TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, September 28, 2016 from 1:00PM to 2:30PM ET that featured research from National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
Report 817: Validation of Guidelines for Evaluating the Moisture Susceptibility of WMA Technologies. This webinar discussed the moisture susceptibility thresholds previously identified for warm mix asphalt (WMA) during mix design. This corroboration effort includes a survey of state Departments of Transportation and contractors.
Participants must register in advance of the webinar, and there is a fee for non-TRB Sponsor or non-TRB Sustaining Affiliate employees.
A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.
