Here’s a look at a couple of the seminars that road and aggregates industry professionals might find useful in their business. For a complete schedule, click here.

T-11: How Aggregate Characteristics Influence Porous Hot-Mix Asphalt — learn how porous hot-mix asphalt uses deep drainage layers of aggregate base in order to perform properly:

• What aggregates, such as traprock or basalt, are most ideal for porous HMA?

• How the aggregate truly influences the end performance of the mixture.

• What aggregate-related factors to consider when designing the pavement system.

 

T-23: Control Concrete Properties with Chemical Admixtures — discover how chemical admixtures can improve concrete workability, increase freeze/thaw resistance, enable concrete placement in extreme environments, and speed up construction schedules:

• The advantages of designing for workability and/or water reduction in concrete.

• How to compare and contrast the use of an accelerating admixture versus a retarding admixture.

• How new technology can be applied to solve problems with concrete placement and environment.

 

T-27: What’s Happening in Concrete & Asphalt Recycling —  industry experts relay the latest issues and developments affecting the recycling of concrete and asphalt:

• How the federal government is promoting concrete and asphalt recycling.

• How major road contractors are successfully using this material.

• What the latest research is in concrete and asphalt recycling.

 

W-17: Construction Safety Bootcamp — learn risk-management techniques that can help control exposure to loss:

• How to identify business loss drivers.

• How to explain true incident costs.

• Practices to control exposure to leading loss type.

 

W-23: Opportunities in Pervious Concrete: Why, Where & How — familiarize yourself with the movement for “Green Building” with concrete:
