This webinar was co-sponsored by ASCE's Transportation & Development Institute (T&DI) and ASCE Continuing Education
Instructor: Richard L. Bradbury, P.E., F.ASCE
Course Length: 1 Hour
Purpose and Background
Do you want to learn about new solutions to construct pavements with maximum durability and performance? Achieving uniformity in paving Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) layers is the key to achieving good performing and long lasting pavements. This webinar presents two innovative SHRP2 solutions: use of infrared thermal profiling, and GPR pavement density scanner for archiving uniform layers of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) from a DOT perspective. The benefits of these quality control technologies are many. using the real time, fast and nondestructive testing produce continuous data that could be used reliably for achieving consistency of job, uniformity of finished product and avoiding costly time sensitive spot testing. The significant benefits will ultimately help the DOTs to do more with their budgets and reduce user costs.
Primary Discussion Topics
- Discussion of innovative SHRP2 solutions

How to Earn your CEUs/PDHs and Receive Your Certificate of Completion
To receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete a short on-line post-test and receive a passing score of 70% or higher within 1 year of purchasing the course.
How do I convert CEUs to PDHs?
1.0 CEU = 10 PDHs [Example: 0.1 CEU = 1 PDH]
