Asphalt Pavement 101: Tomorrows Roads Built on Today’s Testing On-Demand Webinar

Topic Description:

This webinar will discuss the importance of hot mix asphalt testing during paving and construction. First, we will briefly talk about hot mix asphalt designs so we can understand the makeup of the mixture. Second, we will discuss what properties need to be tested during hot mix asphalt paving and what test methods should be used to evaluate these properties. We will also discuss the appropriate frequency of testing for different scopes of work and mixtures. Finally, we will discuss understanding test results, how it effects the performance, appropriate tolerance, and the importance of timely test results.

Key Takeaways:

  • The makeup of a hot mix asphalt designs
  • What properties to test for and when
  • Understanding hot mix asphalt test results

Presenter:

Andy LaPlante, Interstate Testing Services

PLEASE NOTE:

The ASPHALT CALCULATOR is a quick and easy tool to help you estimate how many tons of asphalt pavement your project will need. Just enter your project’s width (feet), length (feet), and planned nominal compacted thickness (inches), then click “CALCULATE.”

The calculator uses a mix density of 1.950 tons per cubic yard to estimate the total asphalt tonnage required.
