CE 555 - Pavement and Track Structural Design

3 credit(s)
The efficient design, construction, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure is a critical challenge facing all transportation modes. This course will cover the mechanistic-empirical design method as it applies to the structural design and performance of flexible highway pavement and railroad track. Covering basic engineering properties of materials, design methodology, maintenance options, and application of design concepts to rehabilitation, this course will provide guidance on evaluation of field conditions, the importance of material properties, maintenance and repair strategies, and design trade-offs.
Prerequisite(s): CE 430, graduate standing, or permission of instructor.
