This course will provide the information necessary to deal with pavement challenges. Participants will examine implications of soils and pavement materials, roadway drainage, and practical techniques for field evaluation of pavement conditions. In addition to reviewing causes of pavement, we will discuss pavement maintenance and rehabilitation techniques such as patching, crack sealing, thin surface restoration techniques, overlays, and other innovative methods and materials.
By the end of this training course, participants will know how to:
- Improve pavement life-cycle
- Understand pavement defects, their causes, and solutions
- Use maintenance and rehabilitation methods to extend the useful life of pavements
- Relate pavement design theory to practice
