Full programme

The course will face the following topics:
- tests for soil classification
- tests for aggregates classification
- tests on cement-treated mixtures
- tests for bitumen classification
- rheological tests on bitumen
- preparation of hot asphalt mixes
- preparation of cold recycled asphalt mixtures
- mechanical tests on cold recycled asphalt mixtures
- mechanical test on hot asphalt mixes
- performance evaluation of hot asphalt mixtures
