Pavement Life Cycle Analysis: The Basics (CCB-01)
February 11-12, 2025
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm daily
Pavement Life Cycle Analysis introduces the principles and application of life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) for pavements. LCCA is an important tool for making well-informed decisions regarding pavement treatment selection and timing, and materials and construction specifications and their enforcement. The course will provide a basic understanding of how decisions and actions regarding materials, design, and pavement treatment strategy selections interact to affect the functional, cost, and performance of pavements, including streets, roads, and highways. Instruction references use of a computer program, the Life Cycle Cost Analysis Comparison Spreadsheet, to perform LCCA calculations. View additional details about this course on the UC Berkeley TechTransfer course description page.
Pavement Construction Specifications and Quality Assurance (CCC-03)
March 5-13, 2025
9:00 am – 11:30 am daily
This course presents information regarding construction contract documents, quality assurance as applied to pavement construction, construction specifications for the components of pavement structural sections, and preparation of specifications, special provisions, and estimates. This is the primary overview course on pavement construction in the training certificate program offered by the City and County Pavement Improvement Center (CCPIC) in partnership with TechTransfer. Full details on the TechTransfer registration webpage.
Asphalt Concrete Materials & Mix Design (CCC-01)
April 14-17, 2025
1:00 pm – 3:00 pm daily
This course presents information regarding asphalt mix components and their relation to performance, and takes participants through the asphalt mix design methodologies used by the State and local agencies in California. The course covers both Hveem and Superpave mix designs, as well as open-graded mix design. This is the primary overview course on Asphalt Concrete Materials & Mix Design in the training certificate program offered by the City and County Pavement Improvement Center (CCPIC) in partnership with TechTransfer. Access full details on the TechTransfer registration webpage.
Pavement Sustainability (CCA-02)
May 20-22, 2025
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm daily
The course will introduce definitions and metrics for assessing and improving the sustainability of pavements across the life cycle using the concept of life cycle thinking. Strategies and approaches for different stages of the life cycle, different contexts, and differing goals of agencies will be discussed. Cost and social considerations will also be discussed. Expected future changes in tools, technologies, and policies for improving sustainability, and considerations to help assure that proposed changes have a high probability of improving sustainability will be presented. This is an introductory-level course offered by the City and County Pavement Improvement Center (CCPIC) in partnership with TechTransfer.
