CVEG 54503 — Production and Construction of Pavement
The life cycle of a pavement can be seen in five stages: 1) material selection, 2) structural design, 3) production and construction, 4) the life of the pavement, and 5) the end of the pavement's life. This course will focus on the production and construction of pavement, but will provide a brief overview of the first, second, fourth, and fifth stages as well. Three different types of pavements will be explored: 1) unbound granular material, 2) flexible pavement (asphalt concrete), and 3) rigid pavement (Portland cement concrete). Prerequisite: Graduate Standing. (Typically offered: Irregular)
