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.
Title: PaveXpress for Porous Asphalt Design
Speaker: Jon M. Young, Hawaii Asphalt Pavement Industry
This session will be an overview of PaveXpress and PaveInstruct, followed by the design of a porous asphalt section.
PAVExpress is a free web-based pavement design tool available for use by local agencies, engineers, and architects who need a reliable way to quickly determine the necessary pavement thickness for a given section of roadway or project.
The PAVEInstruct learning module is a web-based pavement design education system with video instruction by leading industry experts. PAVEInstruct accompanies PAVEXpress.
Title: You be the inspector!
Speaker: Jarrett Welch, Consultant, Quality Paving Consultants
In this session, you are the inspector at paving project site. The participants will view short (30-120 second) videos of various paving situations. After viewing each video, a group discussion moderated by the instructor will be conducted about the situation shown in the video.

Who Should Attend: Contractors, engineers, and construction managers unfamiliar with a JMF submittal.
The job mix formula (JMF) is the recommended mixture, which includes aggregate gradation and asphalt binder type, to meet the project specifications. The JMF submittal is prepared by the paving contractor for any project that requires the construction of an asphalt pavement. The submittal is typically reviewed by the engineer of record.
This 90 to 120-minute, including questions and answers, workshop will discuss 1) the basics of asphalt pavement mixes, by discussion the Marshall method, which is the most widely used in Hawaii, 2) the production of asphalt pavements, and 3) how the JMF submittal relates to the project specification, using the Department of Transportation, 2005 Standard Specifications as an example.
Takeaways:
– A basic understanding of asphalt pavement mixes
– A basic understanding of how asphalt pavements are produced
– An understanding of how to review the JMF submittal for conformance to a specification
Certificate Provided: 2.0 PDHs are available for attending this workshop.
