CE6010 PAVEMENT ENGINEERING SYLLABUS (Elective-II)

CE6010 PAVEMENT ENGINEERING LT P C 3 0 0 3 

OBJECTIVES:
Student gains knowledge on various IRC guidelines for designing rigid and flexible pavements. Further, he/she will be in a position to assess quality and serviceability conditions of roads.

UNIT I                     TYPE OF PAVEMENT AND STRESS DISTRIBUTION ON LAYERED SYSTEM   (8)
 Introduction – Pavement as layered structure – Pavement types rigid and flexible. Resilient modulus - Stress and deflections in pavements under repeated loading.

UNIT II                    DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS                                           (10)
 Flexible pavement design factors influencing design of flexible pavement, Empirical - Semi empirical and theoretical methods – Design procedure as per IRC guidelines – Design and specification of rural roads.

UNIT III                   DESIGN OF RIGID PAVEMENTS                                                  (9)
 Cement concrete pavements factors influencing CC pavements – Modified Westergaard approach – Design procedure as per IRC guidelines – Concrete roads and their scope in India.

UNIT IV                   PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND MAINTENANCE          (10)
 Pavement Evaluation - causes of distress in rigid and flexible pavements – Evaluation based on Surface Appearance, Cracks, Patches and Pot Holes, Undulations, Raveling, Roughness, Skid Resistance. Structural Evaluation by Deflection Measurements - Pavement Serviceability index. - Pavement maintenance (IRC Recommendations only).

UNIT V                  STABILIZATION OF PAVEMENTS                                                 (8)
 Stabilisation with special reference book to highway pavements – Choice of stabilizers – Testing and field control Stabilisation for rural roads in India – use of Geosynthetics in roads.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS 

OUTCOMES:
 Students will have adequate knowledge to design flexible and rigid pavements based on IRC guidelines. Further they know various techniques to evaluate performance of pavements.
