HSLL 4007 - Asphalt Pavement Materials and Construction for Industry Certificate

This course describes the constituents used in the construction of asphalt pavements. Asphalt concrete mixture properties are explained including design processes, manufacturing, asphalt pavement construction methods and forensics. Included are the manufacture of asphalt cement, emulsions and cutbacks, material properties and behavior.

Upon completion of the course students shall be able to:

• relate the complex processes involved in the manufacture of asphalt binders used for paving construction
• optimize performance of asphalt paving mixtures
• optimize economy of asphalt paving mixtures
• analyze the construction processes for asphalt pavements
• analyze the maintenance processes for asphalt pavements
• describe the failure mechanisms of asphalt pavements

All textbooks are provided:

• Roberts, F.L. Kandhal, P. S., Brown, E. R., Lee, Dah-Yinn, and Kennedy, T. W., "Hot Mix Asphalt Materials, Mixture Design and Construction"
• Kevin M. Jones "Asphalt Pavement Materials and Construction for Industry" (Three Ring Binder)
• Principles of Asphalt Pavement Materials and Construction for Industry

Noncredit courses do not produce academic credit nor appear on a Colorado State University academic transcript.
