This course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to address various challenges associated with pavements. It covers essential topics such as the impact of soils and pavement materials, roadway drainage considerations, and practical techniques for evaluating pavement conditions in the field. In addition to examining the causes of pavement distress, the course delves into effective maintenance and rehabilitation techniques, including patching, crack sealing, thin surface restoration methods, overlays, and innovative approaches utilizing new materials. The learning experience is enhanced through the presentation of case studies, real-life examples, and dedicated question and answer sessions, allowing participants to apply their knowledge and gain practical insights.

Course Objectives:

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

Who Should Attend?

Road construction engineers working in road construction, construction supervision of road projects.
