Course Description:
Construction of highway needs various types of materials for providing better serviceability for the
various types of traffic movement. These materials must be durable against the adverse action of
weather and traffic. Moreover, highway needs a proper pavement thickness (Flexible & Rigid)
considering the action of number of traffic repetitions, material properties, sub-grade strength and
environmental condition. Pavement layers may also need stabilization for sustaining the original shape
& stability of the embankment throughout its life. So the subject deals with the above topics along
with their properties, production & applications in the pavement construction. Pavement materials
mainly covered with; aggregates, bricks, paver block, cement, bitumen, soil, MS rod, concrete,
admixtures, timber, paints, etc. The main objective is to provide basic technical knowledge of these
materials so that the students can apply this knowledge to solve pavement construction problems.
Besides, proper maintenance will be necessary for keeping desired serviceability of highway
throughout its life.
