This research proposes to link the design method and calibrated deterioration models to local conditions that consider the actual behavior of the materials, the variability of the construction process, the actual load stresses and the weather, when in operation. In addition, the chosen value is deterministic and does not consider the random nature of the process or the actual conditions of load, climate, material behavior and impact of the construction process that affect the performance of the structure when it is in service. Pavement Construction: Embankment, Subgrade, Subbase and Base courses, Bituminous Surface courses, Internal and Surface Drainage of Pavements, Pavement Evaluation, Maintenance and Strengthening.The reliability used in the pavement design is assigned according to recommendations of design guides or according to the designer’s criteria that is to say, there is no rational tool for their estimation.

Pavement Design: Flexible and Rigid Pavements, Principles of Design, Empirical and Analytical Design Procedures. Pavement Materials: Functions, Specifications and Evaluation, Bituminous Mix Design. Geometric Design of Highways: Cross-sectional Elements, Horizontal and Vertical Alignments, Geometric Design of Intersections – Rotaries etc. Highway Alignment Study: Controls for selection of Alignment, Engineering Surveys. Stages in the Preparation of Project Report: Prioritization, Feasibility Studies, Preparation of Preliminary and Detailed Project Reports.Įlements of Traffic Engineering: Fundamentals of Traffic Flow, Traffic Studies, Concepts of Capacity and Level of Service, Travel Demand Forecasting for Highways, Design of Signalized Intersections. Financing of Road Projects – Past and Present Trends Various Highway Developmental Projects, like Golden Quadrilateral and East-West & North - South Corridors under NHDP, PMGSY etc. Modes of Transportation: Their importance and limitations, and the importance of Highway Transportation. Sudhakar Reddy give 41 video lectures on the concepts of Transportation Engineering. Concrete Pavement Design PCA and AASHTO Methods.Concrete Pavement Design Indian Congress Method.
