Transfers, Cancellation and Refund Policy If you work for an Asphalt Institute member company and this is your first time registering, please call 859.288.4960 if you need assistance in setting up an account.Early registration is recommended as the classes are limited to 6 students per instructor.The fee includes course material(s), refreshments and lunches.Registration fees must be received prior to the course date.The registration fee for this in-person course is $1,495.The course may also benefit local and state materials and federal agency personnel, contractors, and university educators. Knowledge of aggregate and asphalt mixture specifications is helpful but not required. Others who can benefit are asphalt technologists, engineers, consultants, scientists, and technicians responsible for asphalt testing, materials approval, specification and quality control for pavements. This course primarily targets new technicians working in an asphalt mixtures lab. AASHTO T283/ASTM D4867: Resistance of Asphalt Mixtures to Moisture-Induced Damage.ASTM D7227: Drying of Compacted Asphalt Mixture Specimens Using Vacuum Drying.AASHTO T331/ASTM D6752: Bulk Specific Gravity of Compacted Asphalt Mixtures – Vacuum Sealing Method.AASHTO T166/ASTM D2726: Bulk Specific Gravity of Non-Absorptive Compacted Asphalt Mixtures. AASHTO T209/ASTM D2041: Maximum Theoretical Specific Gravity of Asphalt Mixtures.AASHTO T168/ASTM D979: Sampling Asphalt Mixture from the Field.AASHTO R47: Reducing Asphalt Mixture to Testing Size.AASHTO T312/ASTM D6925: Preparation and Determination for Density of Asphalt Mix Specimens by the Superpave Gyratory Compactor.HMA Compacted Specimen & Volumetric Properties Tests AI will supply required PPE, but welcomes students to bring their own PPE to ensure comfort and fit. Individuals who wear glasses must wear side shields. Tests Covered in Laboratory Portion of Course:Įvery person entering an Asphalt Institute Laboratory space must wear safety glasses and a lab coat. The exam takes 2-3 hours on average to complete and will be followed by a group review of the answers. The last segment of the course is devoted to a practice written exam intended to test the student’s knowledge of the content delivered during the class. This course is intended to complement the Asphalt Institute’s Mix Design Technology course which focuses on how advanced technicians, designers, and/or engineers use laboratory and project information in the mix design process to create long-lasting asphalt mixtures. The class size is limited to six students to maximize each student’s time in the lab with instructors. Approximately three-fourths of the course time will be spent in the laboratory with the remaining one-fourth spent in classroom instruction. Students receive training over the entire range of activities related to asphalt mix design and testing: aggregate sampling and batching, testing aggregate properties, mixing, short-term aging, compaction, and testing of loose and compacted asphalt mixtures. The course focuses on giving the students a thorough understanding of each test and related processes, while instructing students on the procedures and techniques which will maximize testing accuracy and repeatability. Instruction covers the most current AASHTO and ASTM standards used in the asphalt mix design process. The Basic Mixture Technician Training course provides detailed, hands-on laboratory training on basic aggregate and asphalt mixture testing for both experienced and inexperienced technicians. Day 4: 8:00AM – 12:00PM (practice exam and review).
