Superpave: Building Roads for the 21st Century
April 10-12, 2000, Denver, CO
Sponsored by the Asphalt Institute and the Federal Highway Administration,
this conference is a follow-up to the 1998 "Superpave: Today and
Tomorrow" forum in St. Louis, MO. Sessions will focus on materials,
design and production, construction and quality control/quality assurance,
and performance. Practitioners experienced in the use of the Superpave
system will present their findings.
