Colorado Recap

Greetings From the
President
The conference would
not have been a success without the excellent contributions by the authors
and paper reviewers, the session moderators, the workshop organizers, and the
hard work of the Conference Steering Committee led by Dan Zollinger. Also, The conference
activities were attended by almost 500. The conference activities included a
theoretical workshop on fracture mechanics, the main conference and the
workshops, and a specialty workshop on airport pavement related alkali-silica
reactivity issues. The conference statistics and other details, including
award winners, are provided elsewhere in the newsletter. The ISCP Board also
conferred Honorary Membership to Gordon Ray and Michael (Mike) Darter. The next conference
is targeted for August 2008. We expect to build upon the 8th Conference’s
successes and plan for an even more comprehensive and exciting 9th
conference. The venue is yet to be selected. Finally, the
balloting for the officers and the Board is in progress. A slate, developed
by the Nominating Committee, was recommended. The new officers and the Board
will take office February 1, 2006. The Society, by means
of the international conferences and other activities, is actively engaged in
promoting technology and technical competence to improve concrete pavement
performance and durability in a cost-effective manner. More work is still
needed to continue to optimize the practices for concrete pavements. The
future of concrete pavement technology is bright. Concrete Pavements, with an
excellent service record in both highway and airport applications, will
continue to be an important pavement alternative internationally. Thank you
all for your support of the Society’s activities. stayabji@concretepavements.org ISCP Election
