Icpi Foundation for Education and Research

“Financial operations have been managed by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute.”

“The draft Form 990 is prepared by independent accountants, and then provided to the Executive Director who disseminates to the Board of Directors for review.”

“Conflict of interest policy is monitored on a regular basis at board meetings.”

“The Foundation's Executive Director is an employee of Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI), a related entity. ICPI determines the Executive Director's compensation by review and approval by independent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantitation of the deliberation and decision.”

“Documents, policies, and financial statements may be made available upon request to the ICPI Foundation office.”

“The Foundation's mission is to provide educational and research programs designed to benefit the concrete paver industry and users by 1) developing educational resources that optimize manufacturing, construction operations and maintenance, that demonstrate superior value, while encouraging acceptance by the design and construction communities; and 2) supporting, conducting and disseminating research and technical studies that enhance and improve knowledge.”

“University of Missouri PICP Hydraulic Testing and Design (continued): A key deliverable is a design chart that relates testing with ASTM C1781 (for vertical surface inflow) to horizontal flows. C1781 tests will indirectly measure the horizontal inflow capacity of PICP. Generic PICP shapes will be tested and exposed to sediment loads typical to urban parking lots. Fiscal year 2015 PICP Hydraulics Research Update by the University of Missouri - Two final reports were received and sent to Program Committee and ICPI Technical Committee for review. A summary of the results and meaning to the industry will be presented at the Program Committee meeting. Deliverables included two master's theses and an Excel design tool for decided joint width and stone size based on slope and sediment loads. The report and design tool provide very good information on the hydraulic inlet capacity of PICP.”

“LAF Development of Educator Tools for Teaching Landscape Performance (continued): Course materials developed through the Landscape Performance Education Grants will form the basis of a new "Resources for Educators" section on the LAF website, which will include assignments, syllabi and other resources to help bring landscape performance into the classroom to better prepare the next generation of design professionals. During fiscal year 2015, staff received all deliverables from five universities who taught landscape performance in LA classes. These deliverables are posted on the LAF landscape performance website. LAF hosted a webinar on these deliverables and recording is available for review. The material includes some evaluations of permeable pavements. Overall, there is a great range of models used by students to characterize landscape performance. This material is still under review by staff as there is much there LAF Landscape Performance Series website grant: Enhancing the LAF Landscape Performance Series Website with Performance of Segmental Concrete Pavements - This project supports expansion of this website to include information and instruction on measuring performance of segmental pavements. This includes providing case study ideas, curating case study collections, providing input on social media and blogs, and development of online learning modules for on measuring performance of segmental paving products. LAF Landscape Performance Series fiscal year 2015 updates: A meeting is scheduled in September or October to discuss including the following on the LPS website: - Case Study ideas- Olympic Village in Vancouver; another is Elmhurst College, Elmhurst, IL for example. Also would like to discuss universities or others creating case studies if that is on LAFs program. - Collections- Curator support, response to case studies with additional facts. - LPS social media - Blog contributions on research - Training- General discussion on approaches (or LAF staff approaches/thinking). - Example: Khan academy might be possible module example for learning structure/processes”
