12th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: Sustainable Construction Materials, Pavement Engineering 27 - 28 Feb
The School of the Built Environment at Liverpool John Moores University is hosting the 12th Annual International Conference addressing Sustainable Construction Material and Pavement Engineering and Infrastructure. The conference is a continuation of the successful annual events hosted by LJMU since 2002 that have attracted large numbers of speakers from the industry and academia, delegates and exhibitors from the UK, Europe, Middle East, USA, South America, Australia and the Far East. It is aimed at all industry stakeholders with specific interest in the development and management of sustainable infra-structure, environmental protection, energy reduction, developments in concrete and asphalt pavement technologies, highway maintenance and recycling initiatives.
Papers are invited on topics that address: sustainable road construction and maintenance, airport pavements, concrete pavements, procurement, design, testing, developments in bitumen and asphalt materials, waste management, recycled or manufactured aggregates, carbon impact and road surface treatments. Papers should address innovation and wherever possible, the application of new materials and/or techniques. Papers describing work in progress should discuss the short and long-term practical implications of the research being undertaken. Contributions are especially welcomed from clients, specifiers, regulators, local authorities, consultants, contractors, materials suppliers, research and educational organisations/institutions.
The conference will provide a unique setting within which to share and explore new ideas and to review innovations in the practical application of sustainable construction materials and techniques in pavement engineering and highways maintenance. It will consider materials technology, manufacturing techniques and end product characteristics that satisfy ever more demanding design, structural and environmental requirements.
