FHWA's Long-Term Pavement Performance Program
The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program was initiated in 1987 and is the largest pavement study ever conducted.
The program has monitored more than 2,500 test sections on in-service highways located throughout the United States and Canada.
The program's goal is to understand how and why pavements perform as they do. As highway agencies transition to a performance based approach to managing highway investments, this goal is more important then ever.

ASCE 2014 Spring Seminar - Water Resources for Shale Oil & Gas Operations in Ohio
2014 Spring Seminar
Water Resources for Shale Oil & Gas Operations in Ohio
At the end of 2013, Ohio had exceeded 1,000 permits for horizontal wells in the Utica shale formation. That number may triple in the next couple years. As demand for water to support operations increases, methods and decision-making processes of finding, storing and conveying fresh water are being developed. Regulations governing the storage and disposal of water are evolving. Technologies are being tested and employed to recycle and reuse wastewater. Learn about these topics from knowledgeable speakers with experience in the industry and management of Ohio’s water resources.
