International Conference on Perpetual Pavement 2014
More than 250 experts from 30 states and 19 state departments of transportation attended the first two International Conferences on Perpetual Pavement (ICPP), held in 2006 and 2009, to discuss optimal design and construction approaches for asphalt pavements designed and built to last longer than 50 years without requiring major structural rehabilitation or reconstruction, and needing only periodic surface renewal in response to distresses confined to the top of the pavement. Following the success of the first two conferences, ICPP 2014 will provide a venue for participants to catch up with developments in this fast-moving field, and for state and local government to learn how to take advantage of the benefits of perpetual pavement.
Perpetual pavements contain a surface layer of high quality asphalt that resists rutting and traffic wear, intermediate layers of high modulus asphalt that provide structure and also resist rutting, and a fatigue-resistant bottom layer for crack resistance. Perpetual pavements are becoming popular with transportation agencies seeking to reduce lifecycle costs and eliminate user impact associated with pavement reconstruction, because maintenance is limited to periodic resurfacing.
The conference, hosted by the Ohio Research Institute for Transportation and the Environment (ORITE) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) with sponsorship from the asphalt industry, will provide a forum for agencies who have constructed perpetual pavements to share their experiences and for those who are considering construction to gain from these experiences. Topics will include: design verification and calibration, modeling, instrumentation, construction, and monitoring. Information provided at this conference will promote the proper design and construction of perpetual pavements.
