This conference covered a variety of research topics on transportation infrastructure and materials, including pave- ment mechanics, geomechanics, highway materials, ground improvement, recycling materials, maintenance and rehabil- itation, intelligent construction, infrastructure management, intelligent transportation system, and risk and reliability. Over 200 participants from 11 countries participated in this conference, which included 13 presentation sessions, 2 workshops, and 1 forum.展开更多
