What is a Balanced Mix Design (BMD)? How did the concept of BMD come to be? Will BMD replace Superpave? Why is BMD a timely conversation? Join TXAPA’s Jim Warren and Texas A&M’s Dr. Amy Epps-Martin for a deep dive into asphalt mix design and a closer look into TxDOT’s utilization of BMD in its ongoing commitment to building long-lasting, more durable pavements. Find out whether this is an evolutionary or revolutionary change. See you online September 21 at 3 PM CST. (1PDH)
