Details

Engineers are limited in their ability to adapt and mitigate asphalt pavements’ vulnerability to moisture damage. Climate models favor increased atmospheric moisture, adding urgency behind the need to understand effective countermeasures. TRB will host a webinar on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will examine the current state of the knowledge and critical knowledge gaps with respect to asphalt pavement moisture damage. Presenters will cover basic mechanisms related to moisture damage, examine experimental methods, and present current models for evaluating moisture damage impacts.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Asphalt Mixture Evaluation and Performance.
Registration is free for employees of TRB sponsors as well as Titanium and Cobalt Global Affiliates. The registration rate for all other attendees is $100. Sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information. Contact Patrice Davenport to inquire about becoming a TRB sponsor or global affiliate organization.
A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
 
Webinar agenda and presenters

  • Overview of understanding the essential mechanisms – Silvia Caro, Universidad de los Andes
  • Moisture damage experimental methods – Gordon Airey, University of Nottingham
  • Moisture damage modeling – Eyad Masad, Hamad Bin Khalifa University
  • Question and answer session moderated by Jaime Hernandez, Marquette University

The first 60 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions.
 
Learning Objectives
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the essential mechanisms that induce and promote moisture damage in asphalt concrete mixtures
  • Identify challenges and capabilities in current experimental methods and models that are used for measuring and predicting moisture damage
  • Establish the need for experimental methods and models that can assess the impact of extreme moisture events on pavements

 
Professional Development Hours
