Course detail

Pavement diagnostics and management

FAST-0M7Acad. year: 2020/2021

Road and street functions, user requirements and conversion of them to reliability requirements and serviceability characteristics. Outer and inner causes of failure mechanisms, definition of different mechanisms, their development and characteristics. Diagnostics of asphalt, Portland cement a bricks pavement. Pavement management systems for road network. In exercises field and laboratory tests for determination of serviceability characteristics, measuring and evaluation of bearing capacity and design of maintenance and repair of pavements are presented. Individual student works are focused on pavement visual inspection, evaluation of bearing capacity based on FWD measurements and design of maintenance and repair.
