Sustainable Concrete Pavements
Sustainable Concrete Pavements This course includes best practices related to concrete pavement design, materials, construction, use/operations, renewal, and recycling. It presents issues specific to pavement sustainability in the urban environment and to the evaluation of pavement sustainability. It presents sustainable design concepts including context-sensitive design, design attributes that directly enhance sustainability, and alternative and emerging…
Pavement Design for Roads, Streets, Walks, and Open Storage Areas
Pavement Design for Roads, Streets, Walks, and Open Storage Areas This online course provides guidance for design of pavements and supporting materials for roads, streets, walks and open storage areas. The training materials include procedures for conducting preliminary site reconnaissance, traffic analyses, and criteria for the design of subgrade, subbase, base courses, flexible and rigid…
Home Builders Guide to Earthquake Resistant Building Design
Home Builders Guide to Earthquake Resistant Building Design The purpose of this course is to familiarize the engineer with the basic principles of earthquake-resistant design for residential construction. Adequate construction is required in order for a structure to fair well during and after an earthquake. This course will cover the general earthquake-resistance requirements in the…
Conduits, Culverts, and Pipes Part II
Conduits, Culverts, and Pipes Part II This course is part two of a two-part series. It provides guidance on the design and construction of conduits, culverts, and pipes, and the design procedures for trench/embankment earth loadings, highway loadings, railroad loadings, surface concentrated loadings, internal/external fluid pressures, cast-in-place conduits for dams, circular reinforced concrete pipe for…
Deterioration of Concrete
Deterioration of Concrete A basic understanding of the underlying causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to evaluating concrete structures and selecting the method to successfully make repairs. Symptoms or observations of a deficiency must be differentiated from the actual cause of the deficiency, and it is imperative that causes – rather than symptoms – be…
Skid-resistant Airport Pavement Surfaces
Skid-resistant Airport Pavement Surfaces With the introduction of turbojet aircraft, braking performance on pavement surfaces has become more critical. Under certain conditions, hydroplaning or unacceptable loss of traction can occur, resulting in poor braking performance and possible loss of directional control. This course contains guidelines and procedures for the design and construction of skid-resistant pavement,…
