Future Research Planning for Segmental Concrete Pavements

Recipient: ICPI Foundation for Education and Research
Grant: $85,000
Completion: 2024
Project Summary: 35

Background and Need
The mission of the ICPI Foundation is to fund targeted educational and research programs, as well as industry tools, that benefit the segmental concrete paving industry. To support this mission, a focus group was assembled to bring together representatives from academia, the private sector, government agencies, industry, and Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association (CMHA) staff. With David K. Hein, P.Eng. as the facilitator, this group concentrated on various concrete pavement solutions, including conventional and permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP), concrete paving slabs, concrete planks, and concrete grids.
