Course Objective

The aim of the course is to explain principles governing the types of pavements and design processes. Data sets will be analyzed that should be used in design.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Clasification of the pavements with details
2   to be able to compare the superiority of pavement types according to each other technically and economically
3   to be able to examine the road superstructure and the deterioration of the road superstructure
4   To examine design process criteria with details
5   To solve each superstructure projecting method with examples
