Background and Need
From 1980 to 2003, seven triennial international industry conferences and three workshops had been held in various places around the world. These were organized by universities and/or industry associations. They generated several hundred technical papers, some of which have used by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) in developing technical literature. As the first project for the ICPI Foundation, the initiative was taken to generate additional technical papers as resources for ICPI. The ICPI membership donated $390,500 in sponsorships to hold a one-day preconference workshop for design professionals and a three-day technical conference followed by a technical tour of the Port of Oakland.
