Concrete Pavement Design & Construction

as of Jan 14, 2015

Sydney: July 14-15 Sydney City Council Training Facility

Level 3, 307 Pitt Street, Sydney

An intensive two day short course ideal for engineers and engineering technologists working for federal, state, or local authorities, consultants and contractors. This course is ideal for those involved in the design and construction of roads and pavements where heavier traffic and loads may be encountered.

Course Overview (2 Days) - 2015 ($1,310 early bird – $1,450, incl. GST)

….ASCP Members $1,250 incl. GST

Intended to inform on the principles & practices involved in concrete pavement design, the course program will closely follow the content in the appropriate Chapters of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology – Part 2: Pavement Structural Design and Part 4C: Materials for the Concrete Pavements, which are used as the principal references. The materials content will however cover more information than is in the current Guide, as the selection of materials is critical to producing a road/pavement design that will deliver both structural and functional performance. Appropriate joint types and their design are key elements and will be discussed in detail. The important construction aspects will also be elaborated on.

Topics Covered

o Pavement Design Systems o Construction & Maintenance Considerations o Road Environment o Subgrade Evaluation o Materials o Design Traffic and Case Study

o Structural Thickness & Pavement Design o Jointing & Reinforcement o Construction Aspects o Finishing o Worked Examples o Design Exercise and Workshop

This Course is for intensive uptake of primary knowledge on the topic and will provide an ideal base preparation for those intending to study the CPEE Distance Learning Unit “CPE610 Rigid Pavement Construction” which is part of the CPEE post graduate distance education programs specialising in Road & Pavement Engineering.

This course is supported by:

Austroads: Austroads is the Association of Australian and New Zealand road transport and traffic agencies and its members are the six Australian state and two territory road transport and traffic authorities, the Department for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA), and the N Z Transport Agency.

AustStab: The Australian Stabilisation Industry Association is a national organisation set up to educate and inform the civil engineering industry of the environmental and economic advantages of road recycling and all types of stabilisation. Its members are contractors, binder suppliers, government road authorities and plant manufacturers.

IPWEA: The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia is a professional organisation providing member services and advocacy for those involved in and delivering public works and engineering services to the community. Previously known as the Institute of Municipal Engineering Australia (IMEA), the organisation has expanded its traditional local government engineering focus to public works and thereby covering all levels of government and private practice.

Roads Australia: Roads Australia is a not-for-profit, non-political industry association. Members are drawn from all corners of the Australian road sector, and we champion the interests of a vital national asset - Australia's road transport system - and provide a forum for policy development, networking and communication. Further, we seek to draw attention to the importance of Australia's road network to the economic and social fabric of the nation, and to ensure that information and decision-making in relation to roads and road transport is well informed and reflects an appropriate level of priorities.

SRA: State Road Agencies are responsible for the management of the road network, which includes planning, designing, construction and maintaining road use through registering vehicles, licensing drivers and traffic management, and providing information and other road user services. SRAs also provide quality assured integrated investigation, testing and design services in the pavement technology and geotechnical engineering disciplines, and provides support to CPEE in developing expertise and undertaking education in all aspects of the flexible pavements industry.
