TRB Webinar: Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavements

TRB conducted a webinar on Monday, January 23, 2017, from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET on roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavements, which has not been widely used by U.S. highway agencies, but may provide benefits like cost-effectiveness and ease of construction. This webinar focused on information in Technical Brief FHWA-HIF-16-003.* The presenters will discuss RCC materials, mixtures, designs, and uses.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committees on Design and Rehabilitation of Concrete Pavements, Concrete Pavement Construction and Rehabilitation, and Pavement Rehabilitation. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.
