Concrete Pavement Progress www.acpa.org A C P A N E W S 26 ACPA IS URGINGMEMBERS AND AIRPORT OWNERS’ REPRESENTATIVES to register soon for ACPA’s Airport Pavement Design &ConstructionWork- shop. Because of the high demand, ACPA seats and hotel rooms are going quickly. The workshop this year will be held at the Em- bassy Suites in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. from Oct. 22 through 24. One of the popular highlights of the workshop is straightforward, often spirited discussions about concrete pavement specifications for airports, no- tably the FAA’s P-501 spec and the UFGS 32 13 14.13 spec used for US Army Corps of Engineers and other Tri-Services projects. Seats are going quickly, sodon’tmiss theopportunity toparticipate in this popular training and tech transfer event. During the months-long process of marking up the FAA’s 5370-10 standard, now known as FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-10H, Mitchell says the PCA representatives, Al Innis, and ACPAAirport Task Force provided excellent support and expertise. He adds that members of the ACPA Airport Task Force also participated in the reviews of the specs related to concrete pavement construction. He adds that Martin Holt of Interstate Highway Construction, Angela Folkestad of the Colorado- Wyoming Chapter-ACPA, and Harold Honey of Michael Baker International participated in a comprehensive review and mark-up of the standard. The net result of this team effort is a standard that now includes FDR specification language, which allows engineers to easily and quickly incorporate the FDR strategy into airport rehabilitation plans, while at the same time, streamlining the overall pavement rehabilitation process. The ultimate beneficiaries are the airports, airport owners’ representatives, and of course, the taxpaying public.

FDR with cement increase the structural capacity of the new roadway by providing a stronger, more consistent base, the CP Tech Center says. Other organizations included: Airports Consultant Council, American Society of Civil Engineers, Asphalt Institute, Geosynthetic Materials Association, and National Stone Sand Gravel Association.
