The third major Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) High-Performance Concrete (HPC) Showcase brought together a record number of interested attendees from private industry. More than one-third of the participants at the June showcase held in Richmond, VA, were from the private sector. In fact, more would have attended but Virginia DOT, FHWA, and the Virigina Transportation Research Council who were cohosts ran out of space 2 weeks prior to the event. There are two more SHRP HPC showcases; one is in Washington state, August 18 to 20, and the second in New Hampshire, September 22 to 23.
