Hot Mix Asphalt Reference CD Reference CD Autorun Program
This Reference CD's user-friendly autorun program gives you quick, easy access to fifteen hot mix asphalt training presentations, 442 pages in all.
The increased demand for paved roads and highways, and their associated volumes and types of traffic, lead to increases in demand in quantity and quality of paving materials and processes. Hot mix asphalt is the means by which these demands are met.
These training presentations provide extensive and detailed instruction on:
* superpave binder specifications
* hot mix asphalt volumetric properties
* hot mix asphalt design mix
* hot mix asphalt construction
Includes a multitude of diagrams, drawings and pictures to demonstrate points and provide visual examples.
Includes practical exercises, assignments and problems for each lesson.
The table below gives a detailed description of each training course document and some sample page images.
