COURS.

APERÇU

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Apply current pavement design procedures to both flexible and rigid pavement systems.
• Identify critical design and construction elements that enhance pavement performance.
• Diagnose pavement distresses, recognizing their root causes and implications.
• Execute a simplified AASHTO 93 pavement structural design with confidence.
• Advocate for effective pavement design and construction practices to improve road longevity.

Description
Pavement Design 101 introduces participants to the fundamental principles behind the design of flexible and rigid pavements. You'll explore key aspects of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 1993 pavement design procedure while also delving into the new AASHTOWare Pavement Design ME mechanistic-empirical design method. By examining both specification and construction factors, this course highlights the essential elements that influence pavements' long-term structural and functional performance.

Participants will gain insights into the positive and negative features that affect pavement performance, from material selection to construction practices. Emphasis is placed on understanding typical pavement distresses, modes of failure, and how to make informed design choices that ensure cost-effective and sustainable outcomes for transportation infrastructure.

With real-world examples and practical applications, this course provides the tools and knowledge necessary to evaluate and apply effective pavement design strategies, fostering an environment of best practices and continual improvement in road infrastructure development.

Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for roadway agency owners, municipal infrastructure staff, consultants, and contractors involved in designing and constructing roadway infrastructure. It will also benefit asset management and operations staff, personnel responsible for maintaining sidewalks and recreational trails, and those involved in inspection and testing.

Whether new to pavement design or looking to deepen your expertise, this course offers valuable insights for professionals committed to improving transportation systems.
