PEC-Sponsored Seminar on Flexible Pavement Design, Rehabilitation

Denver, Colorado

There are consulting engineers and local agencies with limited knowledge about the details on design and rehabilitation of flexible pavements. To help reach these groups, the NAPA/SAPA Pavement Economics Committee (PEC) sponsored development of a course on flexible pavement design and rehabilitation offered and hosted by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Dr. David Timm from Auburn University and consultant Mike Huner developed the course, which teaches attendees how to design a flexible pavement; how to use PaveXpress, a free web-based pavement design tool developed through the PEC; and how to compute flexible pavement responses using layered elastic analysis. Other topics covered in the class include asphalt material properties, asphalt pavement distress types and identification, and real-world production and construction limitations. The first course will be offered on Nov. 17–18 in Denver. Additional courses will be offered by ASCE in 2017 in Seattle, Atlanta, and Boston. Click here to register for the Denver course.
