Abstract:

This training course is ideal for persons currently testing asphalt with a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) and for those planning on adding a DSR to their lab in the future.  

The course will cover toe following areas:

  • History of the SHRP program and AASHTO T315 test method
  • Purpose and content of new asphalt test methods such as MSCR
  • Good laboratory practices for sound DSR measurements

Attendees will leave with a better understanding of what the DSR is indicating about their samples, important operational considerations, and how to prepare for AASHTO/AMRL certification for their DSR.

Anton Paar will have a Dynamic Shear Rheometer at their booth in the GCC exhibition for course attendees to experience.
