General Information

Summary:
This course presents basic math skills needed by construction inspectors working on highway and bridge construction projects.
Participants will immerse themselves in typical inspection roles and learn how to approach math problems as they would in the field.
Participants are expected to calculate and answer the practice questions presented throughout the training class. This will account for 50% of the final grade.
The other 50% will be a test at the end of the class.

Learning Outcomes:
• Solve mathematical problems related to construction inspection activities such as:
o Grading and excavation;
o Slope and grade calculation;
o Basic geometry including area and volume calculations used to determine field quantities.
o Basic math calculation rules regarding units
o Numerical rounding rules and Differential leveling
o HMA paving inspection including yield and tonnage calculations
o Structure inspection such as cement volume and water cement ratios.

Final Exam:
No
