Events from the AJ Clark School of Engineering http://eng.umd.edu/events/ Mon, 03 Feb 2025 17:26:02 EST http://eng.umd.edu/images/clark_logo_4email.gif http://eng.umd.edu/events/ Thursday, May 29, 2025 1:30 PM, Virtual Classroom, This course discusses the advantages of asphalt recycling as part of your road maintenance program. It covers techniques for recycling asphalt pavement, including surface recycling, hot mix recycling (both in plant and on-site), and cold mix recycling. The course instructed by Ed Stellfox emphasizes cold mix recycling, full depth reclamation, reviewing materials, equipment and operations. It also presents recent examples of asphalt recycling projects in several states. The following topics will be discussed: advantages; review of techniques -materials, equipment, and operations for surface recycling, hot-mix recycling, cold-mix recycling, and full depth reclamation. Professional Development Hours: 4.0.Registration Fee: This 4-hour virtual classroom course has a $35 registration fee. http://www.mdt2center.umd.edu/events/index.php?mode=4&id=19811 http://www.mdt2center.umd.edu/events/index.php?mode=4&id=19811 Thursday, May 15, 2025 1:30 PM, Virtual Classroom, This course instructed by Ed Stellfox reviews the various asphalt mixes, their components and their uses. Asphalt resurfacing procedures are covered, including preparation, material, equipment, operation and safety. Special emphasis is placed on proper rolling and compaction of the asphalt overlay. Superpave mix design is discussed as well. Municipal officials, road commissioners, supervisors, and superintendents; public works and maintenance personnel; equipment operators; and city or town managers are encouraged to attend.

The course then looks at other geosynthetics and their road system uses, including geogrids, geocells and geowebs, presenting new materials with new applications. Designed for municipal officials, road commissioners, supervisors, and superintendents; public works and maintenance personnel; equipment operators; and city or town managers. This course instructed by Ed Stellfox, will cover the following topics: history; materials (geotextile fabrics, geogrids, geocells and geowebs); uses and applications of drainage, erosion control, reinforcement, separation, and reflective crack control. Students who complete this non-credit course will receive 6 PDHs (Professional Development Hours) issued by the Maryland Board for Professional Engineers. Note: CEU is a general term for continuing education units. The continuing education units this course offers are not issued by the University of Maryland. http://www.mdt2center.umd.edu/events/index.php?mode=4&id=19813 http://www.mdt2center.umd.edu/events/index.php?mode=4&id=19813
