ABSTRACT
This conference is the eighth conference in the series started in Trondheim, Norway in 1982 and arranged at four-year intervals under the title “Bearing Capacity of Roads and Airfields-BCRA.” In the sixth BCRA Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, a third component on railway track was added in the scope as a vital element of transportation infrastructure worldwide. However, since then the acronym BCRA remained the same. For the first time, this eighth conference uses the acronym BCR2A to emphasize the infrastructure problems that all three transportation modes have in dealing with the bearing capacity challenges of highway and airfield pavements and railroad track structures.
