Description
There have been significant changes in the asphalt pavement industry. There are many reasons that some asphalt pavements constructed in recent years do not seem to be as durable as those constructed in the past. This virtual Maximizing Pavement Life workshop will help you understand modern design, construction and maintenance principals that are essential to achieve optimum performance.
This new course is designed to provide up-to-date information to agencies, engineers and roadway supervisors responsible for delivering quality roadways for the traveling public. State-of-the-art technology and methods will be presented at approachable levels that can immediately be utilized to maximize the performance of your asphalt pavement structures.
