ASPHALT MIXES AND APPLICATIONS

Service Description

The aim of this session is to present a comprehensive, up-to- date design approach applicable to asphalt mixes including conventional hot-mix asphalt, and special mixes e.g. mixes produced at lower temperatures known as warm mix asphalts, stone mastic asphalt porous asphalt, mixes intended for patching and pothole repairs, i.e. cold asphalt, mixes for light traffic in residential areas, and mixes with reclaimed asphalt and / or waste materials (e.g. slags). A more detailed mix design process and procedures based on the most recent approved guidelines for these special mixes are provided in this course, including reclaimed asphalts will be presented. The procedures used in this Course are in-line with current best practice. The information contained in this course program has been compiled from reliable sources as well as knowledge and experience recorded by the local asphalt industry and other institutions. In this two-day Course, the aims and scope of the asphalt manual are presented.
