CP Tech Center sponsors workshop opportunities

CP Tech Center sponsors upcoming SPS-2 Tech Day and Professors’ Workshop

The National Concrete Pavement Technology Center is involved in the staging of two professional development opportunities scheduled for summer 2018. The first, a one-day event in late May, focuses on sharing recent concrete preservation research. The second, a week-long course in late July, is designed to engage educators with timely information on concrete design, construction, and management. Concrete pavement practitioners of all kinds can register now for these events.

Iowa Concrete Pavement (SPS-2) Tech Day

Speakers from government and industry will report on findings from national surveys on the expected service lives of concrete preservation practices on May 30 in Des Moines, Iowa. Results of the Phase 2 project for the SPS-2 Concrete Preservation Pooled Fund project will be shared with participants. The CP Tech Center is sponsoring the Tech Day, along with the Iowa DOT, FHWA, and four concrete industry agencies. There is no cost to attend the event, but registration is required.

PCA Education Foundation 2018 Professors’ Workshop

Faculty in engineering, architecture, and construction management programs will find much valuable information and interaction at the 2018 Professors’ Workshop July 23 to 27 in Skokie, Illinois. Session topics at the event include:

  • concrete materials properties
  • design, construction, and performance of concrete pavements
  • engineering and economics of concrete structures (buildings and bridges)
  • concrete industry topics of interest.

Attendees will gather on the Portland Cement Association campus to network with other faculty members, view demonstrations, and select presentation tracks to attend on materials, structures, or pavements.
