Dr. Dan Offenbacker from the Airport Technology Research & Development (ATR) branch attended the International Conference on Concrete Pavements and the Advanced Workshop on Concrete Pavements on August 21-29, 2024, in Hudson, Wisconsin, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, respectively. Dr. Offenbacker gave a presentation titled Full-Scale Rigid Pavement Traffic Test at the FAA National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF)-Construction Cycle 8, which discussed some of the findings from the most recent rigid pavement experiment at the NAPTF. He also presented ongoing research titled Development of Top-Down Cracking Model for Rigid Airport Pavements, which covered topics related to rigid pavement curling and fatigue damage in concrete pavements. Dr. Offenbacker also contributed to research discussions held at the conference and workshop, providing an airport construction and design perspective.
