SUMMARY:Pavement Preservation & Recycling Alliance webinar: Setting & Achieving Road Network Goals\, Featuring Kent County\, MI
DESCRIPTION:Six years ago\, The Kent County\, Michigan Road Commission set out to improve their primary road network of nearly 660 miles. This ten-year goal\, moving from 65% rated “Good” or “Fair” to 90%\, came on the heels of a state transportation funding increase. With the influx of revenue\, decision makers asked themselves\, “How are we going to use that money and what can we realistically achieve?”  \nToday\, Kent County is on track to meet expectations. Join us as road commission representatives share their story and the strategies they have taken to accomplish this monumental achievement.  In addition the Michigan county’s successes\, participants of this webinar will walk away with free tools and resources on RoadResource.org that deliver on the same principles and concepts used by Kent County. Learn to put these tools to work for your own road network. \nAs 2021 continues with surprises and uncertainties in economic and infrastructure support\, it is more important than ever for road managers to understand real-life methods to improve road networks– whether budgets are increased or decreased for the year.

SUMMARY:Practical Math Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Register now for Nevada LTAP’s free online training for Practical Math: Using Common Math Skills to Solve Everyday Problems on the Job. This two-part workshop is being held on April 26th and 27th (8:00–10:0 am PT both days)\, and builds on basic math skills to solve common on the job problems. \nThis workshop is for anyone who needs to solve common on the job problems—using the math you already know! Whether you love it\, hate it\, or are ambivalent about math—the simple things you already can do will help you to produce units of measure like the volume of a cylinder\, the square footage of an area; flatten a slope\, or ascertain whether you have enough supplies or equipment on hand to finish a job\, and more. \nThis course builds on basic math skills that you learned in earlier web-based training or proved mastery of by passing the opt-out exam. Then by using a step by step approach\, complex problems you encounter at work will be broken down into manageable problems. You will identify what you need to know\, what you already know\, and how to proceed. You will be encouraged to ask questions\, work through some problems\, and build your confidence in what you can do. \nAt the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: \n\nPerform calculations by using the proper order of math processes.\nIdentify the best solution path for job-related word problems.\nConvert a problem into a mathematical equation.\nCalculate formulas to solve typical job-related math problems.

SUMMARY:PAVER Training Series\, Session 1
DESCRIPTION:Do you use\, or plan to use\, PAVER 7.0 to do pavement management? If so\, check out this training series! It provides useful guidance and tips for navigating PAVER for all experience levels. \nPAVER provides pavement management capabilities to: (1) develop and organize the pavement inventory; (2) assess the current condition of pavements; (3) develop models to predict future conditions; (4) report on past and future pavement performance; (5) develop scenarios for M&R based on budget or condition requirements; and (6) plan projects. The four training sessions explain how PAVER supports these pavement management tasks. \nDuring the training\, an experienced instructor will demonstrate PAVER functions and then give you an opportunity to practice new skills and ask questions. When you return to work\, try what you learned for a week; then\, check in with the instructor during at a virtual Q&A forum.

SUMMARY:Hot Mix Asphalt Acceptance Based on Percent Within Limits webinar
DESCRIPTION:Construction acceptance plans can reward or penalize contractors based upon the quality of their work. For asphalt pavement construction work\, the goal of the acceptance plan is to encourage contractors to focus on materials and construction factors that help achieve better performance and longer life. For hot-mix asphalt (HMA) paving\, there are three primary factors that affect performance: \n\nGradation of the aggregate.\nAsphalt binder content.\nCompacted density.\n\nIn 2016\, under the sponsorship of the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT)\, researchers at the University of Nevada Reno’s Western Regional Superpave Center developed a tool to use as an alternative to the conventional mix acceptance procedure in the state’s Standard. The new methodology applies a statistical-based\, percent within limits (PWL) approach to determine if the as-constructed mix properties fall within acceptable limits and if the contractor is eligible for a bonus or incurs a penalty. (Note that the assessment is made on a lot-by-lot basis). Read NDOT Research Report No. 206-10-803\, “Develop a PWL System for Dense Graded Hot Mix Asphalt Construction\, Including Pay Factors” (Jan 2015) to learn more about the tool. \nDuring this 2-hour webinar\, learn more about the tool and how it can be applied at your agency. \nThe participants who will benefit the most from the webinar include engineers involved with preparing pavement construction specifications\, overseeing pavement construction\, and determining final contractor payment. Participants will receive a digital version of the NDOT report and the mix acceptance tool. \nClick here for further information.

SUMMARY:National Asphalt Pavement Association webinar: Supporting Construction Workers – Suicide Prevention\, Mental Health\, & Substance Use Awareness
DESCRIPTION:The construction industry has one of the highest suicide and opioid overdose rates compared to all industries. The reasons are complicated. This webinar\, co-sponsored by CPWR and NAPA\, spotlights the impact that suicides\, mental health disorders\, and substance use have on the trades\, and will share resources and examples of what stakeholders can do to support workers and keep them safe in a dynamic environment. Learn firsthand from experts with personal experiences and innovative programs that reach and support thousands of workers as they navigate through these complex issues. \nPartnering with CPWR and moderated by NAPA Chairperson Jay Winford\, this free webinar focuses on what stakeholders can do to support construction workers and keep them safe in an industry (general construction) that has one of the highest suicide and opioid overdose rates across all industries. Registration is required for this free webinar. Business leaders\, HR personnel\, and those with front-line responsibilities are encouraged to support this effort.

SUMMARY:National Asphalt Pavement Association webinar: Beyond the Basics: Milling for Quality
DESCRIPTION:Milling is the removal of often distressed asphalt mixtures from a pavement structure. While some just see milling as the process of generating reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) which can be used in future projects\, milling can also positively or negatively impact the quality of rehabilitation efforts. \nThe participants will: \n\nLearn the different types of cutting drums\nUnderstand how different cutting drums impact RAP and the quality of the milled surface\nIdentify milling best practices for ensure the paving crew has the best chance of placing and compacting a dense\, smooth surface
