Connecting the DOTs - Using WMA for Balanced Mix Design

Register today to learn more!

 June 25, 2024 at 3 p.m. ET for our next webinar: 
Using Warm Mix Asphalt at Reduced Production Temperatures for Balanced Mix Design presented by Fan Yin, Assistant Director at National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University.

Dr. Yin will present a case study that illustrates the feasibility of using warm mix asphalt (WMA) at lower production temperatures to design asphalt mixtures with balanced rutting and cracking resistance. In this study, two balanced mix design (BMD) modification approaches were evaluated to modify an existing Superpave mix design with unbalanced performance because of inadequate cracking resistance: adding asphalt binder and using WMA with a surfactant-based chemical additive.

What is Connecting the DOTs?
Connecting the DOTs is a webinar series that provides Department of Transportation (DOT) personnel and industry leaders with a platform to share their experiences and successes with the newest developments in pavement technologies. Our goal with this web-based initiative is to provide a setting where agency personnel can collaborate and benefit from the experiences of their peers.

Please feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues and friends who you think will benefit from the discussion.
