Effect of traffic and environment on pavement. Analysis of stress from axle loads. Characterisation of pavement materials. Empirical and mechanistic-empirical design methods.
1. Students will be able to understand the different types of pavement distresses in both flexible and rigid pavements and therefore the design criteria for these pavements (Washington Accord WA1), (UC EIE2, EIE3)2. Understand the principles of the Performance Grading System for asphalt binder, aggregates requirements for hot mix asphalts (Washington Accord WA1), (UC EIE3, GA3)3. Understand and apply the details of the Superpave Mix Design and the Equivalent Austroads “Gyrpac” mix design (Washington Accord WA1, WA2), (UC EIE3)4. Understand the application of sustainable approaches in pavement design through the recycling of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement “RAP” in Hot in Plant “HIP” and Hot in Place Recycling “RIP” (Washington Accord WA7) (UC EIE2, EIE3)5. Students will be able to analyse multilayer pavement system under actual traffic axle loads and calculate stresses, strains and deflections at critical locations in the pavement system (Washington Accord WA1, WA2, WA5), (UC EIE2, EIE3, EIE4)6. Be able to calculate stresses strains and deflections in Rigid Pavements using Westergaard method and be able to calculate the design steel in rigid pavements. (Washington Accord WA2, WA3, WA5), (UC EIE3, EIE5)7. Be able to calculate the design traffic for both flexible and rigid pavements (Washington Accord WA1, WA3, WA4, WA5), (UC EIE2, EIE3)8. Be able to make complete design of flexible pavements using mechanistic-empirical analysis according to the latest design guidelines; (Washington Accord WA1, WA3), (UC EIE3)9. Students will be able to analyse exiting pavement structures using non-destructive data from the falling Weight Deflectometer and conduct backcalculations to pavements’ layers moduli (Washington Accord WA1, WA4), (UC EIE2, EIE3)

Special Considerations Any student who has been impaired by significant exceptional and/or unforeseeable circumstances that have prevented them from completing any major assessment items, or that have impaired their performance such that the results are not representative of their true level of mastery of the course material, may apply for special consideration through the formal university process. The applicability and academic remedy/action associated with the special consideration process is listed for each assessment item below. Please refer to the University Special Consideration Regulations and Special Consideration Policies and Procedures documents for more information on the acceptable grounds for special consideration and the application process. Quizzes/Lab ReportSpecial consideration is not applicable as the individual assignments and laboratory report are worth < 10% of the course grade. No alternative arrangements will be offered for any missed assignment regardless of the circumstances. However, an extension can be granted for evidence-supported requests. Extensions will typically be for up to one week, but the duration will be considered on a case-by- case basis. Students seeking an extension must contact the course coordinator as soon as possible with evidence of their situation, and preferably before the due date.30% Test and Final ExamAcademic remedy for special consideration on the midterm test or the final exam will be an equivalent alternative assessment. These alternative assessments are only available to students who have approved special consideration applications for the assessments at an appropriate severity level.The mark on these alternative assessments will replace the original mark in the course grade calculation unless the student declines the offer or otherwise does not sit an alternative assessment, in which case the original mark will be used.The alternative assessments for this course will be held on-line using Respondus Lockdown browser within 2 to 3 weeks from the original date of the test or final exam. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are available for these dates if you want to benefit from the academic remedy for your special consideration.All communication associated with the arrangements of these equivalent alternative assessments will be conducted using official UC email accounts. The offer to sit an alternative assessment will come with a date/time during the resit week. Students will have a clearly specified amount of time to respond to the offer. Failure to respond will be interpreted as a declined offer.If a student has applied for special consideration but the application has not yet been approved when arrangements are being made for the alternative sitting, they may be permitted to sit the alternative assessment, but the mark will only be applied if the application is approved by the special consideration committee at an appropriate severity level.
This course does not have a required text and instead provides notes and other resources on LEARN. Austroads guidelines and other detailed materials for Superepave Mix Design are provided on Learn. Please note that all lecture recordings, made available through LEARN, are copyright and are not for public dissemination.
Generative AI ToolsIn all assessments, students are strictly prohibited from using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to generate any materials or content related to the assessments. This is because students must present their own work that reflects their understanding of the course materials. The use of AI-generated content is not permitted and may be considered a breach of academic integrity. Please ensure that all work submitted is the result of your own human knowledge, skills, and efforts.Code of Behaviour and Academic IntegrityAll students are expected to be familiar with the University’s codes, policies, and procedures including but not limited to the Student Code of Conduct, Campus Drug and Alcohol Policy, Copyright Policy, Disability and Impairment Policy, and Equity and Diversity Policy. It is the responsibility of each student to be familiar with the definitions, policies and procedures concerning academic misconduct/dishonest behaviour. More information on UC’s policies and academic integrity can be found in the undergraduate handbook as well as at:https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/about-uc/corporate-information/policieshttps://www.canterbury.ac.nz/about-uc/what-we-do/teaching/academic-integrity
