To enable the students to understand the properties of the different materials to be used in the construction of highways and other allied structures, characterize the materials and evaluate their suitability;
To understand the principle of soil stabilization along with its significance and different types of stabilization techniques; and also, to study the concept of reinforced soil in the construction of highway and allied structures.
To enable the students to understand the classification and behaviour of different types of pavements, factors to be considered in the design of pavements, approaches for designing the different types of pavements using various design methodologies
To study the various methods of construction of different types of pavements including semi-rigid pavements and composite pavements, to study the different types of distresses in pavements, evaluation of existing pavements and methods to strengthen the distressed pavements, low volume and low-cost road and also to understand the significance of the drainage in the field of highway engineering including different methods of providing the drainage in the highways.
