Descriptions
Part I – Introduction to Asphalt Binders
This webinar provides an introduction to asphalt binders. Specifically, the webinar examines natural and petroleum asphalt, refining to produce asphalt binder, constituents of asphalt binders, physical properties, how asphalt binders behave, sampling, and heating and splitting asphalt binder samples.
Part II – Asphalt Binder Testing and Specifications
This webinar discusses the tests and the accompanying specifications that are used to characterize the physical properties of asphalt binders used in paving applications. Traditional asphalt binder tests and specifications are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of these tests/specifications are considered and the rationale for change discussed. The Performance-Graded (PG) asphalt binder tests and specification are discussed in detail including: (1) how the specification addresses pavement performance; (2) how the asphalt binder is “graded”; and (3) how grades are selected for use. The Multiple-Stress Creep-Recovery (MSCR) test is also discussed.
Part III – Asphalt Binder Testing and Specifications (continued)
This webinar is a continuation of Part II.
Part IV – Asphalt Emulsions, Cutbacks, and Air Blown Asphalts
This webinar examines the use of asphalt binders in emulsions and cutbacks. The types of emulsions and cutbacks are discussed as well as the tests and specifications that are used for these products. Air-blown asphalts that are used in the roofing industry are discussed including the appropriate tests and specifications used for characterizing these products.
Part V – Asphalt Binder Modification and Testing Variability
This webinar provides and overview of modification of asphalt binders, including the types of modification and the tests that are used specific to modified asphalt binders. Additionally, testing variability is discussed, including determining the acceptable levels of variability for various tests seen within a lab and between two labs. A dispute resolution process is discussed for dealing with differences in results between two parties.

R. Michael Anderson, P.E., Asphalt Institute Director of Research and Lab Services
Who Should Attend
This series of webinars is technical in nature, with an expected audience of technicians and engineers who are interested in learning more about asphalt binders, their chemical and physical properties, and how tests and specifications are used in characterizing asphalt binders. Sales and marketing students may also benefit from the comprehensive overview of asphalt products and properties.
