Rheobit™ (Rheology of Bituminous Materials) - Lexington, KY
April 30 - May 4, 2012
Specifications in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere in the world are increasingly dependent upon basic principles of rheology and the application of advanced computer techniques. An understanding of these basic principles is essential for those developing and applying specifications as well as developers and producers of new and enhanced binders, and researchers in academia and industry. The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic principles of rheology as they apply to asphalt binders, to introduce measurement principles and analytical concepts, and to provide a hands-on experience in the laboratory that is closely integrated with the classroom work. This highly interactive course is intended for engineers and scientists experienced with asphalt binders but seeking fundamental knowledge that is not available elsewhere. Registration is limited to no more than 15 participants. |
