Ultra-Thin Whitetopping Short Courses

Ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW) is a pavement rehabilitation strategy where a thin layer of concrete is placed on top of an existing hot-mix asphalt pavement.

The ICT will disseminate the findings from its research on UTW through short courses where participants will learn:

1) Structural design and construction guidelines for UTW and appropriate concrete material requirements to achieve a design of the intended service life.
2) How to structurally design UTW pavement types and how to write construction specification to achieve the design life intended.
