OBJECTIVE
 Student gains knowledge on various IRC guidelines for designing flexible and rigid
pavements. Further, he/she will be in a position to assess quality and serviceability
conditions of roads.
UNIT I TYPE OF PAVEMENT AND STRESS DISTRIBUTION ON LAYERED SYSTEM 9
Introduction - Pavement as layered structure - Pavement types - flexible and rigid -Stress and
deflections in pavements under repeated loading
UNIT II DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS 9
Flexible pavement design - Empirical - Semi empirical and theoretical Methods - Design
procedure as per latest IRC guidelines – Design and specification of rural roads
UNIT III DESIGN OF RIGID PAVEMENTS 9
Cement concrete pavements - Modified Westergard approach - Design procedure as per latest
IRC guidelines - Joints in rigid pavements - Concrete roads and their scope in India.
UNIT IV PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND MAINTENANCE 9
Pavement Evaluation [Condition and evaluation surveys (Surface Appearance, Cracks, Patches
And Pot Holes, Undulations, Ravelling, Roughness, Skid Resistance), Structural Evaluation By
Deflection Measurements, Present Serviceability Index]
Pavement maintenance. [IRC Recommendations Only]
UNIT V STABILISATION OF PAVEMENTS 9
Stabilisation with special reference to highway pavements - Choice of stabilisers -Testing and
field control –Stabilisation for rural roads in India -use of Geosynthetics (geotextiles & geogrids)
in roads.
