The Institute of Cement and Concrete Chile (ICH) and TCPavements have collaborated and will hold a workshop, in 5 cities in Chile, that will allow the attendees to develop practical different case studies using the Optipave software. The goal of this workshop: Attendees will acquire the necessary tools and calculations for concrete pavement structures with alternate uses of short concrete pavement slabs.
The Workshop will be offered in 5 cities throughout Chile, from April 15 to July 2, 2015.
The time: 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (4 hours)
The dates:
- Santiago | April 15
- Temuco | April 28
- Iquique | May 7
- Conceptión | June 23
- Antofagasta | July 2
OptiPave™ is a Mechanistic-based software specifically developed to design concrete pavements with slabs with optimized geometry, for any set of climate, traffic (as Load Spectra), subgrade/subbase layers and material inputs.
The first version was launched in 2009, which was a mechanistic-empirical design program that included distress models that allows to design projects with the most diverse characteristics. It was created in Chile and calibrated with the results of a study conducted in the University of Illinois, USA.
