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)
Statistical Methodology and Statistical Computer Software in Transportation 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.
Monday, January 14, 2008, 1:30 PM - 3:15 PM, Marriott
Gary A. Davis, University of Minnesota, presiding
Sponsored by:
Statistical Methodology and Statistical Computer Software in Transportation Research Committee (ABJ80)
Note: This session aims to provide not-so-obvious guidance and advice on the general improvement of TRB-related research and technical papers. Experts in statistical methods and research were hand-picked to provide insightful lessons for both experienced and novice researchers.
