Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Concrete Pavements
Thursday | August 22, 2019 | 12:00-13:30 CST
13:00-14:30 DST | 17:00-18:30 UTC
• BASICS of LCA for CONCRETE PAVEMENTS
Eric Ferrebee, Technical Services Engineer-ACPA
Creating sustainable infrastructure requires evaluation and balancing of economic, environmental, and societal impacts. Evaluating economic impacts is fairly well understood and accepted through the process of Life-Cycle Cost Analysis. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools allow users to quantify the environmental impacts. A number of Pavement LCA tools have been recently developed, which can be used to evaluate environmental impacts of a roadway from the creation of the raw materials all the way to the end of the pavement’s life, i.e., cradle to grave. The first part of the webinar will introduce what a Pavement LCA includes and look at some of the tools that are available to evaluate the benefits and tradeoffs of constructing concrete pavement.
• CONCRETE PAVEMENT LCA EXAMPLES
Tim Smith, Senior Director-Built Environment, Transportation and Public Works-Cement Association of Canada and Director-ISCP
This presentation will review the use of the Athena Pavement LCA tool for a roadway over a user-selected analysis period. The presentation will review how the user is able to enter their own pavement structures to determine the environmental impact over nine life cycle impact assessment measures. In addition, the presentation will show how the user can look at various types of pavements to determine the LCA for each product.

Joint Durability and Repair
Thursday, JUNE 27, 2019 12:00-1:30 CST / 17:00-18:30 UTC
Joint Deterioration Causes and Prevention
Dr. Peter Taylor, CPTech Center, Iowa State University, and ISCP Board of Directors
The discussion will review the causes behind premature joint deterioration, including freezing and thawing, and oxychloride formation. Guidance will be provided on what can be done to reduce the risk of its occurrence, and how mixtures can be evaluated before construction starts. Implementation and long-term performance of partial-depth repair and other PCC preservation methods.
Techniques, Materials and Resources for Repair and Restoration of Joints
Tom Burnham, P.E., Minnesota Department of Transportation, and ISCP Board of Directors
Partial-depth repairs and other preservation methods are important tools that can be used to address construction issues, maintain good service and lengthen the life of concrete pavements. This second part of the webinar will review proven techniques, materials and resources related to concrete pavement restoration, as well as highlight case histories and ongoing research being conducted to improve processes and address new challenges.

Internal Curing for Concrete Pavement
Webinar has been postponed. ISCP/ACPA will work on rescheduling at a later date.
Armen Amirkhanian, Asst. Professor-University of Alabama and Director-ISCP
and
Jeff Roesler, Professor-University of Illinois and President-ISCP
• Basic Mechanisms, Tests, and Research Overview – Armen Amirkhanian, Asst. Professor-University of Alabama & Director-ISCP
• Overview of selected projects utilizing IC for concrete pavement – Jeff Roesler, Professor-University of Illinois & President-ISCP
As concrete hydrates and enters service, it experiences loss of water through multiple mechanisms. Internal curing provides an additional source of water within the concrete to reduce the effects of water loss through hydration and the environment. This can significantly enhance the durability of a concrete mixture and extend the service life of a concrete pavement or bridge deck. This webinar will be divided into two parts. The first portion will cover the basics of how internal curing works, how it is accounted for in the mixture design process, test methods that can be used to provide quality control and quality assurance, and a brief overview of ongoing research. The second part of the webinar will review several recent field projects that have utilized internal curing to enhance the performance of concrete pavements.
