Summary: | This workshop, sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, provides highway agencies with practical information related to the design and construction of new composite pavement systems, which are defined as either: 1) a new hot mix asphalt (HMA) placed over a new Portland cement concrete (PCC) (referred to as HMA/PCC), or 2) a new thin lift of PCC placed on a new lower structural lift of concrete in a wet-on-wet paving process (referred to as PCC/PCC or two-lift concrete pavement systems). The workshop is intended for managers, engineers, and technicians, and focuses on key aspects of the design and construction process for composite pavements based on the research work performed under Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2) Project R21.
