Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Research

Who We Are

The Pavement Materials and Construction Team is part of the Office of Infrastructure Research and Development within FHWA's Office of Research, Development, and Technology. Team members have expertise in geology, petrography, materials, pavement design, construction and rehabilitation.

What We Do

The Concrete Pavement Technology Program (CPTP) consists of a series of studies to systematically investigate various aspects of PCCP material properties and behaviors to enhance the construction and performance of concrete pavements in the field. Our objective is to develop and implement a set of guidelines to enable the industry to select materials, construct highway structures, design mixes, and perform recycling, repair, and rehabilitation of existing PCCP that will result in high performance concrete pavements.

HIPERPAV - FHWA's Software for Concrete Pavement Construction

HIPERPAV is a user-friendly, Windows-based program that provides guidance on the design and construction of concrete pavement. A two-module program, HIPERPAV contains a set of guidelines that will help the end-user predict and thus prevent potential pavement performance problems. [ more... ]

HIPERPAV II is the next generation of the HIPERPAV software program.
