  1. ICPI Update SEPT Meeting May 2011

  2. 2009 Segmental Pavement SalesPavers, Permeable Pavers, Paving SlabsMillions of Square Meters

  3. U.S. & Canada Sales Permeable Pavers: 20-25% growth/year!

  4. Sales Distribution Trends ICPI 2010-2013 Strategic Plan: Focus on Commercial & Municipal Markets

  5. Interlocking Concrete Pavements Design Tools: National Structural Design Standard American Society of Civil Engineers ASCE T&DI 58-10 Based on 1993 AASHTO Guide Designs up to 10 million 80kN lifetime ESALs Maximum 70 kph Design tables for base options: Granular, CTB, ATB, AC Revised ICPI Tech Spec 4: Includes above bases + concrete

  6. Structural Design Resources • PowerPoint Presentation on ASCE standard Industry technical sales training Earns professional engineer CE credits • Excel-based Structural Design Software Inputs: Traffic (ESALs), soils, drainage, AASHTO reliability, initial/terminal serviceability, 80 mm thick pavers on 25 mm bedding Outputs: Granular, CTB, ATB, AC base thicknesses

  7. Maintenance/Management Tools Draft ASTM Standard on ICP Condition Surveys Similar to ASTM D6433 for asphalt & concrete Integrate into city pavement management programs Enables asphalt/concrete/ICP performance comparisons

  8. ICP Asset Management • PowerPoint Presentation Industry Technical Sales Training Pavement management consultants Municipal roads/public works officials • Pavement Condition Survey Software Calculates PCI Identifies maintenance needs Programmed into city maintenance budget Why: Infrastructure assets require asset management systems to support bond ratings Decreases “one more pavement” to babysit

  9. Contractor Education Tools • New Commercial Paver Technician Course • 2 day course with exam • Promoted in ICPI specifications Pavement Design Overview Stabilized bases Bedding sand Overlays & inlays Rigid applications Roof plaza decks & parking garages Sidewalks & crosswalks Concrete grid pavements Commercial installation tools, mechanical installation Contracts Overview Construction details, plan reading estimating Marketing your company

  10. University Education Tools • University curriculum for civil engineers 2007-09: workshops for 35 civil engineering professors – “integrative” course resources • New curriculum for landscape architects

  11. ICP Research • Bedding Sand Research – ICPI Tech Spec 17 • Crosswalk Accelerated Traffic Study Guidelines on Assemblies & Lifetime Design ESALs Tested Concrete, asphalt, granular bases on truck traffic Sand & sand-asphalt (bitumen) bedding Various edge restraints Lifetime Design ESALs in Millions Bitumen on concrete: 7.5M Sand set on concrete: 2M Sand set on saw cut asphalt base and edges: 1.5M Sand set on aggregate with concrete headers: 1.5M

  12. Design Tools: Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP) • Permeable Design Pro Software Integrates hydrologic & structural design PowerPoint for sales training PICP Manual Completely revised & updated Fall 2011 release ASCE PICP Standard Project starts summer 2011 4 year process Sister publication to ASCE T&DI 58-10

  13. PICP Maintenance Tools • Conference, city & state presentations • Maintenance research: US EPA & Universities • ICPI Maintenance Workshops

  14. PICP Cold Climate Research – 2 years monitoring University of Hew Hampshire Hood House Drive, University of New Hampshire

  15. Hood House Drive After Before

  16. PICP Road Adjacent Asphalt Road

  17. PICP Contractor Education Tools • PICP Installer Technician Course • 1½ day course • ICPI trained instructors • Member sponsored • ICPI trained instructors • Promoted in ICPI specs Job planning & documentation Job layout & estimating Soil & site characteristics Subbase & base materials Edge restraints Bedding & jointing materials Selection & installation of pavers Maintenance

  18. Other initiatives Caltrans ICP and PICP specs & design manuals Influence city/state agencies 17 years of ICP magazine ASTM & CSA standards participation Lobbying U.S. Congress ….and more Thank you! dsmith@icpi.org www.icpi.org
