VISIT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTEVIDEO CITEVI

For the third consecutive year we visit students of Civil Engineering at the University of Montevideo in our facilities. The activity is part of the course of Civil Laboratory III specifically on aggregates, binders and asphalt mixtures.

In the same an approach is given to building materials pavement comprising an asphalt mixture, testing quality control thereof, the design criteria of the mix, an evaluation of its mechanical properties and details of the activity laboratory practice compared to those who represent its future activity, such as road builders.

The activity is focused on the design of an asphalt mixture according to the Marshall method. In principle, a theoretical review of the method and national regulations was carried out. Subsequently, asphalt mixtures with different asphalt contents were made in the laboratory and test methods were evaluated to determine the characteristics of the mixture and of the aggregates that were being used. Once the capabilities of each of the systems were determined, the students processed the information and interpreted the results.

In addition to performing conventional tests, as wear LA or mixtures dosing by the Marshall method, seek to bring students to new technologies and assays as Microdeval comment on other methodologies existing dosage.

During the day also made visits to industrial plant Bitafal Special Asfaltos and other technologies are discussed road maintenance to complement seen in the laboratory.
