Completed in October 2018, the project was opened to traffic in early November. This route will ultimately

connect to I-68 in Maryland.

We congratulate Don Detwiler,

Chairman of New Enterprise

Stone & Lime Company, who

was named the 50th recipient of

the 2018 Hartmann-Hirschman-

Egan (HHE) Award, one of the

ACPA National’s highest and

most coveted awards. The award recognized

Detwiler’s distinguished career and lifelong

service to ACPA and the concrete pavement

industry nationally and locally. He led the way in

getting the Northeast Chapter, ACPA’s first

chapter, off the ground in 1987; he also served as

their first Chairman of the Board.

Don graduated from Juniata College in 1964 and

joined the family business at a time when New

Enterprise began paving concrete roadways.

Under his guidance and direction, his company

achieved the Mile-a-Day Club on several

occasions. His company paved over one-million

square yards in one construction season. During

his 50-plus years with New Enterprise, it was

estimated that Don was involved with constructing

over 14 million square

yards of concrete

pavement!

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.

2:15 pm Composite Pavement Technologies Kurt D. Smith, P.E., APTech

This presentation provides an overview of general design and construction

considerations for composite pavement systems, including selected highlights from

several recent composite paving projects that were supported under an FHWA/SHRP2 implementation program.

(STIC), the Construction and Materials Technical Advisory Group (TAG), and the current STIC Initiative to reduce the occurrence of concrete scaling. This initiative plans to

develop and deploy: Certified concrete finishers training using existing nationally recognized programs. A training and education module for materials and construction

inspection personnel. The goal of this program is to improve the quality of flat work finishing and is being modelled after the Delaware Department of Transportation’s

(DelDOT) recently enacted program. The training module for construction inspection personnel is being piloted this month in the PennDOT District 4 and District 5 Winter Schools.

4:15 pm Alternative Sources for Fly-ash Farshad Rajabipour, PhD., P.E., Penn State University Recently, the availability of consistent and high-quality fly ash and slag for use in concrete has been a nationwide concern. This presentation introduces two unconventional

but regionally available pozzolan sources: calcined clay, and FBC fly ash. Each source is evaluated to determine its compliance with AASHTO and ASTM specifications and its effect on the performance of concrete mixtures.

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.

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.

PITTSBURGH AREA

CHAPTER -ACI

The theme of The American Concrete Institute (ACI)

International, “Progress through Knowledge” has inspired the

members of the Pittsburgh Area Chapter to work toward a more informed industry for over 50

years. The Chapter was founded in 1962 by a group of dedicated

people led by Art Livingood, Andy Fertal, and Bob Zerns.

Their vision has helped influence the shape of concrete

construction in Pittsburgh as well as the tri-state area.

Today our chapter has over 200 members. We hold monthly

member meetings from October to March and every April we

hold our annual Awards Banquet. We offer ACI

Certification and conduct several classes and test hundreds of

individuals each year. For more information on these programs, membership opportunities and upcoming events, please go to

www.acipgh.com.

The Pittsburgh Area Chapter continues to grow and we would

like to thank those who have supported us. We extend a

special thanks to our sustaining and corporate member

companies who have made it possible to achieve this success.

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.
