Pavement Engineering Analysis for B.Tech 7th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Pavement Engineering B.Tech (R13) seventhsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
Student gains knowledge on various IRC guidelines for designing rigid and flexible pavements. Further, he/she will be in a position to assess quality and serviceability conditions of roads.
UNIT I : TYPE OF PAVEMENT AND STRESS DISTRIBUTION ON LAYERED SYSTEM [8 hours]
Introduction – Pavement as layered structure – Pavement types rigid and flexible. Resilient modulus – Stress and deflections in pavements under repeated loading.
UNIT II : DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS [8 hours]
Flexible pavement design factors influencing design of flexible pavement, Empirical – Semi empirical and theoretical methods – Design procedure as per IRC guidelines – Design and specification of rural roads.
UNIT III DESIGN OF RIGID PAVEMENTS [8 hours]
Cement concrete pavements factors influencing CC pavements – Modified Westergaard approach – Design procedure as per IRC guidelines – Concrete roads and their scope in India.
[TOTAL : 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES:
Students will have adequate knowledge to design flexible and rigid pavements based on IRC guidelines. Further they know various techniques to evaluate performance of pavements.
