SYNOPSIS

Designing pavement is both an art and a science. Step away from cookbook designs and design pavements from the ground up, or subgrade up in this case! We will cover the fundamentals of road design, both with and without stabilization, along with AASHTO standards to ensure that your road lasts the distance!

In this course, the attendees will learn:

1.  The benefits of geogrid in pavement performance
2.  The performance review on mechanically stabilised pavement
3.  To design pavements with AASHTO 1993


WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Civil engineers, project management personnel, and any person involved in designing and managing any type of project in the construction industry.
