Course detail

Pavement diagnostics and management

FAST-CM51Acad. year: 2011/2012

Road and street functions, user requirements and serviceability characteristics. Outer and inner causes of failure mechanisms, definition of different mechanisms and their development characteristics. Examples of diagnostics of asphalt, Portland cement a bricks pavement with design of maitenance. Pavement management systems for road network. Each student evaluate servicebility and failure of road, bearing capacity on base of falling weight deflectometer, field and laboratory tests and prepare design of variant maintenance and repair of pavement.
