Description
This course consists of two modules. Students have to pass in both modules.
Module-1: Geotechnical design. It covers: nonlinear stress-strain-strength relationship; unsaturated soil mechanics; sheetpile wall; limit state design in geotechnics; shallow footing subject to significant horizontal load; and deep foundation.
Module 2: Pavement Design. It covers: natural materials for road and airfield pavement construction; investigation and field testing for pavements; bituminous materials; rigid and flexible roads and airfield pavements; structural design of unsealed and sealed pavements; pavement evaluation and maintenance; and introduction to pavement management.
