3. Our Mission is… • To develop new scientific knowledge and technology for the development, maintenance and operation of airports • “Improve ability to make good decisions” • How do we do this? • By conducting research in cooperation with government, industry and the private sector • Who do we impact? • Enriching the engineering community through technology transfer • Educating a diverse student population • Leading the public to appreciate its investment in airport infrastructure.

4. OMP, FAA and UIUC in Partnership OMP FAA Common technical goalsComplementary outreachLeveraged effort Enhanced visibility

7. OMP – 2007 Program • Sub-grade Support and Stabilization –Tutumluer/ Thompson [OMP Contact: Ross Anderson] • Materials/Potassium Acetate and ASR –Struble [OMP Contact: Michael Vonic] • Effect of Climate and Concrete Constituents on Airfield Rigid Pavement Performance –Roesler /Lange [OMP Contact: Ross Anderson] • Field Validation of Constructed Subgrade and Pavement –Popovics [OMP Contact: Ross Anderson] • Reflective Cracking and Improved Performance of Grooved Asphalt – Buttlar / Al-Qadi [OMP Contact: Dave Peshkin] • Airport Wildlife Safety Management –Branham/Herricks [OMP Contact: Larry Martin] • Outreach Program –David Lange/Eve Earles/Minosca Alcantara [OMP Contact: Michael Boland]

8. Benefits to OMP in 2006 • Illuminate technical issues…save money…improve decisions! • Specification language for lime modification and lime stabilization, providing for improved construction quality and reduced potential for weather-related construction delays. • Improved specification language to achieve longer pavement service life with more durable aggregates. • Improved specification language to reduce shrinkage cracking potential. • 33 Tech Notes covering wide range of issues • Value engineering exercise for concrete paving, with potential to save money on the 9L-27R new north runway • Ongoing study of soil and turfgrass will develop improved decisions that will save money

9. Kickoff Program Meeting • Our goals for today: • Report progress • Improve connections of projects to OMP activities • Clarify goals of 2007 work plan
