The abstract deadline has been extended to June 20, 2016 for the 10th International Conference on the Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields 2017— BCRRA 2017 Conference—to be held at the Divani Caravel Hotel in Athens, Greece June 28-30, 2017. Abstracts should be in English—the official language of the Conference. The abstract text should not exceed 250 words. Maximum 5 key words should be provided. Author names and affiliation must be included. Co-Sponsored by ISCP, the Conference will include aspects of transportation infrastructure focusing on roads, railways and airfields.
Topics will concentrate but not limit to the following:
• Policies on the bearing capacity of roads, railways and airfields
• Unbound aggregate materials and soil properties
• Bound materials characteristics, mechanical properties and testing
• Traffic loading
• Field measurement techniques and analysis tools
• Pavement field evaluation
• Correlation of laboratory and field testing results
• Monitoring and assessment of roads, railways and airfields structures
• Geophysical methods for structural evaluation
• Pavement surface condition and performance assessment
• Maintenance and preservation
• Reinforcement and rehabilitation design
• Analysis of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) data
• Drainage and environmental effects
• Climate change, energy and sustainability
• Full scale testing (ALF, HVS)
• Emerging technologies
• Life cycle analysis
• Non-standard pavements
• Case histories of roads, railways and airfields
