COURS.

APERÇU

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the importance of pavement surface friction
• Recognize the impact of surface water and infiltration
• Know how to measure permeability effectively
• Recognize important pavement material requirements
• Understand methods to reduce permeability

Description
A significant contributor to pavement deterioration is moisture infiltration. Keeping the water out of the pavement has long been a mantra for pavement engineers. Water on the pavement surface contributes to surface splashing, spraying, and possible hydroplaning, which can impact driver safety. Water infiltration into the pavement structure and subgrade can also reduce the pavement materials' load-bearing capacity, reducing the service life of pavements. 

This webinar outlines the basics of the impact of moisture on pavements and the factors affecting permeability. It provides an overview of methods to measure moisture infiltration and pavement surface friction and details on techniques to reduce pavement permeability and improve pavement surface friction.

Who Should Attend

• Architects and civil engineers responsible for the design, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements
• Agencies and other owners of highway, municipal and private sector pavement infrastructure
• Pavement material suppliers and contractors
• Operations personnel responsible for the maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements
• Private sector developers

FORMATEUR

David Hein, P.Eng

David is a consulting Civil Engineer with over 40 years of experience in designing, evaluating and managing transportation infrastructure. He is the past president of the American Society of Civil Engineers Transportation and Development Institute (ASCE T&DI), chair of the Codes and Standards Council and chair of 2 engineering standards committees. He is a long-term member of the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC), Past-Chair of the pavements committee and member of the Soils and Materials and Asset Management Committees. He is also a member of the Workforce Development Council and Chair of the Professional Development Committee.

David has represented Canada on the World Road Association (WRA) pavements and asset management committees since 2002 and is currently the Chair of the Canadian National Committee to the WRA. He recently stepped down after 10 years as Executive Director of the Falling Weight Deflectometer User Group.

He has been involved in numerous national and international research, evaluation and asset management projects for Federal, State, Provincial and Municipal agencies and many of the public/private/ partnership highway construction projects across Canada and the United States.
