Course Objectives
|
Course Objectives: The course covers the design and analysis of flexible and rigid pavements. Types of pavement structures, distresses, and major rehabilitation techniques are introduced.
Course Outcomes: Upon completion of this course the student should:
- Be able to perform mechanics based analyses of pavement structures.
- Have a basic knowledge of fracture mechanics and its applications to pavement engineering.
- Learn about the fracture mechanics testing for characterization of infrastructure materials.
- Be able to apply fundamental concepts of viscoelasticity and fracture mechanics to the optimization of flexible pavement cracking resistance.
- Understand the basics of plasticity and visco-plasticity and be able to use the FEM to evaluate the performance of the pavement structures at inelastic deformations.
- Have a basic understanding of the effect the internal structure of asphalt mixture has on the material performance.
- Be familiar with the modern methods for the characterization of the internal structure of asphalt.
- Understand the mechanisms of cohesive and adhesive interactions in asphaltic materials.
