Speakers
Sharareh Shirzad, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor at Appalachian State UniversityDr. Sharareh Shirzad is an assistant professor at the Department of Sustainable Technology and the Built Environment at Appalachian State University. Before that, she worked as a graduate research assistant at Louisiana State University and Louisiana Transportation Research Center. She obtained her Ph.D. degree from the Department of Construction Management at LSU working on light-activated self-healing asphalt materials. She also holds a graduate certificate in Materials Science and Engineering. Dr. Shirzad’s research expertise and interest are in the broad theme of sustainable infrastructure and sustainable construction materials. She has published the results from her research on self-healing asphalt materials, recycling of asphalt materials, and sustainable asphalt pavements in multiple peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering and the Journal of Construction and Building Materials. She is currently working on the use of bio-oil and biochar obtained from pyrolysis of the wood and forestry waste in asphalt and concrete pavement, respectively.

Course Title: More Sustainable Asphalt Pavements
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This three-hour course explains the science, composition and evolution of asphalt pavements before focusing on ways asphalt pavement can be produced, designed and repaired to improve sustainability. Specifically, the course will examine asphalt made with recycled materials and bio-bitumen, porous asphalt, and sustainable inspection and repair techniques.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to discuss the science and composition of asphalt pavements, including aggregates, bitumen, additives, and how hot-mix and cold-mix asphalt differ from one another.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to analyze a more sustainable asphalt that is made with recycled materials such as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS).
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to explore other sustainability strategies for asphalt pavement such as the use of bio-bitumen and porous asphalt.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to utilize timely inspections, innovative crack sealing and new repair technologies to improve sustainability.
