The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) and the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (CP Tech Center) are continuing the Tuesday webinar series in 2021. ACPA and CP Tech aim to expedite the integration of advanced approaches, technologies, and research into everyday concrete paving practice via training webinars and videos, as well as other resources. The webinars all begin at Noon (Central) / 1:00 p.m. (Eastern) and run for approximately 60 minutes. The next webinar in our series, scheduled for Tuesday May 11th, still has openings.
Continuing Webinars in the 2021 series:
TUESDAY | September 14 | 12:00 Noon Central / 1:00 pm EST (USA)
“Advancements in Performance Engineered Mixtures (PEMs)”
Presentation will cover the current state of the technology to deliver quality concrete pavement consistently. This webinar will provide an overview of the technology, as well as innovative test methods that are integral to the successful implementation of PEM.

APRIL: “Understanding the Value of Competition”
Presenters: Dr. Jeremy Gregory, MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub; and Leif Wathne, ACPA
MAY: “An Introduction to Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA)“
Presenters: Dr. Tara Cavalline, PhD, PE, University of North Carolina/Charlotte and
Matt Fonte, Castle Rock Construction Co.
JUNE: “Roller Compacted Concrete for Roadway Applications”
Presenters: Fares Abdo, P.E., Morgan Corporation
Andy Johnson, South Carolina DOT / Southeast Cement Promotion Association (SCPA)
Chris Carwie, I-20 / I-59: AG Peltz, Contractor / Case Study
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is now being used increasingly on roadway applications. Learn how RCC offers many of the same benefits as conventional concrete including long term durability, with improved constructability in the urban environment at low installation costs. Discussions will cover how RCC is being used in roadway and other applications.
JULY: “Innovation with Concrete Overlays for DOT’s and Municipalities“
Covers how concrete overlays have been recognized by the FHWA’s Every Day Counts Program, and this webinar will share insights about how they are used as innovative, inexpensive solutions to extend pavement life.
AUGUST: “Resiliency Proper Planning Prevents Disaster and Aids in Crisis Management—A Concrete Perspective“
Presentation will cover how studies have shown that for every dollar you invest as part of disaster planning, you will save 5-6 dollars (on average) when you are in crisis management mode. From properly designing evacuation routes, to ensuring emergency vehicles have the ability to respond, resiliency using concrete helps road agencies be better prepared. Concrete Roads are a cost-effective resilient solution.
