The 7th China-Japan Workshop on Pavement Technologies was held in HIT from August 29th to 30th. Scholars and engineers from the two countries exchanged their experience and views on the latest advances and technologies on the paving of roads. HIT Vice- President GUO Bin attended and addressed the opening ceremony.
Since China and Japan both are Eastern Asian countries with similar climates, the roads of both countries are in a very similar condition. To further promote road design, construction and maintenance in two countries and to encourage extensive exchange and cooperation in relation to pavement technologies between China and Japan, pavement scholars and researchers from the two countries jointly established the China-Japan Workshop on Pavement Technologies. It is co-organized by China and Japan every two years.
The China-Japan Workshop on Pavement Technologies has previously been held in Tongji University, Southeast University and Chang’An University. The 7th China-Japan Workshop on Pavement Technologies was jointly hosted by the School of Transportation Science and Engineering of HIT and the Japan Society of Civil Engineers. There were nearly one hundred delegates including pavement researchers, scholars and postgraduates from the China University of Petroleum, the Research Institute of the Highway Ministry of Transport, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, CHUO University and, NEXCO Research Institute. During the two day seminar, delegates learned about the latest developments and presented their latest research in various areas including asphalt cement, cement concrete pavement, bridge deck pavement, energy conservation and emission reduction, pavement structural behavior, road function and driving behavior and, road maintenance.
