Description:
Although there are a number of materials used in the construction and maintenance process for both highways and structures, this course is focused on the three basic materials. They are aggregate, portland cement concrete (PCC), and hot mix asphalt (HMA).
The course modules will address the procedures used in the production and sampling of aggregates.
• Module 1: Basic Aggregates includes quarry inspection, sand operation, stockpiling, and sampling.
• Module 2 covers PCC, including its production, the hydration process, as well as other cementing materials used in concrete such as water, admixtures, and aggregates.
• Module 3 reviews HMA, including the asphalt binder and aggregates used in the production.
This course offers professional development hours (PDHs). You will see the PDHs on your course completion certificate, which also serves as documentation of your attendance. PDH requirements vary, therefore, it is up to you to determine whether or not this particular course qualifies under your State or board requirements.
Target audience: This training is designed for anyone involved in the construction, maintenance, and testing process for highways and structures.
Learning outcomes: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
• Identify aggregate production and sampling procedures;
• Recognize the ingredients of PCC and the part each plays in concrete production; and
• Recognize the ingredients of HMA and the part each plays in hot mix asphalt production.
