Course Introduction:

This course discusses the pavement design of roads. All three accepted methods of pavement design are covered including soil factor, R-value thickness and an introduction to MnPAVE for thickness design. Design guide will be used to review the importance of the tools for the following elements of roadway design: data collection and accurate traffic projections; sub-grade soil evaluation and best practices for enhancements; pavement section materials and specifications; and best construction practices and their effect on pavement life.

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

Discuss pavement design of roads and pavements as well as pavement design procedures
Perform exploration and testing on soil
Identify soil stabilization, soil characteristics, special sub-grade problems, filtration and drainage
Determine recycled pavement materials and implement QA/QC in construction
Explain soil behavior and the basic concepts of geotechnical engineering for design of roads and pavements
Apply soil stabilization and construction, including how to fix bad soils
Enumerate different types of road pavement
Examine traffic loads and apply marshal design method on asphalt mixes
Identify the tresses in flexible pavement
