FAF3305 Pavement Design and Performance Prediction 3.0 credits

The coures is based on the lectures and laboratory sessions on the following topics:

• State-of-practice structural design of flexible pavements
• Functional properties of pavement materials
• Mechanics-based pavement performance prediction approaches
• Impact of climate change  on infrastructure

After the course, the student shall:

• have sufficient knowledge of numerical and experimental tools for pavement structural design and performance prediction, to be able to apply them for pavement structural and material design optimizations.
• have a systematic knowledge of material and loading factors affecting pavements performance in the field.
• have an up-to-date knowledge regarding emerging approaches to pavement design and performance prediction.

Master degree or equivalent basic eligibility to PhD studies in engineering

The course literature is decided before each course round. The literature is announced in the course program.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Hand in assignment, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
