Innovative Indicators in Pavement Structural Evaluation is an advanced course designed for professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of semi-rigid asphalt pavement evaluation. This course covers the following key components:
- Introduction to the importance and current methods of pavement structural evaluation, focusing on traditional indicators such as the Pavement Structure Strength Index (PSSI) and Structural Number (SN), and their limitations in assessing intra- and interlayer interface structural states.
- Exploration of new, comprehensive indicators including Surface/Base/Subgrade Structural State Indexes (SSSI/BSSI/GSSI) and the Interlayer Interface Structural State Index (ISSI), which evaluate intralayer remaining life, structural attenuation state, and the friction coefficient between surface and base layers.
- Introduction to the innovative Pavement Structural State Index (PaSSI), which integrates these new indicators for a holistic structural assessment.
- Comparative analysis demonstrating the advantages of the proposed indicators over traditional ones, highlighting their effectiveness in comprehensive structural evaluation.
- Practical applications and case studies showcasing the implementation and benefits of these innovative indicators in real-world scenarios.
- Discussion of future research directions and recommendations for standardizing these advanced methods to enhance pavement performance and longevity.
Participants will gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills to implement advanced indicators in pavement structural evaluation, improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of their assessments. This course is ideal for civil engineers, transportation planners, infrastructure managers, and researchers dedicated to advancing pavement evaluation techniques.
