Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Pavements
Fee: $1,595 / Online / Jan 27 - 28, 2027 / Course Code: 17-0106-ONL27
OVERVIEW
Please note, This instructor-led course has specific dates and times:
This course is held online over 2 days on the following schedule (All times in Eastern Time Zone): 10 am to 6 pm Eastern (Will include the usual breaks)
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Develop pavement designs using the AASHTO 1993 Guide, tailored to optimize performance and durability.
- Utilize advanced evaluation techniques, including non-destructive testing, to assess pavement conditions and inform decision-making.
- Implement life-cycle cost analysis and maintenance strategies to maximize pavement longevity while minimizing costs.
- Design and maintain permeable pavements to improve sustainability and manage surface water runoff effectively.
- Apply rehabilitation methods to extend the functional life of pavements and manage defects in roads and sidewalks efficiently.
Description
Managing pavements effectively requires a deep understanding of design, maintenance, and evaluation methods that keep transportation infrastructure operating smoothly. Engineers must account for increased traffic loads, changing environmental conditions, and the deterioration of materials over time. This course explores the key factors that influence pavement performance and provides essential strategies for designing new pavements and rehabilitating existing ones.
Participants will learn how to assess pavement conditions using traditional and innovative approaches, such as non-destructive testing and mechanistic-empirical methods. The course will dive into preventive maintenance, rehabilitation techniques, and life-cycle costing, offering practical solutions to extend pavement life while maintaining budgetary constraints. Additional insights into permeable pavement design and maintenance ensure that engineers are equipped to integrate sustainable practices into their projects.
Through case studies and real-world examples, participants will enhance their ability to manage roads and sidewalks, identifying and addressing defects to prevent further degradation. You will also gain insights into recent developments in pavement technology, ensuring your knowledge is up-to-date with industry standards. By the end of the course, you'll have a comprehensive toolkit of techniques and best practices to design, manage, and maintain pavements most efficiently and cost-effectively.
