TRB conducted a webinar on February 26, 2015, from 1:00pm to 2:30pm ET that covered all sections of
NCHRP Report 763: Evaluation of the Moisture Susceptibility of WMA Technologies, which presents proposed guidelines for identifying potential moisture susceptibility in warm mix asphalt (WMA) based on coordinated laboratory and field experiments. The webinar addressed the report’s motivation, objectives, research approach, and results, as well as highlight guidelines from the associated
NCHRP Project 9-49 Performance of WMA Technologies: Stage I - Moisture Susceptibility.
A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) will be provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Compare and contrast laboratory and field performance of warm mix asphalt (WMA) and hot mix asphalt (HMA) in terms of moisture susceptibility;
- Explain how WMA and HMA moisture susceptibility evolve with time;
- Identify anti-stripping agents and other mixture components in order to minimize moisture susceptibility of WMA; and
- Apply guidelines to preclude moisture susceptibility in WMA during mix design.
