Advancing BMD: Navigating Design Approaches and RAP Preheating Procedures
AUGUST 27, 2:00-3:30 PM EASTERN TIME
This webinar is RCEP-eligible for live attendance.
This insightful webinar focuses on navigating the complexities of Balanced Mix Design (BMD) in asphalt pavement engineering. We delve into the latest guidance on progressing through BMD approaches, examining the pros and cons of different strategies outlined in AASHTO PP 105. Our discussion also spotlights the critical role of RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) preheating procedures and their impact on BMD properties.
OUTCOMES
- Gain insights into the different BMD approaches outlined in AASHTO PP 105 for implementing BMD performance tests. Learn how different strategies can influence the outcome of asphalt pavement designs and performance.
- Explore the intricacies of RAP preheating procedures during asphalt mix design. Discover the implications of different preheating methods on RAP aging levels and overall mixture properties.
- Dig into a comprehensive analysis of the effects of various RAP preheating procedures on asphalt mixture volumetric and mechanical properties. Gain actionable insights to optimize your asphalt mix designs and enhance pavement performance.
