Professor and Head of the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at OSU, Jason Weis<\/a>s, was the recipient of the 2018 American Concrete Pavement Association\u2019s (ACPA) Marlin J. Knutson Award for Technical Achievement<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Marlin J. Knutson award honors the second President and CEO of the ACPA, Marlin J. Knutson, who was a strong advocate for applied research and technology during his lifetime. The award is presented annually to those who have made a meaningful contribution to the development and implementation of technical innovations and practices in the creation of concrete pavements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Weiss was recognized for his applied research focused on the advancement of concrete pavement durability. Encompassed in his research was the application of the ring and dual-ring tests, resistivity test, and the \u201cformation factor.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Many of Weiss\u2019 achievements are important to the Performance Engineered Mixtures program and have become a catalyst to the development of the next generation specification for concrete pavement quality assurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On top of his position as a professor and Head of the School of Civil and Construction Engineering, Weiss also holds the position of the Edwards Distinguished Chair in Engineering, as well as the Director of the Kiewit Center for Infrastructure and Transportation Research.\u00a0<\/span>Prior to joining OSU, Weiss spent 16 years as a faculty member at Purdue University, where he was the Jack and Kay Hockema Professor of Civil Engineering and Director of the Pankow Materials Laboratory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Weiss attended Pennsylvania State University, where he earned his B.A.E. in 1997, and went on to receive his M.S. and Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1999.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some of Weiss\u2019 other research interests include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Congratulations to Jason Weiss on this amazing achievement! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Professor and Head of the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at OSU, Jason Weiss, was the recipient of the 2018 American Concrete Pavement Association\u2019s (ACPA) Marlin J.
