Description:
Pavements are one of the main components of our transportation and infrastructure systems. By daily expansion of our ground transportation systems and higher costs of construction, maintenance and rehabilitations of pavements, highway agencies are facing challenges to keep serviceability of their pavements to an acceptable level. During the last two decades, the issue of proper design, high quality construction as well as optimum maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements have been the focus of highway agencies, contactors, consulting engineers, and researchers. With the relatively large investment involved in pavements, even marginal improvement in managing this investment, and in the technology involved, may effect very large absolute dollar saving. In addition to direct saving in capital costs and maintenance, the indirect benefits to the road users can be equally significant.
Objective:
The main objective of this workshop is to provide participants with a through understanding of important factors in pavement design, maintenance and rehabilitation. The focus will be on practices of pavement design and maintenance used by Canadian highway agencies.
Related Jobs or Careers: The workshop is intended for pavement owners/users, consulting engineers, contractors and engineering technologists. A basic bac
