NRMCA recently joined the Idaho Concrete and Aggregate Producers Association (ICAPA) in sponsoring a program in Boise titled "Performance Based Concrete and Concrete Overlays For Parking Lots." NRMCA Vice President, Local Paving, Don Clem, PE,  provided several presentations on concrete parking lots, including overlays, as well as the NRMCA DAP program. Clint Hoops, a structural materials engineer for the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), provided a presentation entitled "Performance Based Concrete."
