Pavement Design and Management

3 credits · Graduate

This course covers all aspects of flexible, (asphalt concrete) and rigid (portland cement concrete) pavements design methods. It includes structural pavement design of new pavements and overlay, including mechanistic. (i.e., shell, Asphalt Institute, PCA), empirical, (i.e., AASHTO, Ontario) and performance prediction - oriented, (i.e., VESYS, DAMA, LTPP - observation) methods. It also includes the recent research efforts in monitoring pavement performance.
