Presentations
at the TRB Annual Meeting 2008
Workshop 101:
Doctoral Student Research in Bituminous Materials and Mixtures
Sunday, January 13, 2008, 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM, Marriott
Andrew Braham, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, presiding
Stacey Diefenderfer, Virginia Transportation Research Council, presiding
Andrea Kvasnak, National Center for Asphalt Technology, presiding
Sponsored by:
Characteristics of Bituminous Materials Committee (AFK20)
Characteristics of Bituminous Paving Mixtures to Meet Structural
Requirements Committee (AFK50)

Research Committee (ABJ80)
Note: This workshop provides the opportunity
for doctoral students to present the results of their ongoing research in
asphalt materials and mixtures. The presentations will help students by
giving them feedback on their research efforts, allowing them to develop and
practice presentation skills, and give them the opportunity to meet and
interact with graduate student peers.
