Overview

Course Description

While we’re driving on them everyday, the roadways are experiencing stress. When force is applied to concrete pavement it places a certain level of stress on the concrete. It cracks, wears away, and requires costly repairs. Steel-reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) has been used since 1921 - it's time for a better way.

This 1-hour interactive online course gives you the information and the methods to improve the strength of concrete pavements using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer rebar. You will see why concrete fails and learn a new way to prevent it. You'll be introduced to fiber reinforced polymers. With these formulas and designs you will build longer lasting, more durable roads.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

List the causes of distress that occur in CRCP
Explain the corrosion of steel in concrete
Discuss the stress handling differences between steel reinforcement and glass fiber reinforcement
Name the advantages and disadvantages of fiber reinforced polymers
Label the components in the formulas to calculate the change in thermal expansion
Describe design parameters of various sub-grades, course aggregates and reinforcement types
