Abstract

The objective of this meeting was to present timely and useful information on innovations in the construction and maintenance of transportation facilities. The papers in part 1 deal with trade-offs in design, construction, and maintenance. They provide an introduction to decision analysis and illustrate some capabilities of this technique. Part 2 consists of six papers which cover the latest developments in concrete pavement construction including full-width paving to a 14-inch depth in a singel pass, slip-forming of median barriers, post-tensioned pavement, new techniques for airport construction, uses of fiber-reinforced concrete, and construction of a test track. The four papers in part 3 are devoted to construction innovations in the areas of quality control, embankment construction, use of gabions, and hot-mixed asphalt cooling; the four in part 4 discuss systems building of highway bridges.
