The Conference Standing International Advisory Committee and the Organizing Committee invite delegants to submit a paper and to participate in the International Conference on Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction (AM3P) to be held April 16-18, 2018 at the Marriott Marquis-Doha, in Doha, Qatar. The AM3P 2018 conference is inspired from the legacy of the previous four 3D-FEM conferences which focused on mechanistic pavement analysis and design aspects, most recently held in Athens, Greece with more than 200 published papers. The AM3P series of conferences at regular intervals is intended to continue the same theme: i.e. models; experimental methods to measure properties and determine model parameters; implementation and utilization for material or pavement prediction; etc.
Technical papers: Technical papers that focus on measurement and modeling of materials and pavements are invited. Papers are limited to four pages. The accepted papers will be published in the peer-reviewed conference proceedings published by Taylor and Francis. For the paper format, please download from the conference website: www.am3p.com.
