Pavement Design Using the DMRB – *Includes 2020 Changes*
- Pavement Design Training focuses on DMRB Standards for highway professionals.
- DMRB undergoes continuous review to reflect industry best practices.
- New Standards for Traffic Assessment, Pavement Design, and Materials.
- Course enables understanding and application of new pavement design suite.
- Intended for civil, highway, pavement, and transportation engineers.
Overview
The Pavement Design Training course provides an essential introduction to the Design Manual for Roads & Bridges (DMRB) standards in the UK. It focuses on the latest revisions of key standards, covering traffic assessment, pavement foundations, construction, and surface materials. The course aims to equip civil, highway, pavement, and transportation engineers with the knowledge and confidence to undertake pavement designs effectively. Led by an expert in asphalt and pavement engineering, the one-day training session covers principles of pavement design, asphalt technology, traffic loading assessment, foundation design, and material selection for highway pavements.
Who should attend
Civil, highway, pavement, and transportation engineers.
Course Content
The Design Manual for Roads & Bridges (DMRB) dictates how the majority of major highways are designed in the UK. Mandatory for Trunk Road schemes including motorways, it is also utilised by the majority of local authorities and highway design consultants for the design and maintenance of non-Trunk Roads.
Originally published in 1992, the DMRB has undergone continuous review and update to reflect best practice in the industry. It is currently undergoing fundamental revision. All the existing Standards are being replaced as follows:
CD 224 – Traffic Assessment
CD 225 – Design for new pavement foundations
CD 226 – Design for new pavement construction
CD 236 – Surface Course Materials for construction
The date by which all new Standards will be published is currently scheduled to be 31 March 2020. Synergie Training will be providing courses which are essential for all highway professionals very soon after publication of the new Standards with the first course scheduled for the 28 April 2020 in Glasgow.
This one-day course focuses on these Standards and considers their content, impact and implementation in design, providing an effective introduction to pavement design using the DMRB.
This course will enable delegates to understand the scope and application of the new pavement design suite and have the confidence and knowledge to undertake designs to the latest revisions of the key Standards. It will deliver essential advice, knowledge and capability to those involved in pavement design. A supporting session considers key properties of pavements and asphalts.
The tutor is recognised as a leading authority on asphalts and pavement engineering. He is a Chartered Civil Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers and has edited and contributed to several important published texts addressing highway design and road construction and maintenance.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this course delegates should:
- Have a broad understanding on the structure and scope of the Standards that govern pavement design;
- Appreciate the principles of pavement design and asphalt technology;
- Be confident in the assessment of traffic loading for design;
- Be familiar with the principles behind the design of pavement foundations;
- Be able to design pavements with reasonable confidence; and
- Be aware of materials available for the construction of highway pavements.
Intended for
Civil, highway, pavement and transportation engineers involved in the design and construction of highway schemes.
