This module, "Flexible and Rigid Paving Mixes," extensively covers Bituminous Paving Mixes, focusing on critical aspects such as Stone Polishing Value and Stripping Value. It guides learners through Marshall bituminous mix design, aiding in the evaluation of key performance indicators for Bituminous Paving Mix. Additionally, the module provides insights into Portland Cement, including its properties and applications in Cement Concrete. It also explores the purposes of admixtures and highlights the significance of DLC and PQC mix design in concrete for pavement construction.

In this module, "Design of Flexible Pavements," learners will gain insights into the composition and design principles of flexible pavements, including the use of IITPAVE software. The course covers the latest guidelines, such as IRC:37 – 2018, and explores the mechanistic-empirical performance design approach to predict pavement durability. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the importance of material properties. Additionally, learners will study long-life flexible pavements, including their design philosophy and advantages over conventional options.

In this module, "Design of Rigid Pavements," learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of rigid pavements, including their types, advantages, and disadvantages. The course covers design guidelines according to IRC: 58 for pavement design and material properties for different layers, along with factors influencing rigid pavement design such as traffic loads and temperature differentials. Participants will explore critical stresses, failure modes, and the use of regression equations for stress calculations. Additionally, the module addresses various types of joints in rigid pavements and provides insights into the necessary input data, design steps, and essential checks required at the end of the pavement design process, concluding with a practical example.
