AASHTO Publications PCC Pavement Preservation Series: Diamond Grinding and Grooving (1 PDH) TC3MN009-15-T1

This course offers professional development hours (PDHs). You will see the PDHs on your course completion certificate, which also serves as documentation of your attendance. PDH requirements vary, therefore, it is up to you to determine whether or not this particular course qualifies under your State or board requirements. Course overview: This module describes recommended procedures for surface restoration of portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements, specifically diamond grinding and diamond grooving operations. This module is part of the curriculum from the Concrete Pavement Preservation Series, which presents current guidelines and recommendations for the design, construction, and selection of cost-effective concrete pavement preservation strategies. The other Web-based training modules include: • Preventative Maintenance and Pavement Preservation Concepts (TC3MN002-15-T1) • Concrete Pavement Evaluation (TC3MN003-15-T1) • Slab Stabilization and Slab Jacking (TC3MN004-15-T1) • Partial-Depth Repairs (TC3MN005-15-T1) • Full-Depth Repairs (TC3MN006-15-T1) • Retrofitted Edge Drains (TC3MN007-15-T1) • Load Transfer Restoration (TC3MN008-15-T1) • Joint Resealing and Crack Sealing (TC3MN010-15-T1) • Concrete Overlays (TC3MN026-15-T1) • Strategy Selection (TC3MN011-15-T1) Training level: This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels I, II, III, and IV. Target audience: This training is designed for design engineers, quality control personnel, contractors, suppliers, technicians, and trades people. While the course is aimed at those who have some familiarity with concrete pavements and pavement preservation, it is also of value to those that are new to the field. Learning outcomes: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: • Differentiate between diamond grinding and diamond grooving and list the benefits of each; • Identify appropriate blade spacing dimensions for grinding and grooving; • Describe recommended construction procedures; and • Identify typical construction problems and remedies.
