Introduction to European and American Pavement Design Standards

Overview

Through the study of this course, you can gain an in-depth understanding of several pavement design standards, such as AASHTO Design Guide for Pavement Structures, AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design, Asphalt Institute (AI) Flexible Pavement Design Standard, SHELL pavement design method, Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) in the UK, French pavement design standards and German pavement design standards.

Moreover, you can also identify the similarities and differences of pavement design standards between Europe and America, so as to understand the design principles and ideas of different national design standards.

At the background of the Belt and Road strategy and the construction of transportation power, China's standards should go global. So, it is necessary to master the pavement design standards in foreign countries.
