An introduction to various pavement design methods for rigid/ flexible pavement. Including mechanistic, empirical, and mechanistic-empiricalpavement design methods. Including design examples, and typical software used for design.

The course looks at the inception of structural pavement design and the various methodologies and tests which have been carried out to establish the current guidelines used in America, South Africa, New Zealand & Australia.

The goal of structural design is to determine the number, material composition and thickness of the different layers within a pavement structure required to accommodate a given loading regime. This includes the surface course as well as any underlying base or subbase layers.

The course also discusses of best methods of practice for pavement rehabilitation and new pavements. Design output layout and stakeholder communication in regard to design outputs.

Overall, this Module is only meant to provide a brief overview of the different structural design techniques as well as their assumptions, inputs and outputs. Detailed analysis of the design methods presented here can be found in:

Empirical Method: The AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, TRH4 &16, UTG2, Austroad :AGPT02-17Guide
Mechanistic Method: The NCHRP 1-37A Design Guide, which is still under review, and other state design procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
