Course Catalogue.

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Identify challenges associated with the design and construction of modern pavement systems, including roadway embankments
• Assess the geotechnical inputs needed for the design of pavements and embankments
• Evaluate and select appropriate remediation measures for pavement subgrades and embankment foundations
• Develop alternatives for addressing foundation and subgrade problems during design and construction
• Complete the design procedures of an asphalt pavement system

Description
The course covers the latest methods and procedures to address the geotechnical issues in pavement design, construction, and performance. These methods can be applied to new construction, reconstruction, and pavement rehabilitation projects. The content includes geotechnical assessment, testing and characterization of in-place and constructed subgrades, and designing and constructing pavement subgrades and unbounded materials for paved roads.

The course is designed to cover the elements of the empirical and mechanistic-empirical design approaches. It will cover asphalt pavements, including granular layers and HMA mixes, specifications, and main aspects of construction.
