Asphalt Binder Tests and Specifications - V10K / 2 hrs |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
As a result of a considerable, nation-wide research effort to improve Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement performance, a Superior Performing Asphalt Pavement (Superpave) system was developed. A major component of the Superpave ideology was to improve asphalt binder performance so that both resistance to rutting during hot temperatures as well as resistance to cracking in cold temperatures would be improved. Binder tests were also elevated beyond the empirical tests used in the past to more appropriate performance-based tests. Climate data from weather stations across the continent were used to determine needed binder performance grades that would perform well under a wide range of temperature conditions. Pavements throughout the nation were selected and evaluated to develop a Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database that could be used by owner/agencies to determine the most appropriate binder for specific geographical locations. This training session will review previous binder tests, and explain the basis for the Superpave binder performance grading system. An exam is offered that will test the participant’s knowledge of key elements in regard to binder testing procedures and specifications.

Asphalt Pavement Preservation & Rehabilitation - V00B / 5 hrs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 How to Order a Course The objective of this course is to assist an engineer in the development of the most reliable and cost-effective rehabilitation alternatives for asphalt pavements. The abilities of the engineer required to preserve the existing pavement system are much different than those required to originally design the system. They need to have an understanding of what caused the distress they are seeing and what steps can be taken to correct them. The course is broken into two units: pavement management concepts and pavement rehabilitation procedures. The first unit will address pavement management concepts at the project level which will include an overview of pavement management, pavement structural and condition assessment, distress mechanisms for Hot Mix Asphalt and project evaluation. The second unit provides information on pavement rehabilitation through pavement maintenance techniques, surface rehabilitation procedures, recycling of asphalt pavements, and asphalt overlays.

Pavement Management Systems The development and use of a pavement management system (PMS) is essential for owner/agencies to make wise use of available resources. A good PMS will help managers determine when rehabilitation and preventive maintenance work needs to be done in order to optimize overall highway system performance at the lowest cost. An inventory of all roads and their pavement condition index (based on a pavement condition survey) will enable managers to develop “what if” scenarios with different treatments in order to determine the alternative strategy that will result in the best cost-benefit ratio. The course will also review the type of data that needs to be collected and some of the types of equipment available for that purpose. LEARNING OUTCOMES
