Published on

A Two-Lift concrete Paving (2LCP) workshop was organized as a part of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) project 0-6749: Feasibility Study of Two-Lift Concrete Paving (2LCP). This workshop was conducted at the J. J. Pickle Research Campus (PRC), The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX on May 23rd, 2013. Dr. Jiong Hu, Texas State University, Research Supervisor, and Dr. David Fowler, The University of Texas at Austin, Co-Research Supervisor, co-chaired the workshop. The workshop offered the option of attending in person or remotely through webinar. Fifty-one attendees were present remotely or in person; 28 in person and 23 persons remotely.
