Learning outcomes |
The course aims to prepare students for the design and processing aspects of roads construction and maintenance: earthmoving, earthworks, pavement mechanics, paving technology and principles of road pavement maintenance management. Aspects of maintenance management of airport pavements and railway infrastructures are also addressed, as well as road signalling and safety.
The following competencies are transmitted to students:
(a) Ability to understand the execution of road earthmoving and earthworks.
(b) Ability to perform expedited design of flexible, rigid and semi-rigid road pavements and to understand the analytical design of flexible road pavements.
(c) Recognition of road signalling and safety aspects.
(d) Ability to understand road pavements maintenance management.
(e) Recognition of airport pavements and railway infrastructures maintenance management aspects.
