Rigid pavements are composed of concrete that could be either reinforced or non-reinforced. Rigid pavement can function as the complete paving system or as a base pavement, on which an overlay is to be placed. Rigid pavements are used on airfield runways and some taxiways.
This 6 hour course will discuss the design and construction of rigid pavements. The subbase and base characteristics will also be discussed. Examples of calculation are given in the text which aid the reader in the various calculations associated with rigid pavement design.
This course can be used by anyone with an interest in runway design, airport design and planning, roadway design, structural and materials engineering. This course is also perfect for those individuals working in the construction materials testing fields that utilize the test methods that are discussed in the text. After reading this course the student will know the basic information regarding Airfield Rigid Pavement Design.
The course materials are based solely on the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Manual “Airfield Rigid Pavement Design” as found on the website of the Army Corps of Engineers.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.
