The June 2016 newsletter of the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center reports the following items:

 

• A report is available on internal curing used for a bridge deck in Buchanan County, IA. The concrete had reduced susceptibility to cracking and, using Life-365, it is predicted that the service life for the section of the bridge with internal curing would be extended by about 20 years.

• The CP Tech Center is developing Web-based workshops to replace some of face-to-face training. The Webinars will be recorded and available online.

• A showcase is planned for August 9 in Salt Lake City on real-time smoothness technology of concrete pavements. Registration is required, but there is fee to attend.

• The center is providing online resources to its popular technical publications to universities and students about designing and constructing concrete pavement systems.
