AASHTO Publications Flexible Pavement Preservation Treatment Series: Slurry Seals (1.5 PDHs) TC3PP009-16-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 training is part of the Flexible Pavement Preservation Treatment Series and is designed to provide participants with information on slurry seals. Topics covered in this course include reasons to use slurry seals, gradations of slurry seal aggregate, preparation and application process, and problems and solutions. This training draws on the Pavement Preservation Treatment Construction Guide (PPTCG), a resource for agency and industry pavement preservation practitioners. The PPTCG provides information on basic pavement preservation concepts as well as the different treatments available and how they should be applied. Training level: This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels I, II, III, and IV. Target audience: This training is ideal for highway construction and maintenance teams, specifically the highway workers and inspectors involved in the placement of pavement preservation treatments. Design engineers will also benefit from the online guide and the associated training. Learning outcomes: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: • Identify the type of slurry seal appropriate to various traffic conditions; • Describe the construction of slurry seals; • Identify common problems associated with slurry seals and recognize their solutions; and • List the key capabilities and limitations of slurry seals.
