1 Pavement types and functions There are two main types of pavements: flexible and rigid. Flexible pavements are composed of asphalt or bituminous materials that can deform under traffic loads.

This course will focus on the fundamentals of pavement design, construction and management systems. Structural behaviour of flexible and rigid pavements will be discussed in detail. Other topics ...

In standard rigid pavement designs, the Portland cement concrete replaces the asphaltic layer in a flexible pavement. To resist wears due to braking actions of vehicles it must be well prepared ...

On the other hand, rigid or concrete pavements consist of a concrete slab founded on the natural ground (subgrade) with or without the multiple sub-layers common in flexible pavements.

The paper considers the documents of technical regulation in terms of designing flexible road pavements, which were put into effect in 2021. The current approach to the design of flexible pavements ...

Based on fracture mechanics and ABAQUS finite element method, this paper calculates stress intensity factor of the asphalt pavement structure with the graded broken stone transition layer and ...
