Asphalt Pavement Design, Superpave Mixes & Rehabilitation Engineering
Course Description
Provides comprehensive coverage of flexible pavement design methodologies. Covers the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, mechanistic-empirical pavement design (MEPDG), equivalent single-axle loads (ESAL), Superpave performance-graded (PG) binders, rutting and fatigue cracking mechanics, and cost-effective pavement preservation strategies.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this continuing education course, the licensee will be able to:
- Determine structural layer coefficients and total required Structural Number (SN) for flexible pavements
- Select appropriate Superpave PG binder grades based on geographic temperatures and traffic loading
- Diagnose pavement distress types including alligator cracking, rutting, block cracking, and thermal fatigue
- Design asphalt mill-and-overlay rehabilitations and evaluate full-depth reclamation (FDR) alternatives
