Overview

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

  • Understand key components and factors necessary for the cost-effective design of flexible and rigid pavements.
  • Be able to identify design and construction features that may negatively impact the performance of pavements.
  • Assist in developing specifications to ensure the performance of pavements.

Description
This webinar illustrates the impact of design, construction and maintenance features on the long-term performance of flexible and rigid pavements. The primary design, specification and construction factors contributing to the long-term functional and structural performance of pavements ranging from parking lots to municipal roadways, airports and major highways are discussed.

Through a series of case studies, positive and negative features are presented to give the participant a good understanding of what we can do better to ensure the cost-effective use of transportation investments.
