Presentation: 

Our Failing Pavements –   A Back to Basics Look at the Design-Performance Relationship

Pavement rehabilitation strategies frequently range from costly overconservative methods to minimalist treatments that do not address the needs of the pavement.  This back-to-fundamentals talk will discuss why our pavements are failing, why we design repairs as we do, and what methods are available to develop suitable and perhaps more cost-effective treatment recommendations to address these failures.

Speaker:

James Signore, PhD, PE, has been in the pavement field for over 25 years. He specializes in pavement design and evaluation, rehabilitation and maintenance, materials assessment, and training. He has experience in designing pavements for many local agencies, Caltrans, and for heavy vehicle loading applications at airfields and ports. He has spent years researching all types of pavement materials, having directed an AMRL certified and Superpave mix design equipped research laboratory and is well versed in state and local pavement practices and specifications. James has taught NHI’s and ASCE’s “Techniques for Pavement Rehabilitation” seminars to practicing engineers for 20 years. He taught graduate courses in pavement engineering at San Jose State University and many of his former students are engineers at Bay Area local agencies.
