PURPOSE & BACKGROUND

Concrete has traditionally been perceived as the higher priced but longer lasting material for streets and parking lots. Now, with asphalt prices up significantly in the last 3 years, concrete is more competitive in terms of initial cost to go along with its long-standing advantage in life cycle costs. Now property owners can enjoy the benefits of concrete including long service life and low maintenance along with environmental benefits including cooler surfaces and reduced lighting requirements.

This course provides detailed instruction on how to design and build concrete streets and parking lots. It provides details of pavement design including traffic loads and pavement stresses. In addition to details of conventional concrete streets and parking lots, this seminar will provide introductions to innovative products such as pervious concrete, concrete overlays and roller compacted concrete.

Concrete properties and thickness design are presented in detail. Recommendations for subgrade support and pavement jointing are provided. Concrete materials are presented including discussions on strength, workability and durability. Recommended specifications are provided. Construction techniques, inspection, testing, maintenance and repair are discussed. Additional detail will be provided on cost estimating, cost -benefit analysis, and life cycle cost. Features of each system will be presented including economic and environmental benefits.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is intended for civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, public works officials, architects involved in the design and layout of concrete streets and parking areas. Concrete contractors and concrete producers will also benefit from this seminar.
