FORTA Training Seminars Include Information Regarding:

Adding FORTA reinforcement products to asphalt creates a matrix of strength and durability. This offers fewer cracks, fewer potholes, and more peace of mind.

Over the years, asphalt pavement projects reinforced with FORTA-FI® have been put to the test in hundreds of real-world head-to-head Control vs. Fiber trial projects around the world. In these projects, asphalt mixtures reinforced with FORTA-FI have been placed in direct competition with asphalt mixtures that are not reinforced with fiber in order to accurately compare the performance results.

FORTA has been involved in a considerable amount of research over the years. Our FORTA-FI blend has been tested in university studies, pavement test tracks, has been the source of multiple research papers.

The New York State Department of Transportation has spent years researching the real world benefits of fiber reinforcement in composite overlay applications. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and why NYSDOT chose to use FORTA to create stronger, longer lasting roads.

FORTA Asphalt projects have been put to the test in projects all around the globe. From Formula 1 to NASA, from DOTs to local roads, FORTA does it all.

FORTA is accepted by the American Institute of Architects as a registered provider of Continuing Education System credits. AIA members can obtain C.E.S. credits for the FORTA program: “Fiber Reinforced Concrete”.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Understand the four most important fiber characteristics and how they affect performance in concrete.
  • Use a 4-C’s fiber formula to objectively compare fiber types and brands.
  • Understand the two basic performance levels of synthetic fibers: temperature/crack control reinforcement and structural property enhancing reinforcement.
  • Determine appropriate real-world applications for both levels of synthetic fiber reinforcement.
