CP—AID | Concrete Pavement—Accelerated Implementation and Deployment Resources
Since its inception in 2000, the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (CP Tech Center) has been uniting public agencies, industry, and academia around the goal of developing and implementing innovative technologies, long-life concrete infrastructure, and cost-effective solutions. As part of its efforts to make concrete better, the CP Tech Center has won cooperative agreements with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
These FHWA cooperative agreements, each lasting five years, aim to harness the imagination of experienced experts and energetic emerging leaders to rapidly move innovations through implementation to improve everyday practice and deliver the right messages into the hands of the right people through effective tech-transfer practices across all practitioner levels. A one-page summary of accomplishments from the most recently completed cooperative agreement provides a brief overview of the many deliverables produced in five years and the scope of the work involved.
Deliverables and details specific to the cooperative agreements can be found at their respective research pages as follows:
- Technology Transfer of Concrete Pavement Technologies (2012–2018)
- Advancing Concrete Pavement Technology Solutions (2018–2024)
- Development and Deployment of Innovative Technologies for Concrete Pavements (2024–2029)
The deliverables for these agreements are also all collected below to allow for easier access to these concrete pavement resources by type and by topic. Additional resources and publications also can be found at the FHWA’s Concrete Pavements page.
