Pavement Design for Engineering Students

This course outline provides information for a pavement analysis and design course offered in the civil engineering department at the University of Somalia. The course objectives include understanding pavement engineering concepts, different pavement types, materials testing, flexible and rigid pavement analysis and design using AASHTO methods. The schedule lists weekly topics such as soils, aggregates, asphalt binders, mix design, and flexible and rigid pavement design. Students will be evaluated based on a midterm exam worth 40% and a final exam worth 60% of their total grade.
