Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements: 4 PDH

Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements: 4 PDH

$24.00

In this course the student will gain detailed, research-based guidance on the curing process for concrete pavements, including pre-construction planning, methods of curing (initial and final), material selection, environmental considerations, and techniques to verify curing effectiveness. It emphasizes best practices to ensure long-term pavement performance and reduce early-life concrete distress.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PE

SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL OBTAINED

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

    • Explain the role of curing in achieving durable and strong concrete pavement, and identify consequences of inadequate curing.
    • Distinguish between the initial and final curing periods and describe their specific requirements and timing.
    • Evaluate environmental and material conditions that influence curing needs, including bleeding rates, evaporation rates, and concrete temperature.
    • Apply appropriate curing techniques—such as curing compounds, water-based methods, and sheet materials—based on project-specific conditions.
    • Identify factors contributing to plastic shrinkage and thermal cracking, and implement corrective actions to mitigate these issues during paving.
    • Verify curing effectiveness through practical methods, including visual inspection, reflectometry, and temperature/moisture measurement tools.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a 20 question multiple-choice quiz. The quiz can be retaken unlimited times until a passing grade of 70% or better is earned. This course satisfies four (4) hours of professional development (PDH).

    Foundations in Expansive Soils: 6 PDH

     $36.00 Add to cart
    This course presents guidance and information for the geotechnical investigation necessary for the selection and design of foundations for heavy and light buildings constructed in expansive clay soil areas. The information in this course is generally applicable to many types of structures such as residences, warehouses, and multi-story buildings. Emphasis is given to the maintenance of an environment that encourages constant moisture conditions in the foundation soils during and following construction. Special attention must always be given to specific requirements of the structure such as limitations on allowable differential movement.
