NHI (WBT) “Concrete Pavement Preservation” Courses, Available 24/7—English & Spanish!

The National Highway Institute (NHI) announced the five-part distance learning program, “Constructing Quality PCC Pavement Preservation Treatments”—a comprehensive program developed under the auspices of the NHI through a cooperative agreement between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (CP Tech Center)-Iowa State University. These web-based training (WBT) courses are available in both English and Spanish! Participants choose a specific range of dates to attend online, search for specific topics…

THE PROGRAM PROVIDES:
• Total of 13.5 hours of online learning of pavement preservation methods and technologies
• WBT courses are available on the NIH website 24/7 (24 hours a day/7 days a week)
• FREE to the registrants (Price: $0 Per Participant)!

TARGET AUDIENCE: These courses provide support and instruction for individuals involved in construction projects using concrete pavement preservation (CPP) techniques. This training is ideal for construction foremen, workers, technicians, agency inspectors, construction managers, and engineers. (A few courses below list additional specific audiences…)

There are no formal prerequisites for these courses. Training is appropriate for participants regardless of past experiences with the techniques. Some instruction on how each technique fits into the broader context of pavement preservation is necessary in order to emphasize why a worker should follow best practices; however, most training content is focused on the how-to.

5. How to Construct Durable Partial-Depth Repairs in Concrete Pavements (134207B) 
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Partial-depth repairs are defined as the removal and replacement of small areas of deteriorated (or spalled) concrete pavement. They are an alternative to FDRs in areas where slab deterioration is located primarily in the upper one-third to upper one-half of the slab and the existing load transfer devices (if any) are still functional. This important preservation technique can slow or eliminate the spread of spalling distresses that tend to occur under repeated thermal stresses, freezing and thawing, and traffic loading. The information in this course:
• Offers comprehensive guide for performing partial-depth repairs
• Covers all of the considerations for partial-depth repairs to produce patches that are cost-effective and can last 10 to 15 years or longer, including:
Patch materials
Construction techniques
• Planning for partial-depth repairs
• Preparing partial-depth repairs
• Evaluating the patch through testing and quality assurance after construction is complete
• Detailed, how-to instruction that covers the full scope of tasks involved in successfully completing a partial-depth repair project
• WBT includes short, focused, and task-based lessons, visual aids, and assignments that are directly applicable to work in the field

7. Proper Diamond Grinding Techniques for Pavement Preservation (134207C)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: How-to instruction covering the scope of tasks and considerations involved in performing:
• Diamond grinding
• Diamond grooving
• Next-generation concrete surfacing (NGCS) operations
Diamond grinding and grooving are surface restoration procedures used to correct concrete pavement surface distresses or deficiencies. They are often used in conjunction with other pavement preservation techniques (e.g., dowel bar retrofit, partial-depth repairs, full-depth repairs) as part of a comprehensive pavement preservation program. Each technique addresses a specific pavement shortcoming. In some situations, it may be justified to use diamond grinding or diamond grooving as the sole preservation technique. However, this depends on the conditions and characteristics of the specific project.

9. Proper Construction Techniques for Dowel Bar Retrofit (DBR) and Cross-Stitching 134207D
COURSE DESCRIPTION: How-to instruction that covers the scope of tasks and considerations involved in performing dowel bar retrofit and cross-stitching operations.
• DBR is the installation of dowel bars at existing transverse joints or cracks in order to effectively transfer wheel loads across slabs and reduce deflections. Dowel bars are retrofitted into the joints of existing concrete pavements, which either do not have load transfer devices, or in which the existing devices are no longer functional.
• Cross-stitching is a preservation method designed for longitudinal joints or cracks that are in relatively good condition, but that need to be tied together stronger.
• This course contains short, focused lessons that are task-based, and contain detailed visual aids and videos, reinforcing content so that it can be directly applied to work in the field.

11. Proper Joint Sealing Techniques for Pavement Preservation (134207E )
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Detailed, “how-to” instruction that covers the scope of tasks and considerations involved in performing joint sealing or resealing pavement joints and cracks:
• Sawed joints are sealed to prevent the intrusion of water, deicing chemicals, and incompressible materials into the pavement structure which can reduce the pavement’s acceptable performance life.
• Joint sealing is shown to prevent several types of distresses, including joint associated distress, weakening of the base and subgrade supporting structure, blow ups, and voids beneath the joints and subsequent pavement faulting or pumping.
• When wide joints are used, sealing joints can reduce the overall tire-pavement interaction noise.
• Short, focused lessons are task-based in nature and contain detailed visual aids and videos that reinforce content so you can apply new knowledge directly to your work in the field.
This course will teach how to employ successful practices and techniques. Specifically:
1. Why is the technique an important part of concrete pavement preservation?
2. What options are available/which provide the best opportunities for success?
3. What materials are involved in the techniques?
4. What are the specific, sequential tasks required to properly perform joint sealing?

TARGET AUDIENCE: This training is designed for FHWA, State, and local agencies and their industry counterparts involved in the process to assure that the materials used in PCC meet specification requirements and are compatible to provide good, durable concrete. It is applicable to anyone desiring a better understanding of the materials used in PCC.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: The materials used in Portland cement concrete play an extremely valuable role in the performance of the concrete. This training covers the incompatibilities of materials used in PCC.

This module discusses mix design—process of choosing the characteristics we are looking for in the concrete mixture; and mix proportioning—involves taking the information provided by the mix design process and using that information to determine the actual proportions of ingredients in the mixture. This course discusses theoretical, laboratory, and field testing to determine the PCC mix that will achieve the best possible durability, strength, constructability, economy, and uniformity.

18. Early-Age Cracking 134095
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is primarily intended for inspectors and technicians. Cracks are not a problem as long as they are controlled through jointing; ideally the concrete will crack below the saw joint to relieve the stress. Uncontrolled random cracks are not aesthetically acceptable and can reduce ride quality, durability, and particularly load transfer. Early cracking in this module is defined as those cracks that occur before the concrete is open to public traffic. In this module, we will be talking about early age cracking.
