Join SCAPA for a webinar on different asphalt pavement maintenance and repair techniques with SCAPA Technical Director Kimberly Lyons, PhD. The Asphalt Pavement Maintenance and Repair Techniques webinar is intended for engineers, project managers, and other asphalt industry professionals.
  
SCAPA Executive Director Jayson R. Jordan, PE and Technical Director Kimberly Lyons, PhD were excited to reconnect with member and industry partners at the SC Highway Engineers Conference earlier this month. This conference draws a large number of engineers from the private sector and SCDOT and provides our staff an excellent opportunity to promote asphalt to professionals within the industry.  
  
Join us for the second edition of the SCAPA Associate Member Training Series! This edition's topic is Compensation Strategies – Recruiting Retaining and Rewarding in 2022 and Beyond. This webinar will be presented by Dixon Huhges Goodman's Mark DeVerges, Senior Manager. The training will launch Wednesday, May 25, 2022 and will be held from 10:00 to 11:15 AM.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and evaluate the sustainability of the technologies developed or underdeveloped to address environmental issues of asphalt mixtures, and the waste materials and by-products that can be recycled and reused in asphalt production. The performance evaluation was carried out by examining rutting, moisture susceptibility, thermal and fatigue cracking resistance. Two main environmental impacts, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and energy consumption, were considered to study the environmental effects of these technologies and materials.
  
Time: April 26, 2022, 2:00 p.m. EST (US and Canada)
Description: This webinar educates civil and geotechnical engineers on the basics of asphalt. The webinar will discuss asphalt pavement material composition and will focus on the importance of asphalt binder, aggregates, and provide a high-level overview of mix design.

Attendees will be able to:
1. Understand the basic material composition of asphalt.
2. Realize the impact of material properties on asphalt design.
3. Understand basic asphalt mixture designs.
  
When: May 2, 2022 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Speakers: Ron Sines, P.E., Vice President Performance - Asphalt, CRH Americas Materials, and Steve Muench, The Beavers Charitable Trust Professor, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, University of Washington.
Description: In January 2022, NAPA announced an industry vision for achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This webinar will introduce participants to the basics of net zero as well as provide insights into the industry plan for achieving this ambitious goal.
  
When: May 24, 2022 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Speaker: Dr. Dave Trimm, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Auburn University 
Description: An asphalt perpetual pavement, properly designed and constructed, lasts longer than 50 years without requiring major structural rehabilitation or reconstruction, and needs only periodic surface renewal in response to distress confined to the top of the pavement. This webinar will discuss material and design selection, current perpetual pavement thickness practices, and present the latest award-winning perpetual pavements.
  
The 2022 SCDOT certification course schedule has been released. Online registration is available on TCTC's website at www.tctc.edu/scdot.
The site will have only one of each course type available for registration at a time, so not all of the sections will show as available.
