium focusing on concrete pavement durability, on the last day of the conference, is provided in recognition of the fact that concrete pavement durability under site-specific exposure conditions is a primary requirement for achieving long-life concrete pavements.
Program
The conference program consists of 42 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 also includes two forums of invited presentations from U.S. highway agencies, a mini-symposium on paving concrete durability, and a poster program, held in the exhibit area, that is targeted at research in progress and State DOT activities and initiatives related to LLCPs.

Technology Transfer to Develop and Manage Safer, Smoother, Longer Lasting Concrete Pavements
That Incorporate Sustainable Technologies
Much work is in progress to create sustainable concrete pavement technologies that are cost effective and meet the user's needs for safer, smoother, quieter, and longer lasting pavements. The findings from these ongoing and completed studies will be disseminated at the conference, and directions for future work will be defined. |
