TTE 4831   Pavement Engineering Design

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Civil Engineer & Construct Mgt

3 sh (may not be repeated for credit)
Prerequisite: TTE 3004

The course studies the methods used to determine the thickness and composition of layers in both flexible and rigid pavements. Class works include various types of pavements, stress-strain behavior of pavement systems, characterization of paving materials, consideration of traffic in pavement design, performance prediction models and failure criteria, theoretically analyze and design of highway pavements with critical evaluation of current design practices. Hands-on practice sessions with AASHTO and PCA, the Asphalt Institute methods, are also provided.
