Registration is now open for NRMCA's 2-day online course beginning Tuesday, July 29, at noon Eastern time titled Designing Jointed Concrete Pavements for Streets and Local Areas. The course, taught by NRMCA pavement engineers Brian Killingsworth and Amanda Hult, provides detailed instruction on how to design and build concrete streets and parking lots. It provides details of pavement design, including traffic loads and pavement stresses. Concrete properties and thickness design are presented in detail. Recommendations for subgrade support and pavement jointing are provided. Concrete materials are presented, including discussions on strength, workability and durability. Recommended specifications are provided. Construction techniques, inspection, testing, maintenance and repair are discussed. Additional details will be provided on cost estimating, cost -benefit analysis, and life cycle cost.

 

This course is intended for civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, public works officials, architects involved in the design and layout of concrete streets and parking areas. Concrete contractors and concrete producers will also benefit from this seminar.
