Pavement Design - STT5826 The objective of this course is to present to the students the variables that drive the design of pavements for highways, railways and runways, along with the current methods used to determine the layers of such pavements. Three methods will be presented regarding the design of highway flexible pavements: the DNIT procedure, which is based on the CBR method, the AASHTO 1986 method, and the mechanistic method. Concerning highway concrete pavements, the following methods will be presented: the PCA 1966 and 1984 methods for jointed concrete pavements, the methods to design whitetopping concrete pavements, the method to design pavements made of interlocked blocks, and the method to design continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP). For railways, the method traditionally used in Brazil will be presented, which determines the layer thicknesses as a function of both the allowable compressive strength obtained by means of the Heukelom´s equation and the pavements compressive stress computed by the Talbot’s equation. The runway flexible pavements will be designed according to the Federal Aviation Administration method using the FAARFIELD software. The intent is to make the students familiar with the procedures used to design the most common pavements structures, making use of the procedures currently used worldwide. In addition, the methods used in Brazil for reinforcement of flexible pavements will also be presented, along with the fundamentals of pavement structural analysis and back calculation. It is recommended, although not mandatory, that the students take the course STT 5895 – Analysis of stresses and strains in pavements, in advance, as a way to get the background for this course.

The runway flexible pavements will be designed according to the Federal Aviation Administration method using the FAARFIELD software. The intent is to make the students familiar with the procedures used to design the most common pavements structures, making use of the procedures currently used worldwide. In addition, the methods used in Brazil for reinforcement of flexible pavements will also be presented, along with the fundamentals of pavement structural analysis and back calculation. It is recommended, although not mandatory, that the students take the course STT 5895 – Analysis of stresses and strains in pavements, in advance, as a way to get the background for this course.

The course also involves the presentation of techniques for obtaining 3D data - conventional topography, GPS, Lidar technology, Vants. The threedimensional visualization of the project, instead of the exclusive use of two-dimensional drawings - plans and elevations - allows for a better identification of the work interventions in its surrounding region, analysis of visual and environmental impacts, and consequently of reducing its development and implementation costs. The visualization associated with computer-driving through allows the identification of coordination flaws in vertical and horizontal alignments, which are responsible for stretches of the road with a high occurrence of accidents and the need for repair after the completion of the work.
