TRB conducted a webinar on July 2, 2014, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm ET that explored
NCHRP Report 752: Improved Mix Design, Evaluation, and Materials Management, Practices for Hot Mix Asphalt, with High Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Content, which describes proposed revisions to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) R 35, Superpave Volumetric Design for Hot Mix Asphalt, and AASHTO M 323, Superpave Volumetric Mix Design, to accommodate the design of asphalt mixtures with high reclaimed asphalt pavement contents. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.
