5th Advanced Workshop on Concrete Pavements

This international symposium aims to bring together experts in concrete materials characterization, mechanics, modeling, and design to critically discuss and develop concepts to address existing limitations, lack of knowledge, and most importantly, the future direction for improvement of concrete pavement analysis, design, and construction.

This symposium is the fifth in a series of fundamental workshops sponsored by the International Society for Concrete Pavements (ISCP) preceding the International Conference on Concrete Pavements. Starting this year, the workshop will be upgraded into an International Symposium to differentiate it from the various workshops offered at the main conference. The first in this series of encounters was held in Copper Mountain, Colorado, USA in August 2005 while the second and third were held, respectively, in Berkeley, California, USA in August 2008 and in Lac Delage, Quebec, Canada in July 2012. The latest and fourth workshop in this series was held in Round Top, Texas, USA in August 2016.

This workshop will proceed the 13th International Conference on Concrete Pavements in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

1. Sustainability and Resilience
2. Innovative Materials and Design
3. Pavement Design and Analysis
4. Construction
5. Pavement Assessment and Management

Each presenter will make a 10-minute presentation and the session chair will lead a subsequent 20-minute group discussion on the topic.

At the end of the Symposium, recommendations will be developed for presentation at the 13th International Conference on Concrete Pavements.

The workshop will take place at the Hampton Inn & Suites, located at 2610 Pearson Drive, in Hudson, WI, which is a short driving distance from Minneapolis. Transportation to and from the workshop will be arranged for all participants.

For accommodation during the International Symposium, the designated hotel offers a special rate of US$149 per night, plus applicable taxes. Please ensure your reservation is made before June 1st. A complimentary hot breakfast will be served daily from 7:00am to 10:00am.

Transportation from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) to the workshop hotel on August 21 and from the workshop to the Depot hotel (site of the 13th ICCP) on August 24 will be provided to all participants.
