Conference overview
The 2017 International Journal of Pavements Conference brought pavement specialists together with the 2017 MAIREINFRA Conference in Seoul, South Korea. The three-day program took place from July 19–21, 2017.
Conference resources included information on the venue, location and accommodation, registration, fees and payment, the scientific committee, submitted abstracts, and event advertising.

Conference contacts
The International Journal of Pavements Conference gathers researchers, engineers, and educators focused on the maintenance, rehabilitation, and technological control of pavement structures. Organized as a dedicated scientific track alongside a broader infrastructure congress, the program covers asset management, testing practices, and materials technologies that support preserving roadway and airport pavement networks. Participants come from universities, agencies, and industry, exchanging findings on how pavement condition is measured, evaluated, and extended in service.
The 2017 edition was held jointly with the MAIREINFRA conference in Seoul, South Korea, across a three-day program in July. Holding the pavement track alongside wider infrastructure discussions allowed delegates to move between specialist sessions and broader engineering themes covering transportation networks, asset management, and professional practice. The combined setting encouraged cross-disciplinary exchange, since pavement performance is closely tied to the wider condition of the transport systems that carry traffic loads.
Conference resources typically address the practical elements of an event of this kind: venue and location details, accommodation arrangements, registration procedures, and the composition of the scientific committee. Abstract submissions are reviewed by the committee, with accepted contributions presented during the scheduled sessions and later published in the journal. Presentation materials and supporting documentation are made available to registered attendees, and supporting organizations frequently provide promotional material and sponsorship for the scientific program.
For authors and readers, the journal publishes peer-reviewed papers on pavement design, distress mechanisms, evaluation methods, and rehabilitation strategies, with volumes appearing on regular schedules during the year. Coverage extends to case studies from road and airport owners, methodological papers on condition assessment, and work on preservation techniques that lengthen service life while reducing life-cycle burden. Researchers, students, and practicing engineers can consult published volumes and indexes to locate relevant contributions and track developments across the field.
