This 1-hour course presents an introduction to the subject of open-graded friction courses (OGFC). The contents of this course are intended to serve as guidance and not as an absolute standard or rule.
The primary objectives of this course are to:
- Provide technical information on open-graded friction courses (OGFC)
- Present their advantages and limitations
- Recommend factors to be considered when choosing an OGFC
Some of the topics for consideration include: the advantages of using open-graded courses; safety benefits; noise reducing features; economic issues; service life; limitations or past problems; current OGFC mix design and usage; real world examples; and European designs. The course research data will be used to provide material for generating any conclusions and recommendations for open-graded friction courses (OGFC).
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the benefits of OGFC.
- Explain the safety aspects of OGFC.
- Identify noise reduction features.
- Describe the higher costs and longer life cycles of OGFC.
- Identify OGFC limitations.
- Describe past problems encountered with OGFC.
- Identify current uses of OGFC.
- Describe state and European designs.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
