Henry Ford once said those who stop learning are “old” while those who keep their minds afresh, continually learning, are forever “young.”

What better way to live out the wise words of Ford Motor Company’s founder than to attend the upcoming civil engineering research conferences?

The 2019 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) International Airfield and Highway Pavements Conference will provide opportunity to interact and exchange information with worldwide leaders in the fields of highway and airport pavements.

The July 21-24 will take place at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza in Chicago.

For more information, contact 1-800-548-2723 or registrations@asce.org.

The International Symposium on Pavement, Roadways, and Bridges Life Cycle Assessment will feature recent developments in life cycle assessment tools and even usage of environmental product declarations, public policy and strategic issues, significant projects, and discussions concerning the state of the industry and profession.

The symposium stems from the initial 2010 workshop and symposium in Davis, Calif., followed by the inaugural 2017 conference at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

“This conference is expanding from just pavements to also include highway bridges and roadside features,” said John Harvey, University of California-Davis professor.

The June 3–6, 2020, conference will be held in Sacramento, Calif.

Abstracts are due June 15, 2019.

The 11th International Conference on Managing Pavement Assets is all about pavement management. Topics will include how to improve pavement quality, the latest in pavement management, managing airport pavement, innovation, and much more.

The Aug. 23-26, 2020, conference will be held in Chicago.

Those interested in submitting an abstract must do so by May 6, 2019. For more information, contact 515-294-7110 or smadi@iastate.edu.

The Fourth International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics will surely be a meeting of the minds, where leading civil engineers will be bridging the gap between geotechnical engineering and pavement/railway engineering.

Themes range from mechanistic-empirical design, optimized geomaterial, geosynthetic transportation application, intelligent construction, and much more.

The Aug. 30 through Sept. 2, 2020, conference will take place in Chicago.

Abstracts are accepted through June 16, 2019. For more information, contact 217-333-8637 or citl-ictg2020@illinois.edu.

The Sixth International Conference on Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) will focus on the work of researchers and professions who have contributed to APT to innovate transportation infrastructure.

The keynote speaker is ICT Director Imad Al-Qadi, and conference themes will concentrate on establishing APT facilities, testing smart and multi-functional pavements, APT on airfield pavements, asphalt pavements, concrete pavements, innovative and sustainable materials; and much more.

The Sept. 21-23, 2020 conference will be held in Nantes, France.

Abstracts are accepted through June 17, 2019. For more information, contact apt2020@ifsttar.fr.

 

 

Registration is now open for the July 21-24 2019, ASCE International Airfield and Highway Pavements Conference in Chicago.

 

The International Symposium on Pavement, Roadways, and Bridges Life Cycle Assessment occurs June 3-6, 2020, in Sacramento, Calif.

 

Registration for the 11th International Conference on Managing Pavement Assets opens February 2020.

 

The International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics takes place every four years. Other locations include: Nottingham, U.K. (2008); Sapporo, Japan (2012); and Guimarães, Portugal (2016).
