Professor Koichi Maekawa Professor Koichi Maekawa, Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Tokyo, Japan, gave the International Lunch presentation at The Concrete Convention and Exposition, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, March 25, 2018, titled “Road to New Transport Infrastructure—Super Express Maglev and Extended Airport.” The presentation provided an overview of the Maglev super-express train and ocean-extended Tokyo International Airport as national challenges to a new transport infrastructure. The extended Tokyo Haneda International Airport is one monolithic no-jointed reinforced concrete deck of 0.6km2 and has become the world-first non-crack runway structure built above the ocean. The lifetime performance based design/contract and the new construction system with super-quality concrete, and the crack control and the fatigue damage assessment were highlighted.
