Effect of traffic and environment on pavement. Analysis of stress from axle loads. Characterisation of pavement materials. Empirical and mechanistic-empirical design methods.
1. Students will be able to understand the different types of pavement distresses in both flexible and rigid pavements and therefore the design criteria for these pavements (Washington Accord WA1), (UC EIE2, EIE3)2. Understand the principles of the Performance Grading System for asphalt binder, aggregates requirements for hot mix asphalts (Washington Accord WA1), (UC EIE3, GA3)3. Understand and apply the details of the Superpave Mix Design and the Equivalent Austroads “Gyrpac” mix design (Washington Accord WA1, WA2), (UC EIE3)4. Understand the application of sustainable approaches in pavement design through the recycling of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement “RAP” in Hot in Plant “HIP” and Hot in Place Recycling “RIP” (Washington Accord WA7) (UC EIE2, EIE3)5. Students will be able to analyse multilayer pavement system under actual traffic axle loads and calculate stresses, strains and deflections at critical locations in the pavement system (Washington Accord WA1, WA2, WA5), (UC EIE2, EIE3, EIE4)6. Be able to calculate stresses strains and deflections in Rigid Pavements using Westergaard method and be able to calculate the design steel in rigid pavements. (Washington Accord WA2, WA3, WA5), (UC EIE3, EIE5)7. Be able to calculate the design traffic for both flexible and rigid pavements (Washington Accord WA1, WA3, WA4, WA5), (UC EIE2, EIE3)8. Be able to make complete design of flexible pavements using mechanistic-empirical analysis according to the latest design guidelines; (Washington Accord WA1, WA3), (UC EIE3)9. Students will be able to analyse exiting pavement structures using non-destructive data from the falling Weight Deflectometer and conduct backcalculations to pavements’ layers moduli (Washington Accord WA1, WA4), (UC EIE2, EIE3)

Special Considerations Any student who has been impaired by significant exceptional and/or unforeseeable circumstances that have prevented them from completing any major assessment items, or that have impaired their performance such that the results are not representative of their true level of mastery of the course material, may apply for special consideration through the formal university process. The applicability and academic remedy/action associated with the special consideration process is listed for each assessment item below. Please refer to the University Special Consideration Regulations and Special Consideration Policies and Procedures documents for more information on the acceptable grounds for special consideration and the application process. Special Consideration for AssignmentsAn extension will be granted for evidence-supported requests. Extensions will typically be for up to one week, but the duration will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students seeking an extension must contact the course coordinator as soon as possible with evidence of their situation, and preferably before the due date.Special Consideration for Midterm TestsSerious/Severe Impact: Students will be offered an equivalent alternative test that will replace their original test mark. This test will be held in the first weeks of Semester 2 at a date to be advised by the course coordinator.Moderate Impact: A derived mark based on performance relative to the class on all assessment items will apply.Special Consideration for Final ExamSerious/Severe Impact: Students will be offered an equivalent alternative exam that will replace their original exam mark. This exam will be held in the week immediately following the exam period.Moderate Impact: A derived mark based on performance relative to the class on all assessment items will apply
