"Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a tough, stable, rut-resistant mixture that relies on stone-on-stone contact to provide strength and a rich mortar binder to provide durability. These objectives are usually achieved with a gap-graded aggregate coupled with fiber or polymer modified, and high asphalt content matrix." - National Asphalt Pavement Association Quality Improvement Series 122
Join us for a comprehensive workshop session about the history, mix design, production, construction and performance characteristics of Stone Asphalt Matrix. The seminar will begin around 10:00 am and conclude around 3:00 pm. Lunch will be served at the seminar.
This class is limited to 30 participants.
