The Construction Cycle of Pavements
An industry-focused 84-page technical analysis of pavements and the various stages of pavement construction. This thesis is split into three parts:
Part 1: Site & Fault Analysis
Part 2: Pavement Design
Part 3: Pavement Construction
Site Analysis
- Looking at the local context that pavements are placed in and examining its appropriateness
- Analysing the types of wear that a pavement is likely to face
Fault detection & examining wear patterns
- Visual inspections of pavement surfaces
- Calculating the risk faults pose to the failure of the pavement
Following AustRoads Guidelines for Pavement Design
- Reading, understanding and using the guidelines set out by leading industry bodies
- Designing segments of pavements that meet the requirements set by following written procedure
Preparing specifications for pavement construction
- Transforming design into action
- Creating a set of clear instructions to be carried out for the proper construction of pavements
