Concrete Pavements 101 - Design, Construction and Rehabilitation of Concrete Pavements Current Course Offering This highly regarded course presents the theory and practice of designing and constructing concrete pavements. The course is intended primarily for engineers and technicians with a need for more in-depth knowledge of current concrete pavement technology. Both theory and practice are covered in this course and the discussion ranges from basic definitions to the latest design and construction methods. The course is modular and can be adapted to the specific needs of the sponsor. The course typically includes: •Concrete pavement types and design features • Overview of concrete pavement design methods • AASHTO pavement design procedure (1993 and 1998) • Mechanistic-Empirical pavement design procedure • StreetPave (ACPA design method) • Subgrades and bases • Concrete mix design • Construction operations • Life-cycle cost analysis • Strategy selection for pavement rehabilitation • Pavement restoration procedures • Overlay design and construction This course is typically requested by state agencies prior to ramping up their concrete pavement program. Attendees have included agency personnel, contractors, consultants, testing companies, military personnel and university professors and graduate students. Two courses are offered per year on a regional basis. The course duration is typically three days but can be altered at the sponsor’s request.
