Course Description:

This workshop will include important information on new cement-based applications for pavements, including Pervious Concrete, Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC), and the Full-Depth Recycling (FDR) of old asphalt pavements. Topics will include applications, mix designs, materials engineering, and construction. The perspectives of industry, government, and contractor personnel will all be provided to help round out the discussions on these new applications.
