Pavement Foundations—Designing for 100 Years
Thursday, May 30, 1-2:30 PM Eastern

Pavement foundation deformation under asphalt or concrete surface layers cause damage at the surface and reduce service life. Extreme weather and seasonal climate change create additional uncertainty, making it difficult to estimate and reduce foundation degradation and deformation for life cycle assessment periods up to 100 years. This webinar will provide examples of current technology that is enhancing highway resilience and improving long-term performance by reducing pavement foundation deformation.
