Parking Lot Design Guide – MAPA’s New Guide on Parking Lot Design On-Demand Webinar

Topic Description:

What goes into a parking lot design? Designing a parking lot is quite complex and can include pavement design, traffic analysis, geotechnical analysis, mix selection, and location assessment. Parking lots hold vehicle and traffic flow differently than roadways and are more susceptible to starting, stopping, and turning. Causing more stress on high traffic areas. During this webinar you will learn about MAPA’s new Parking Lot Design Guide and how pavement design and construction create long lasting parking lots.

Learning Objectives:

  • Determining pavement thickness and mix selection
  • Importance of a traffic analysis
  • Understanding the three different traffic categories: Light, Medium, and Heavy
  • Effect of subgrade on design and soil stabilization remedies
  • Proper construction practices
  • Sustainable options including LEED and Porous Pavements

Presenter:

  • William G. Buttlar, PhD, P.E., University of Missouri

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.
