Asphalt Materials and Flexible Pavements

An understanding of the properties and performance of asphalt and the design, construction and maintenance of asphalt pavements is a fundamental requirement for a highway engineer and those in associated disciplines. However, undergraduate courses are generally unable to cover these subjects in sufficient detail. This course has been designed primarily for highways-related operatives, technicians, engineers and managers or anyone who wishes to extend their knowledge of asphalt materials, pavement design, construction and maintenance. The course will also serve more senior professional engineers who wish to update their knowledge of asphalt materials and flexible pavement design, construction and maintenance.

The course serves personnel at all levels in the highways sector (both public and private) that are involved in, or responsible for, the design, specification, procurement, supply, installation, assessment or maintenance of highways and highway materials.

Professional institutions stress the need for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to ensure that Engineers and technical staff are aware of the latest developments in their field of expertise, and able to apply them. Some institutions set annual targets for the appropriate amount of time that should be spent on CPD. This course is designed to meet this need, by providing an overview of the asphalt and flexible pavement industry, focusing on current practices, new developments and recent innovations.
