There are many ways to preserve concrete pavement. TRB hosted a webinar on Wednesday, August 19, 2020 from 2:00-3:30 PM Eastern that focused on three of the most common preservation activities: diamond grinding, partial depth patching, and joint resealing. For each of the activities, the presenters described the conditions leading to use of the treatment, the process of treatment application, and key aspects for a successful treatment.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Pavement Maintenance.

The slides and recording are available.
