2021 Special International Symposium on Concrete Pavements:
A Tribute to Juan Pablo Covarrubias, Sr.
When: Mar 25, 2021 09:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)
The International Society for Concrete Pavements (ISCP) is proud to organize the 2021 Special International Symposium on Concrete Pavements: A Tribute to Juan Pablo Covarrubias, Sr. on March 25, 2021 9:00 a.m. – 12:20 pm. The symposium brings together a wide range of international experts in the field of rigid pavements to share ideas and discuss ways to push the boundaries of concrete pavement design. The theme of this year’s symposium is “Challenging the Status Quo of Concrete Pavement Design” and will focus on modeling and performance of short concrete slabs, which have the potential to reduce the cost and environmental impact of rigid pavements while still providing a high level of performance.
The symposium will be co-chaired by Dr. Jeffery Roesler, University of Illinois and Dr. Lev Khazanovich, University of Pittsburgh. The symposium is being co-sponsored by ACPA, CPTech Center, NRMCA and ICH.
