Editor's Notes
Our hearts go out to our fellow Americans who lost loved ones last year on September 11.Along The Road
Along the Road is the place to look for information about current and upcoming activities, developments, trends, and items of general interest to the highway community.Taking Concrete to The Next Level
Are you building a long-lasting, effective road? Two elements contribute to the performance of concrete and the lifetime of pavements the concrete mixture itself and the construction practices engineers use to mix, place, and cure the concrete.Internet Watch
As a transportation professional, you may find yourself spending all day solving transportation problems at work, only to sit in traffic at the end of the day.Getting It Together
Properly designed and constructed concrete pavements can provide 20 to 25 years of initial service life without significant maintenance.Fine-Tuning Innovative Technologies
Field trials around the country are generating results on alternative designs for improving high-performance concrete pavements.On the Road Testing Roads
Few things draw a crowd like an ice cream truck. For engineers, the truck that delivers treats to their neighborhood is the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Mobile Concrete Laboratory.Paving The Way
Constructing concrete pavement that requires less maintenance, saves money, and reduces traffic disruptions is the ultimate feat—the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Helping achieve these goals, HIPERPAV software is a user-friendly, Microsoft Windows® -based computer tool that uses dozens of models to predict the early-age behavior of pavements, which influences long-term performance and durability. Using this state-of-the-art software, pavement planners, designers, and contractors can make smart decisions to ensure high performance over the short-and long-terms.
