Course Highlights
This online engineering CPD course provides a comprehensive analysis of cracking in jointed plain concrete pavements, focusing on the mechanisms that lead to premature cracking.
This course explores the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program, including the impact of slab properties, base types, and environmental factors on pavement durability. Also, this course delves into key findings from extensive research, examining longitudinal and transverse cracking through real-world data from various climatic zones. It covers the significance of slab thickness, base material, and construction practices, as well as the new hypotheses surrounding voiding beneath pavement slabs due to slab curl and localized soil deformation. This evidence-based approach equips engineers with the knowledge to improve pavement design and maintenance strategies.
This 1 CPD online course is applicable to civil and structural engineers, as well as other technical professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of concrete pavement performance.
