    This course deals with the design and analysis of asphalt and concrete pavements. Students will learn to perform mechanics-based analyses of pavement structures and apply concepts of fracture mechanics, viscoelasticity, plasticity, and visco-plasticity. They will also learn about characterizing the internal structure of asphalt mixtures and their cohesive and adhesive interactions. The course involves 11 teaching days with lectures and exercises, and students will complete homeworks and a project to pass.
