Overview

This course brings further understanding in pavement design and analysis. The aim of this course is to enable students to use the analytical methods in the design and analysis of various pavement types so that they will be prepared for involvements in various pavement projects. Moreover, students will learn about behaviour and performance of standard and marginal pavement materials, pavement maintenance and life-cycle cost analysis.

This course presents various analytical/computer tools for the design and analysis of various heavy-duty pavements. The course develops the principles and techniques of pavement design and analysis to the post graduate level. More advanced concepts are explored in the areas of pavement material characterisation, mechanistic pavement design, pavement evaluation and pavement maintenance.

Course learning outcomes

After successfully completing this course students should be able to:

  1. Research and apply established theories to evaluate pavement stress regimes and use appropriate pavement material characterisation methods.
  2. Assess the potential use of marginal pavement materials (including recycled materials) and transmit ideas to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  3. Formulate and devise complex pavement material improvement techniques.
  4. Apply advanced theoretical and integrated practical knowledge in pavement design and analysis for: mine haul and unsealed roads; flexible pavements; and concrete pavements.
  5. Assess key performance indicators for various pavements and determine maintenance and rehabilitation options.
  6. Reflect on and synthesise complex concepts and theories in the use of Life Cycle Cost Analysis to evaluate pavement design options and in the application of Pavement Management System to plan maintenance actions.
