CPE 655/605/KNE507: Pavement Maintenance & Rehabilitation


This unit examines the different ways a pavement shows distress both structural and non-structural. Modes of distress including disintegration, distortion, cracking and fracture are described together with problems relating to safety and damage caused by external factors. Evaluation techniques are presented which can be used to assess the condition of a pavement with respect to serviceability, structural capacity and safety. The unit considers restoration using granular materials, full depth asphalt and concrete. Structural overlays are described along with details of stress absorbing layers. Corrective maintenance treatments are discussed at length and the unit concludes with the economic evaluation of alternative maintenance strategies.
