CALIFORNIA PAVEMENT PRESERVATION CENTER CP2
CENTER
  • Caltrans established the California Pavement
    Preservation Center at CSU, Chico on July 1,
    2006
  • Purpose is accommodating the needs for pavement
    preservation services to governmental agencies
    and the industry sector

http//www.cp2info.org/center
13
MISSION STATEMENT OF CP2 CENTER
  • To serve as a leader in a partnered effort
    between government, industry and academia
    participants to advance and improve pavement
    preservation practices through education,
    innovation, applied and practical research,
    technology transfer, and implementation.

14
CP2 CENTER OBJECTIVES
  • Serve as a technical resource for pavement
    preservation activities within the state of
    California.
  • Educate others about the benefits of pavement
    preservation in partnership with the Caltrans and
    industry. This would involve educational programs
    at the university as well as distant learning
    opportunities.
  • Enhance pavement preservation knowledge through
    research and training.
  • Advise and assist others to establish a pavement
    preservation program.

15
CIWMB PROJECT OBJECTIVES
  • Assist in the creation and expansion of
    sustainable markets of RAC and CE applications of
    waste tires through education
  • Teach civil engineering professionals and
    students to use RAC and apply waste tire in other
    Civil Engineering projects

16
PROJECT SCOPE
  • Continuing education of engineers and technicians
    in using waste tires in RAC and other CE
    applications through developing and delivering
    short courses.
  • Curricular development of using RAC and other CE
    applications of waste tires for California
    Universities and Community Colleges that offer CE
    curricula

17
CONTINUE EDUCATION
Task 1 Identify key sources of information
  • Rubberized Asphalt Concrete RAC
  • Work by MACTEC, RPA, FHWA, Caltrans, and others.
  • Civil Engineering Applications
  • Work by Dana Humphrey, Richard Holman, and others

18
CONTINUE EDUCATION
Task 2 Develop detailed course outlines
  • Rubberized Asphalt Concrete RAC
  • RAC 101 design, construction, performance,
    benefits, cost effectiveness, case studies.
  • Civil Engineering Applications
  • Lightweight fills, backfills, levees, sound
    reductions, etc.

19
CONTINUE EDUCATION UNITS
Task 3 Develop presentations and reference
manuals - Using our staff with technical advise
from MACTEC and Professor Humphrey. Task 4
