This online engineering PDH course provides introductory information about evaluation of soil conditions, selection of materials, and design methods for pavements in seasonal frost conditions. It presents criteria and procedures for the design and construction of pavements placed on subgrade or base course materials subject to seasonal frost action. The most prevalent modes of distress in pavements and their causes are listed.
The detrimental effects of frost action in subsurface materials are manifested by non-uniform heave of pavements during the winter and by loss of strength of affected soils during the ensuing thaw period. This is accompanied by a corresponding increase in damage accumulation and a more rapid rate of pavement deterioration during the period of weakening; other related detrimental effects of frost and low temperatures are possible loss of compaction, development of permanent roughness, restriction of drainage by the frozen strata, and cracking and deterioration of the pavement surface. Hazardous operating conditions, excessive maintenance, or pavement destruction may result.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the selection, application and design of plain and reinforced portland cement concrete and asphalt concrete pavement overlays for streets, roads, parking and open storage areas.
Normally, overlays of existing pavements are used to increase the load-carrying capacity of an existing pavement or to correct a defective surface condition on the existing pavement. Of these reasons, the first requires a structural design procedure for determining the thickness of overlay; whereas the second requires only a thickness of overlay sufficient to correct the surface condition, and no increase in load-carrying capacity is considered.
The design method for overlays included in this course determines the thickness required to increase load-carrying capacity. These methods have been developed from a series of full-scale accelerated traffic tests on various types of overlays and are, therefore, empirical. These methods determine the required thickness of overlay that, when placed on the existing pavement, will be equivalent in performance to the required design thickness of a new pavement placed on subgrade.

This online engineering PDH course discusses roadway and runway design considerations for arctic and subarctic regions. It will introduce you to the design of subgrades, base courses and flexible and rigid pavements in these cold regions.
The construction of satisfactory roads and airfield runways in seasonal frost and permafrost areas is normally more difficult than in temperate regions because the imperviousness of the underlying permafrost tends to produce poor soil drainage conditions, and because disturbance of the natural surface may set in motion adjustments in thermal regime, drainage, and slope stability which may have serious and progressive consequences.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the materials, methods, delivery and placement of roller-compacted portland cement concrete pavements. It describes procedures and criteria that are applicable to the design and construction of roller-compacted concrete pavements.
Roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) employs a concrete paving technology that involves laydown and compaction of a zero-slump concrete mixture using equipment similar to that used in placement and compaction of asphaltic concrete pavement. By using these construction techniques, the potential exists to save one-third or more of the cost of conventional concrete pavement. Although the concept and technology behind RCCP is relatively new, RCCP has already proven itself cost-effective in projects including log-sorting yards, port facilities, heavy equipment parking areas, tank trails, and haul roads.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the terminology, fundamentals and methodologies for the design of drainage features in pavements.
Water has a detrimental effect on pavement performance, primarily by either weakening subsurface materials or erosion of material by free water movement. For flexible pavements, the weakening of the base, subbase or subgrade when saturated with water is one of the main causes of pavement failures. In rigid pavement, free water trapped between the rigid concrete surface and an impermeable layer directly beneath the concrete, moves due to pressure caused by loadings.
This movement of water (referred to as pumping) erodes the subsurface material creating voids under the concrete surface. In frost areas, subsurface water will contribute to frost damage by heaving during freezing and loss of subgrade support during thawing. Poor subsurface drainage can also contribute to secondary damage such as 'D' cracking or swelling of subsurface materials.
