Textbook: Pavement Analysis and Designby Yang H. Huang, Second Edition, Pearson Prentice
Hall, New Jersey, 2004 (not required)
Handouts: Supplementary handouts will periodically be distributed in class.
Others: Pavement Design andMaterials, by A. T. Papagiannakis and E. A. Masad, John Wiley
and Sons, 2008.
The Design and Performance of Road Pavements, by D. Croney and P. Croney, Second
Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1991.
HighwayMaterials, Soils and Concrete, by H. N. Atkins, Third Edition, Prentice Hall,
1980.
Principles of Pavement Design, by E. J. Yoder and M. W. Witczak, Second Edition,
Wiley Interscience, 1975.Course Objectives: To introduce the student to the principles of empirical and mechanistic-empirical
structural pavement design. Traffic characterization, materials selection and testingprocedures will also
be addressed so, at the end of the course, the student will be able to design selected pavement structures
for a number of typical performance standards, material availability andenvironmental conditions.
Students will also be introduced to the concepts of pavement performance and design reliability.
