CE5320 — Adv Pavement Mat & Design
This course contains both lecture and lab classes. in the lecture class, students will learn the following: (i) mixture design procedures for concrete and asphalt pavements with and without the application of recycled materials; (ii) mechanistic design of pavement using 'MnPAVE' and 'AASHTOW are Pavement ME Design' procedures, and (iii) pavement construction procedures. In the laboratory class, students will learn the following: (i) perform the mixture design for asphalt and concrete pavement materials for a real-world pavement project, (ii) conduct performance tests on the samples prepared with their own mixture designs, and (iii) participate field trips to monitor recent trends in the material mixture design and pavement construction procedures. Students will prepare a project report and present to the class towards the end of the semester. The lab report and project report will a group work. Students will need to interact with the experts from the pavement industry for completing the project report. This course will also be offered as 4320; the student taking this course as CE 5320 will need to do more homework assignments than those who are taking it as CE 4320. This course may have a course fee. pre-req: CE 3027
