What's New
New manual on concrete pavement sustainability
The National CP Tech Center has recently released Sustainable Concrete Pavements: A Manual of Practice. This guide provides a clear, concise, and cohesive discussion of pavement sustainability concepts and of recommended practices for maximizing the sustainability of concrete pavements.
New guide on dowel load transfer systems
The National CP Tech Center has published a guide that summarizes the factors to be considered when designing dowel load transfer systems in concrete pavements, Guide to Dowel Load Transfer Systems for Jointed Concrete Roadway Pavements.
New tech brief on concrete pavement surface characteristics
The National CP Tech Center and the Concrete Pavement Surface Characteristics Program (CPSCP) have published a new tech brief, Variability and Visualization of Tire-Pavement Noise Measurements.
