CIV E 618 - Advanced Pavement Material and Design

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Faculty of Engineering

Main concepts of design and construction of asphalt pavement systems: Review of pavement structures, materials and testing. Superpave classification for asphalt binders. Advanced analysis/design of flexible pavement structures, including Empirical and Mechanistic-Empirical methods considering climate and environmental impacts. Identifying typical flexible pavement failures and maintenance methods. Application of non-destructive techniques to evaluate pavement load-bearing capacity and layers stiffness will be discussed. Prerequisite: Consent of the instructor.
