Advancing Balanced Mix Design (BMD): Navigating Design Approaches & RAP Preheating Procedures

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

• Gain insights into the different BMD approaches outlined in AASHTO PP 105 for implementing BMD performance tests. Learn how different strategies can influence the outcome of asphalt pavement designs and performance.
