COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This training is provided by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with NHI to review integrated materials and construction practices for concrete pavement. It is the first training of its kind offered by NHI, and we would like to give special recognition to the TCCC for their efforts. This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels II - IV. This course is primarily intended for inspectors and technicians.
The materials used in Portland cement concrete play an extremely valuable role in the performance of the concrete. This training covers both the non-reactive and reactive materials used in Portland cement concrete. This would include the aggregates, curing compound, reinforcement, and the materials that are chemically reactive.
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:
FHWA-NHI-134075 TCCC Hardened Concrete Properties - Durability
