Un tributo al Sr. Juan Pablo Covarrubias
CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT DESIGN
DESAFIANDO EL ESTATUS QUO DEL DISEÑO DE PAVIMENTOS DE CONCRETO
El simposio reúne un amplio número de expertos en el área de los pavimentos rígidos de nivel internacional con el fin de compartir ideas y discutir formas de superar los límites actuales del diseño de pavimentos de concreto. Este año el simposio se enfocará en la modelación y el desempeño de losas cortas de concreto, las cuales tienen el potencial de reducir el costo y el impacto medioambiental de los pavimentos de concreto manteniendo siempre un alto nivel de desempeño.
Expositores: Dr. Jeffery Roesler; Dr. Lev Khazanovich; Dr. Jacob Hiller; Dr. Juan Pablo Covarrubias; Dr. Michael Darter; James Mack; Mauricio Salgado; Dr. Shiraz Tayabji; Dr. Jamshid Armaghani; Juan Pablo Covarrubias; Robert Rodden; Eugene Florescu; Estuardo Herrera; Sherry Sullivan; Dr. Feng Mu; Nigel Parkes
