Develop the skills to characterize traffic loads for structural design of pavements. Develop the skills to design the most cost-effective flexible or rigid pavement system. Develop the ability to calculate critical stresses, strains, and deformations in flexible and rigid pavements, using both manual methods and computer models, and interpret the results to evaluate the potential performance of pavements. The course teaches the students interrelationships between material properties and structural design of pavements. It also addresses the student's ability to use analytical tools, including computer models, to evaluate specific pavement designs.
Homeworks are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
