Flexible Pavement Design - Basic Principles and Practices
 
Event Description
IPWEA (NSW) and CPEE Professional Development Workshop: Coffs Harbour 11 September 2018

This workshop is a cooperative effort with the Centre for Pavement Engineering Education


FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN - basic principles & practices


COURSE OVERVIEW

Intended to inform on the basic principles & practices associated with flexible pavement design, the course program will closely follow the content in the appropriate Chapters of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology – Part 2: Pavement Structural Design, a principal reference for delegate attending the course.

The materials content will however cover more information than is in the current Guide, as the selection of materials is critical to producing a road/pavement design that will deliver both structural and functional performance. The course concentrates on unbound pavements as these are significant in the local government environment especially in non-metropolitan areas.

TOPICS COVERED
· Pavement Design Systems
· Construction & Maintenance Considerations
· Road Environment
· Subgrade Evaluation
· Unbound Pavement Materials
· Design Traffic and Case Study
· Structural Thickness of Unbound Flexible Pavements
· Design Exercise – unbound pavements
· Workshop on Unbound Pavements
