CE 3370 - Advanced Pavement Design

Institution:

Southern Utah University

Subject:

Civil Engineering

Description:

This course provides advanced analysis and design of highway and airfield pavements, with an emphasis on mechanistic-empirical (ME) design, performance prediction, constructability, and life-cycle decision-making. Topics include traffic loading characterization (ESALs and axle load spectra), climate and drainage effects, pavement material characterization (HMA, PCC, stabilized layers, and unbound base/subgrade), mechanistic response analysis (stresses, strains, deflections), distress mechanisms and models (rutting, fatigue cracking, thermal cracking, faulting, and IRI), flexible and rigid pavement structural design using AASHTO and ME concepts, rehabilitation and overlay design, pavement evaluation (FWD and condition data), and integration with pavement management and sustainability. The course includes a design project using current standards and references. (Fall, As Needed) [Graded Letter] Prerequisite(s): CE 3300 - Prerequisite Min. Grade: D-
