You will learn techniques for the effective assessment of the condition of flexible pavements including surface distress, roughness, structural capacity, etc. The assessment methods will be used to develop an understanding of the timing and extent of pavement maintenance, preservation and rehabilitation techniques to preserve and cost-effectively extend the service life of the pavement. You will benefit from real life examples of successes and failures of pavement rehabilitation techniques.
