Check out this segment from 60 Minutes about America’s neglected infrastructure – why our roads, bridges, airports and rail are outdated and need to be fixed. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/falling-apart-america-neglected-infrastructure/  

Pete Schmalzer gave two presentations at the 23rd annual FWD User’s Group Conference in Indianapolis (October 6-8 2014). The first was an introduction to commonly used backcalculation programs, given at the workshop on backcalculation. The second presentation was entitled “Interpretation and Visualization of Surface Modulus Data”. Great job representing NCE!

NCE is working with the University of Michigan to advance the innovative method for calculating curl and warp from measured longitudinal profile demonstrated in the study of a PCC Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) project in Arizona (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/research/infrastructure/pavements/ltpp/12068/), and for estimating the portion of roughness that can be attributed to curl and warp each time the profile is measured.  This…
