Course Topics:

  • Introduction: review of pavement design concepts and methods.
  • Overview of the fundamentals of mechanistic-empirical design system for new flexible and rigid pavements.
  • Structural systems (multi-layer elastic analysis for flexible pavements and FE analysis for PCC pavements.
  • Performance models for flexible pavements: distress-based models (fatigue, rutting and thermal cracking); Roughness models.
  • Performance models for Jointed PCC Pavements: distress-based models (fatigue and faulting); Roughness models.
  • Impacts of environmental changes on the pavement design, and predicted performance.
  • Update on the new AASHTO mechanistic-empirical (E-M) Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG).
  • Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program.
  • Deflection-based structural evaluation and backcalculation procedures.
  • Design of rehabilitated pavements. M-E Overlay Design System. with demonstration of the WINFLEX overlay design program
