8 PCC SESSION 2 FEBRUARY 20, 2019
Moderator: J. Michael Long, P.E., PennDOT BOMO 12:45 pm Managing Assets with a Mix of Fixes James W. Mack, P.E., Cemex Asset management is a strategic plan for managing an organization's infrastructure. It incorporates an economic assessment of tradeoffs between alternative investment options at the network level and the project level to help agencies make cost effective investment decisions in managing their overall system. This presentation will show how agencies can improve their asset management program by using two strategies – 1) Remaining Service Interval (RSI) and 2) Mix of Fixes. RSI is the time until the next rehabilitation of a pavement section and it adds a forward looking time element to the pavement condition data to show how different investment strategies will impact the network. “Mix of Fixes” is an investment strategy that uses a combination of treatment options that have short, medium and long-term lives to smooth out expenditures and lower long-term costs.
1:15 pm Impactful Resilient Infrastructure Science & Engineering Julie M. Vandenbossche, PhD., P.E., University of Pittsburgh The nation’s highway infrastructure has largely been built. Due to its age, we are today challenged by the need for costly rehabilitation and renewal. The high potential for these projects to cause major economic and social disruptions makes it vital that these activities be performed in a more sustainable manner.
The Impactful Resilient Infrastructure Science and Engineering (IRISE) Consortium in the Civil and Environmental Department in the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering is a unique research consortium supported by both public agencies and the private sector design and construction firms that serve them. Its research focus is on producing implementable, innovative solutions to priority highway infrastructure problems faced by its members.
Established in 2018, IRISE is already conducting research on bridge corrosion treatments, internal curing of concrete and rigid pavement design software, and working with its members to identify their research priorities for next year’s program.
1:45 pm Concrete Pavement Surface Characteristics Larry Scofield, P.E., ACPA/IGGA This presentation will focus on grinding and grooving concrete pavements. The purposes and differences between the two will be discussed. In addition, a brief review of the different friction measurement devices will be made. Finally, a review of recently completed or ongoing texture/friction research will be discussed.

Moderator: Leann Sherman, ACEC/PA
8:00 am Pavement Designer Eric Ferrebee, P.E., ACPA/National Many agencies and consultants are tasked with doing pavement designs for a variety of applications and project types. When pavement design is one of many responsibilities for decision makers in small agencies, designers tend to rely on previous designs or old familiar design methodologies to expedite the design process. This often results in minimal consideration for all the different paving solutions that may lead to a more optimal design. PavementDesigner was created to make concrete and cement-based pavement design easy and free. This presentation will discuss the benefits of using PavementDesigner and demonstrate the capabilities of the tool.
8:45 am Concrete Pavement Committee Updates Brent Trivelpiece, PennDOT Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) Concrete Pavement Quality Improvement Committee (CPQIC) update on accomplishments from 2018.

Moderator: Patricia I. Baer, PennDOT BOPD 10:15 am Importance of the PEM Approach Jennifer A. Albert, PhD., P.E., FHWA/PA This presentation will provide an introduction to the topic of Performance Engineered Mixtures (PEM) and highlight the importance of moving toward PEM implementation.
10:30 am Overview of the PEM Approach Gordon L. Smith, P.E., CP Tech Center State Highway Agencies and concrete paving contractors are responding to a new engineering approach to ensure that concrete mixtures achieve their design expectations, Performance Engineered Mixtures (PEM). While owners are primarily concerned with long-term performance, including strength and durability, contractors are focused on constructability issues like workability, setting and early strength. It is the intent of this presentation to introduce the PEM initiative, explore the critical concrete mixture design decisions related to PEM and discuss a new generation of test methods that assess the properties of a mixture that directly affect the potential longevity of a pavement mixture.
10:50 am Agency Perspectives on the PEM Approach Patricia I. Baer, PennDOT
11:10 am Contractor/Producer Perspectives on the PEM Approach David M. Sciullo, P.E., Golden Triangle
11:30 am Performance Engineered Mix Test Methods Jim Grove, P.E., FHWA PEM is a new approach to insuring quality in the concrete paving process. It specifies six properties of concrete that need to be tested and monitored at the time of mixture approval and during construction. Many of the tests are currently being performed in numerous states. Some new tests are called out but prescriptive alternatives are also included as alternatives. This presentation will outline those tests and what information they will provide to an agency.

Anti-Trust Statement The American Concrete Pavement Association, Pennsylvania Chapter (ACPA/PA) assigns the highest priority to full compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the antitrust laws. It is vital that this Conference be conducted in a manner consistent with that policy. If at any time during the course of the Conference, an ACPA/PA member or staff believe that a sensitive topic under the antitrust laws is being discussed, or is about to be discussed, they will so advise the Conference attendees and halt further discussion. As attendees at this Conference, you should likewise not hesitate to voice any concerns that you may have in this regard. It is important to bear in mind that those in attendance at this Conference may be your competitors. Any discussions of commercial matters with one’s competitors may create the appearance of an antitrust violation, even though there is none. Therefore, such discussion should be avoided at all times, before, during and after the Conference.
