Title: Pavement Distresses
Speaker: Mike Huner, Engineering Consultant, Huner Consulting, LLC
This session will discuss the FHWA’s LTPP Distress Identification Manual. Attendees will learn the definitions/descriptions, severity levels, and how to measure the various distresses. It is not always possible to identify the causes of the distress by only an observation of the pavement surface. The session will note items that may be indicative of the cause.
Title: Intro to Perpetual Pavements
Speaker: Jon M. Young, Hawaii Asphalt Pavement Industry
This session is an overview of the design of perpetual pavements. Since 2001, the APA’s Perpetual Pavement Award program has recognized over 150 long-life pavements in 31 U.S. states and one Canadian province. These roads were all at least 35 years old when honored and had never experienced a structural failure. To qualify, a road could not have had more than 4 inches of new material added over the previous 35 years, and it could not have been resurfaced more frequently than once every 13 years.
