Thus, this paper firstly presents a brief historical overview of pavement design methods, highlighting early limitations of old empirical methods. Recent researches related to the characteristics of materials and associated behavior models both for materials and pavement, made it appropriate to consider updating current pavement design methods, and especially in the USA this has already been in process while in Europe uses of the methods developed in the early 1970s. Pavement Construction: Embankment, Subgrade, Subbase and Base courses, Bituminous Surface courses, Internal and Surface Drainage of Pavements, Pavement Evaluation, Maintenance and Strengthening.Pavement and mix design represent one of the key components within the life cycle of a road infrastructure, with links to political, economic, technical, societal and environmental issues. 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.
