Course Objectives:
This course will enable students to
- Gain knowledge about the process of collecting data required for design, factors affecting pavement design, and maintenance of pavement.
- Excel in the path of analysis of stress, strain and deflection in pavement.
- Understand design concepts of flexible pavement by various methods (CBR, IRC 37-2001, Mcleods, Kansas ) and also the same of rigid pavement by IRC 58-2002
- Understand the various causes leading to failure of pavement and remedies for the same.
- Develop skills to perform functional and structural evaluation of pavement by suitable methods.
