Asphalt Core Embankment Dams (ACED) – Why, Where and How?

Asphalt Core Embankment Dams (ACED) – Why, Where and How?

1- hour Webinar

Oct. 1, 2020 9:00 - 10:00 am MDT

Eligible for 1 PDH

Description

Asphalt has been used in engineering to impound both liquid and solid substances for millennia. The secret to its longevity is its strength, impermeability and flexibility. These qualities make hydraulic asphalt (dense asphalt concrete (DAC)) an ideal material to produce impermeable lining systems.

Hydraulic asphalt has been vastly refined and improved, making it highly versatile and widely utilized around the world for dams, reservoirs, channels, lining landfill cells and for central core liners for large embankment dams. In this webinar you will learn:

1. The use of Dense Asphalt Concrete (DAC) for the provision of impermeable barrier systems for hydraulic structures
2. DAC materials, their physical and performance characteristics
3. The use of asphalt as an internal impermeable diaphragm to embankment dams - (Hydraulic Asphalt Core Embankment Dams - HACED’s)
4. Hydraulic Asphalt Core Embankment Dams

-  Why would you consider using DAC as core to an embankment dam?
-  Where (and when), would you consider using asphalt in a HACED?
-  How do you construct a HACED?
