This two-part webinar will discuss the use of geogrids in flexible pavements, with a focus on the requirements for proper design and successful applications. As pavement design methods have advanced over the past 75 years, the materials and construction techniques used have also advanced. While geosynthetics were first used to improve road performance as far back as the 1930s, the incorporation of these materials into standard flexible pavement design, specifically AASHTO methods, is a much more recent phenomenon. In particular,…

With a global shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE), companies of all industries are eager to jump in and do their part to make it more widely available, it's about saving lives and jobs. However, due to the complexity of PPE materials, supply chain, manufacturers must have the right network and tools such as patterns to ensure a streamlined process.

Textile manufacturers have responded to the COVID-19 crisis in unprecedented ways, rapidly retooling production lines to manufacture materials and products for PPE. Many of these companies face challenges from understanding performance requirements and new materials, to navigating a challenging maze of testing requirements and use guidelines. Learn about the various classifications of PPE and the tests required for each level. FDA and NIOSH testing will be covered for gowns, facemasks, respirators and coveralls, as well as recommended testing for general…
