SUMMARY:NHI 131139: Constructing and Inspecting Asphalt Paving Projects (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Nevada LTAP hosts this four-day virtual course (7:30–11 am PT)\, free to local agencies\, from February 22 to 25\, 2021. \nNational Highway Institute (NHI) 131139 introduces asphalt pavement construction best practices\, from the importance of understanding project administration roles and responsibilities to the most vital elements of laydown operations and compaction. Participants learn contract administration techniques\, recognize proper construction practices\, identify construction issues and their source\, determine the impact of construction issues on performance\, and select communication strategies for contractors\, consultants\, and superiors. They can then apply the knowledge and skills to maximize quality on construction projects. \nThe importance of a proactive approach to managing and inspecting construction projects is emphasized at every stage. This includes quickly addressing problems\, implementing corrective actions\, and documenting communications between the agency and contractor. \nThis course is eligible as a substitute for the NVLTAP Road Scholar elective course\, Asphalt Paving Technology & Maintenance. \nThis course is designed for participants who ensure a project is built to the owner’s specifications. Participants can be relatively new to asphalt or general project inspection. Participants with broader experience can also take the course to learn about innovative asphalt pavement construction technologies\, participate in class discussions\, and share successful practices. The primary audience are local agency inspectors involved in the preconstruction\, construction\, and review of asphalt paving projects. Multi-district or region attendance is encouraged to get a broader range of perspectives and ideas. \nClick here for further information. There are 10 seats remaining. The course is free\, but register soon because this course will fill up fast!

SUMMARY:Olson Engineering Webinar: Geophysical Methods for Assessment of Embankment Dams
DESCRIPTION:Embankment dams and levees can present problems where geophysics can help assess the current state of the structure. The most common failure mechanisms in these earthen structures are internal erosion\, overtopping\, and failure induced from a seismic event. Geophysical methods are most applicable to the internal erosion and seismic induced failures\, while related remote sensing technologies are more applicable to the overtopping issues. Internal erosion can occur when a flow path exists from one side of the dam to the other\, then as the head difference increases\, more material is removed leading to an increase in the diameter of the erosion path until the dam fails. Seismic induced failures are typically tied to earthquakes. In this presentation detection of voids and internal erosion pathways by spontaneous potential (SP)\, electromagnetic induction\, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT)\, and ground penetrating radar will be discussed. For assessment of seismic failure risks\, crosshole seismic\, downhole seismic\, and multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) will be discussed. For assessment of overtopping failure potential\, LiDAR\, photogrammetry\, and GPS will be briefly discussed as well as slope stability monitoring with interferometric phase radar.

SUMMARY:CalAPA Webinar: Quality Asphalt Paving
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand is our training class on field paving best practices\, “Quality HMA Paving\,” which covers all the techniques\, tips and tricks for delivering a successful asphalt paving job. Our instructor\, Skip Brown\,  has decades of experience as owner of a paving company and has personally supervised the placement of more than 4 million tons of asphalt on roadways in California. All attendees of the class will receive a digital reference book and certificate of completion.
