The concrete pavement design and construction technology group focuses on innovative designs and construction techniques that provide immediate solutions to specific Portland cement concrete pavement problems. The range of technologies addresses water in pavements, faulting joints and cracks, paving under limited time restrictions, pavement durability and economy, and methods of achieving improved overall performance through performance-related specifications.

Several projects incorporating emerging technologies for design and construction are available. These include high-performance rigid pavement design and construction methods, various concrete pavement texturing techniques to minimize noise and enhance safety, and evaluation and implementation of performance-related specifications for concrete pavements.
