Winter
has come to an end (at least in I
predicted in my last message that 2007 will present unique opportunities for
participation and professional development in ISCP, and events thus far seem
to be proving this prediction. An
important event related to this is the ISCP mid-year board meeting/strategic
planning retreat and International Conference being held in Whether
or not you responded to the earlier membership survey or are planning to
attend the South African workshop, we welcome your further input on these
issues. Stay tuned, more will
certainly follow. ISCP Strategic Planning Meeting
and Conference in Development
of a strategic plan for ISCP will be the major agenda item at a meeting of
the Board in Call for Nominations of Honorary Members The
Society is seeking nominations for Honorary Membership for consideration by the
Board of Directors at the upcoming mid-year meeting in Nominations
for honorary membership may be submitted to the ISCP Secretary using the
standard nomination form at any time by any ISCP member in good standing. On
July 1 of each year, the ISCP secretary prepares copies of all active
nominations and distributes them to the ISCP Board of Directors for
consideration at their mid-year meeting.
Honorary members will be inducted at the next annual membership
meeting of the ISCP. For more details on the Honorary Member procedures and
details, please go to: http://www.concretepavements.org/Membership/honorary.htm and http://www.concretepavements.org/honorary_members.htm Pre-9th
International Conference Workshop Planned An ISCP-sponsored workshop on fundamental research in
concrete pavements (curling, fracture mechanics, etc.) is currently being
planned for
A similar workshop focusing on cracking and fracture
mechanics in concrete pavements was held at the Copper Mountain Resort in The final proceedings (4.24 MB, pdf
format) of this 2005 workshop can be downloaded from the ISCP website at: http://www.concretepavements.org/8th_Int_conf/final%20workshop%20proceedings.pdf More information regarding location, format, and
registration for this workshop will be available in the months to come.
Ernest
Barenberg was born in Dr.
Barenberg’s primary fields of interest are concrete
pavements, paving materials and railroad track systems. He has made many
contributions to these fields through his research and consulting
activities. For example, he was
instrumental in developing design standards for pavements at He
was responsible for the development of the theoretical model for the analysis
of concrete pavements (ILLISLAB) and a comprehensive model for predicting the
buckling of rails. He was particularly
active in the early development of theoretical/empirical design procedures
for concrete pavements, and the development of premier pavements for long
life and low maintenance. Dr.
Barenberg has been active in several professional societies including the
Transportation Research Board, ASTM, ASCE, and ACI. He is the author or
co-author of over 150 technical papers and or technical reports dealing with
paving materials and the design and performance of transportation
facilities. He has been named as an
emeritus member for Transportation Research Board Committees dealing with
rigid pavement design and with rail-track structure design. He was also a founding member and the first
president of the International Society for Concrete Pavements. Dr.
Barenberg has received numerous major awards over his illustrious career,
including: ·
1998
- ASCE Air Transportation Division Robert Horonjeff
Award for “outstanding contributions to airport paving engineering”. ·
2002
– Named “Educator of the Year” by the American Concrete Pavement Association
for his “more than 45 years of teaching and innovative research in concrete
pavements”. ·
2004
- Designated a lifetime National Associate of the National Academies in
“recognition of extraordinary service to the National Academies in its role
as advisor to the Nation in maters of science, engineering, and health”. In
recognition of his accomplishments and contributions to the concrete paving
profession, Dr. Barenberg was inducted into the ranks of ISCP Honorary
Membership on
International
Conference on Concrete Roads 2007 (ICCR 2007) -
The main objective of the
International Conference on Concrete Roads (ICCR) is to showcase the latest
international trends in concrete road design, construction, rehabilitation
and current research and to update delegates on the latest local developments
with Ultrathin Continuously Reinforced Concrete
Pavements (UTCRCP) and launch the latest version of cncPave.
The conference will provide an ideal opportunity to network with overseas
specialists and local leaders in the concrete roads sector. CPD points will
be available to delegates attending the conference. Additional information and a
registration form for this conference can be found at: http://www.concretepavements.org/ICCRRegistrationform.pdf This event has been endorsed
by the South African National Roads Agency Limited. Update on IBRACON
Workshop on Best Practices Start making your travel plans now. Approximately 30
papers will be presented in October in The workshop will be an excellent opportunity for
professional exchange of ideas at a great location. Also known as the
"Brazilian Venice" due to its many rivers and canals, Workshop registration will open next month. Please visit
the event website (listed below) for more details, including hotel and
tourism information. Authors of papers will be contacted by the editorial
committee by the end of April. The workshop coincides with the construction
of federal highway BR-101 linking http://ibracon1.locaweb.com.br/eventos/pavement.workshop/informacoes.asp International Conference on Concrete Paving Mixes, Construction and
Rehab - Atlanta 2007 Learn how to construct
today’s improved and accelerated concrete pavements at the upcoming
International Conference on Optimizing Paving Concrete Mixtures and Accelerated
Concrete Pavement Construction and Rehabilitation. Scheduled for The
preliminary technical program is given below:
·
Forum 1: Concrete Mixture Optimization ·
Forum 2: Accelerated Construction/Rehab. –
Weekend and Nighttime Closures ·
Forum 3: Accelerated Construction/Rehab. – Full
Closures The conference will address
various aspects of The conference will also
address how today’s concrete pavements are constructed to maintain an
accelerated schedule for roadway projects and lessen the impact of
construction on motorists, community residents, and local businesses.
Accelerated construction minimizes the hazards of working within high-volume
traffic areas, improving safety and productivity. Participants will discuss
best construction practices for accelerated construction and rehabilitation,
including concrete requirements, production rates, and testing needs;
congestion mitigation strategies; contractor and equipment issues; and the
use of short-term versus long-term closures. Additional information on the
conference and online registration are available at www.fhwa.dot.gov/pavement/concrete/2007CPTPconf.cfm The conference registration

Concrete Paving Field Tests
FHWA will underwrite field demonstrations of two-lift concrete
paving technology in a number of states across the country — so indicated an
announcement during a panel on the findings of an International Technology
Scanning Tour on Long Life Concrete Pavements. “FHWA has a program to
demonstrate two-lift concrete paving technology,” notes Suneel
Vanikar, P.E., panel moderator and Concrete Group
Leader, Office of Pavement Technology, FHWA. “We are looking for six to eight
projects in various parts of the country, with a maximum funding of about $1
million for each demo, plus additional money for workshops and showcasing.” Two-lift construction involves the placement of two
wet-on-wet layers, or bonding wet to dry layers of concrete, instead of the
homogenous single layer commonly placed in concrete paving,” reports the
National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (NCPTC) at While two-lift paving is not new to the Source: Concrete Products Magazine http://concreteproducts.com/mag/concrete_fhwa_throws_weight/ National Conference on Pavement
