,Future Directions: Concrete Pavement
Road Map
12 strategic and coordinated research
tracks are contained in the CP Road Map
– The Long-Term Plan for Concrete
Pavement Research and Technology.
This document represents a
comprehensive plan for research and
implementation with input from all major
stakeholders.
Approximately 250 defined research
statements designed to “strategize and
coordinate ” concrete pavement research
efforts.
, Track 1: Performance-Based Concrete
Pavement Mix Design System
The final product of this track will be a practical yet innovative
concrete mix design procedure with new equipment, consensus
target values, common laboratory procedures, and full integration
with both structural design and field quality control – a lab of the
future.
This project is currently underway as a joint effort between
ACPA, PCA, FHWA and State Highway Agencies. A 2-3
year effort is anticipated, but process improvements will
be released as developed.
