DESCRIPTION:
This training is part of the "Pavement Preservation Treatment" series and is designed to provide participants with an introduction to the Pavement Preservation Treatment Construction Guide (PPTCG) and the basics of pavement preservation. Topics include:
pavement structure, distresses, and differentiating pavement preservation from preventive maintenance.
As stated, this training draws on the PPTCG, which was created by FHWA, in partnership with Caltrans, the National Center for Pavement Preservation, and the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) as a resource for agency and industry pavement
preservation practitioners. It provides information on basic pavement preservation concepts and the different treatments available and how they should be applied, so agencies can make informed decisions when determining which treatments best fit their pavement
preservation needs. The training is primarily targeted at individuals unfamiliar with pavement preservation policy and technical information.
To take the entire series of trainings for the PPTCG, access the NHI website and register for NHI-131110.
OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Identify common surface distresses in pavements.
- Distinguish between distresses caused by surface failure and those caused by subsurface layer failure.
- Recognize the difference between pavement preservation and pavement maintenance.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The primary audience for the Pavement Preservation Treatment Construction WBT course is Federal, State, and local highway construction and maintenance teams, specifically the highway workers and inspectors involved in the placement of pavement preservation
treatments. Although not in the primary audience, design engineers will also benefit from the online guide and the associated training. The training course is primarily targeted at individuals unfamiliar with pavement preservation policy and technical information.
