This webinar is RCEP-eligible for live attendance.
This insightful webinar focuses on navigating the complexities of Balanced Mix Design (BMD) in asphalt pavement engineering. We delve into the latest guidance on progressing through BMD approaches, examining the pros and cons of different strategies outlined in AASHTO PP 105. Our discussion also spotlights the critical role of RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) preheating procedures and their impact on BMD properties.
OUTCOMES
