- Construction monitoring and testing requirements
- On completion of this course participants will:
- Design pavement for various traffic types and volumes
- Calculate pavement the deflection and curvature
- Knowledge of Circly design program
- Identify what testing and surveillance is required during and post pavement construction
Careers:
- **Most cost effective and environmentally friendly design solutions will be covered for new and existing pavements.
- **Calculation of pavement deflection and curvature function will be introduced in the course with examples using the design and analysis program Circly to meet Auckland Transport EPA technical requirements.
- **Mechanistic pavement design will be presented with applications using Circly software.
- **Pavement design will cover flexible (structural asphalt, thin asphalt and granular pavement modification and stabilisation).
- **Pavement testing requirements during construction is essential and hence will be introduced as an integral part to ensure that the pavement has been constructed as per the design and specifications.
- **Interactive discussions for case studies including pavement failures causes and solutions will be discussed towards the end of the course.
