The Use of Recycled Materials in Roadways
May 5 – 29, 2020 I Online Training
This online workshop will address the use of recycled materials in roadways. Recycling of roadway materials should always be considered when maintaining, rehabilitating, or building new roadways. Numerous techniques and standards are well-established, and each approach should be considered before selecting the most appropriate for a specific project.
Many non-traditional waste or by-product materials have found their way into roadways. Recycled Tire Rubber has a well-established role in asphalt paving. Plastic, Crushed Portland Cement Concrete, Contaminated Soils, Fly-Ash, Slag, Paper, and many other industrial by-products and Post-Consumer materials have found practical uses in paving.
This workshop aims to explain what works and why. Diverting these materials from landfills or being dumped into the environment is of great importance to all of us. The lectures will be taught over four weeks, with live two-hour online sessions held on Tuesday and Thursday of each week.
