Introduction to Asphalt Emulsion Certificate
— Offered by College of Engineering —
Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Certificate
The Introduction to Asphalt Emulsion certificate will provide a broad, foundational understanding of asphalt emulsions.
After a brief overview of the history and importance of asphalt emulsion, tools will be provided to understand the classification of asphalt emulsion into cationic versus anionic, rapid versus medium versus quick versus slow setting, and how the type of asphalt emulsion influences breaking and curing. Additionally, a broad perspective of the production of asphalt emulsion will be provided, followed by an overview of existing AASHTO specifications for the testing, sampling, and handling properties of asphalt emulsion, the classification of asphalt emulsion, tests on the recovered asphalt emulsion residue, and performance tests developed for asphalt emulsion pavement maintenance and rehabilitation products. Finally, uses of asphalt emulsion in roadways will be covered, including spray applications and mixture applications, encompassing an introduction to all pavement maintenance and rehabilitation products.
Most of my own working experience encompasses the production and testing of aggregates, virgin asphalt and HMA/WMA, so this course was of benefit.Steven G.
