Presentation - TRB Webinar Visualizing Risk for Resilience

About

In today's reality of sea level rise and extreme weather-related events, planning for infrastructure resiliency is more important than ever before. Resilience is a process that is scalable and includes both long-range and intermediate planning. With shrinking budgets, investing scarce resources must be justified by return-on-investment. TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, August 5, 2024 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that addressed how to approach communicating risk. Presenters discussed risk analysis and visually communicating that risk to support resilience strategies.

Presentation - TRB Webinar Asphalt Content of Recycled Mixes by Ignition Testing

About

Determining accurate asphalt content of mixtures is critical, particularly as the quantity of recycled materials allowed during production increases. TRB hosted a webinar on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 AM Eastern that presented the work conducted by NCHRP to revise the current AASHTO T 308 test procedure to be able to incorporate mixes with high recycled materials content. Presenters explored the effect of reducing the test temperature from 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Presenters also shared a new precision statement of the AASHTO procedure including recycle mixes.

This webinar was based on NCHRP Research Report 1060: Ignition Furnace Correction Factors: Identifying Influences and Minimizing Variability.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program.

The slides are linked in the meeting materials. View the recorded webinar below.

Presentation - TRB Webinar Sustainable and Low-Carbon Solutions for Asphalt Pavements

About

Agencies are seeking cost-effective, sustainable solutions to rebuild national roadway infrastructure without compromising performance. Cold In-place recycling (CIR) and Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR) are two sustainable, low-carbon approaches to rehabilitating and building asphalt pavements that are seeing an increased use. TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, December 4, 2023 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that provided an overview of the state of the practice with CIR and CCPR of asphalt mixtures. Presenters discussed the new draft report of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO) Construction Guide Specifications for CIR and CCPR asphalt mixtures. Presenters also shared the best practices guide and training materials that will be published as a part of this report.

This webinar was based on NCHRP Web-Only Document 363: Construction Guidelines for Cold Central Plant Recycling and Cold In-Place Recycling.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program.
