Abstract:
This article presents an overview of the new publication Integrated Materials and Construction Practices for Concrete Pavement: A State-of-the Practice Manual, a 350-page manual produced through a multi-year, FHWA-sponsored effort at Iowa State University’s National Concrete Pavement Technology Center. The manual provides both a training tool and reference to help engineers, inspectors, and contractors optimize the performance of concrete for pavements by bridging the gap between recent research and practice.
