AASHTO Publications Concrete Series: Construction of Concrete Pavements (1 PDH) TC3MS011-15-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 covers construction operations and establishes important ties to design and materials. This module is part of a curriculum from the "Integrated Materials and Construction Practices for Concrete Pavement" manual developed through the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University. The other Web-based training modules include: • Design of Pavement (TC3MS003-15-T1) • Hardened Concrete Properties – Durability (TC3MS004-15-T1) • Fundamentals of Materials Used for Concrete Pavements (TC3MS005-15-T1) • Incompatibility in Concrete Pavement Systems (TC3MS006-15-T1) • Mix Design Principles (TC3MS007-15-T1) • Early Age Cracking (TC3MS008-15-T1) • Basics of Cement Hydration (TC3MS009-15-T1) • Fresh Concrete Properties (TC3MS010-15-T1) • QCQA for Concrete Pavements (TC3MS012-15-T1) • Troubleshooting for Concrete Pavements (TC3MS013-15-T1) Training level: This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels I and II. Target audience: This training is designed for agencies and their industry counterparts involved in the plant manufacturing process, delivery, placement, and inspection of PCC paving. Learning outcomes: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: • Recognize the principles of good quality portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement construction; • Identify proper material handling; • Describe the importance of the design and mixing of PCC; • Recognize when field adjustments may be necessary; and • Describe paving operations including placing, finishing, curing, and sawing concrete.
