This CTAP workshop helps determine the correct chemical and proper application rates based on the weather and pavement temperature for using salt and sand most effectively. Participants will learn that, in some cases, using less material can improve the level of service. Various anti-icing and deicing chemicals will be discussed, focusing on how they work, application rates, costs, and storage issues. Participants will also learn how anti-icing and prewetting can reduce the amount of salt used while improving the level of service. Using this training can help you reduce environmental impacts of road maintenance while maintaining safety.
Topics Covered
• Quantifiable performance measures
• Minimizing environmental impacts/sustainability
• How deicers work
• Technology and innovation
This CTAP training includes a portion of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency snow and ice control training. A voluntary test and certificate are offered and administered by MPCA. The CTAP and LTAP programs are not responsible for the MPCA certificate program.

FHWA webinar: Project Bundling: Planning and Capital Programming
2021-10-19 11:00 - 12:00
FHWA’s new series of Project Bundling webinars focuses on agency bundling strategy, why it can help you achieve your goals, and how to develop business processes and rules addressing capital programming, planning, environmental analysis, preliminary design, project delivery methods, and construction.
In this webinar, FHWA will walk through six key steps to plan, program, and optimize a project bundle.
Evaluation of projects for bundling is best done strategically and early in the transportation planning process to gain economies of scale throughout project development. Ideally, from a planning perspective, identifying the candidate projects suitable for funding and bundling will occur before the projects are included in the State Transportation Improvement Program. This webinar highlights how capital programming (also known as capital improvement planning by local agencies) is done, along with methods for identifying candidate projects, such as using asset management systems.

Minnesota Center for Transportation Studies: Innovative Materials and Advanced Technologies for a Sustainable Pavement Infrastructure webinar
2021-10-19 07:00 - 09:00
It is widely acknowledged that early detection of material damage and timely rehabilitation could lead to a significant reduction in the life-cycle cost of asphalt pavements. This webinar will highlight University of Minnesota research investigating the capabilities of graphite nanoplatelet (GNP)-taconite modified asphalt materials in damage detection and healing.
The presentation will feature two research components:
–The application of GNP-taconite modified asphalt materials for damage detection using electrical conductivity. Findings show that, as compared to conventional asphalt materials, the modified materials exhibit an improved electrical conductivity due to the electron hopping mechanism.
–The damage-healing capability of GNP-taconite modified asphalt materials upon microwave heating. Research shows that the modified materials can effectively absorb the heat generated by the microwave, and the rising temperature can effectively heal the microcracks in the binder.
This webinar will be held in conjunction with a meeting of the CTS Transportation Infrastructure Research Council.

Asphalt Pavement Alliance webinar: Perpetual Pavements by Conversion
2021-10-13 11:00 - 12:30

Both traditional and conversion Perpetual Pavement designs concepts will be presented, with emphasis on the development of the design criteria, application of the criteria to pavement conversion, and existing design tools such as PerRoad and PAVEXpress to execute design. Real world case studies will also be presented.
Participants will:
1. Learn the fundamental concepts needed to convert an existing pavement into a Perpetual Pavement.
2. Understand how PerRoad and PAVEXpress can be used to facilitate Perpetual Pavement design by conversion
3. See real-world examples of converted Perpetual Pavements.
