Researchers at the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (CP Tech Center) have completed the Manual of Practice for Sustainable Concrete Pavements which introduces the concepts of sustainability and why sustainability is critical to the concrete paving industry. The publication, which was funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), was reviewed by concrete pavement experts, including Brian Killingsworth and Lionel Lemay of NRMCA. The manual focuses of the following topics:

• Pavement Sustainability Concepts
• Designing Sustainable Concrete Pavements
• Sustainable Concrete Pavement Materials
• Construction
• The Impact of the Use Phase
• Concrete Pavement Renewal
• End of Life Strategies
• Concrete Pavements in the Urban Environment
• Assessment of Pavement Sustainability
• Conclusions and Future Developments

The CP Tech Center is part of the Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University. To download copies of the Sustainable Concrete Pavements: Manual of Practice, please visit the NRMCA Web site. For more information, contact Brian Killingsworth at bkillingsworth@nrmca.org or 830-438-2690.
