Deterioration of Concrete A basic understanding of the underlying causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to evaluating concrete structures and selecting the method to successfully make repairs. Symptoms or observations of a deficiency must be differentiated from the actual cause of the deficiency, and it is imperative that causes – rather than symptoms – be... Learn More

Skid-resistant Airport Pavement Surfaces With the introduction of turbojet aircraft, braking performance on pavement surfaces has become more critical. Under certain conditions, hydroplaning or unacceptable loss of traction can occur, resulting in poor braking performance and possible loss of directional control. This course contains guidelines and procedures for the design and construction of skid-resistant pavement,... Learn More
