NRMCA Vice President, Pavement Structures, Brian Killingsworth will present two educational sessions on concrete pavements at this year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG Show in Las Vegas, March 4-8. The first session is on Tuesday, March 4, from 3 - 4 p.m. and is titled Concrete Pavement: How to Get the Biggest Bang for the Buck in Street/Local Road Applications. In this session, attendees will learn about the mistakes designers make when designing and specifying concrete pavement in street and local road applications. Killingsworth will also discuss construction and testing pitfalls, and review various pavement design programs and their applicability on different projects/situations.

 

The second session is on Thursday, March 6, also from 3 - 4 p.m. and is titled Recent Advances in the Design and Construction of Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavements. The session will be presented with Wayne Adaska of  the Portland Cement Association and Corey Zollinger of NRMCA Producer member company CEMEX. In this session, attendees will hear why roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavements are used when strength, speed of construction and economy are the main criteria. This presentation covers the fundamentals of mixing and placing RCC, specification requirements and will include case studies that will help explain the key factors in constructing high quality RCC.
