Sub: Short Term Course on 'Design and Performance of Pavements' under the programme GIAN

Dear Sir,

This is to inform you that due to some exigency on part of the international expert, the short term course on
"Design and performance of Pavements" under the programme Global Initiative of Academic Networks
(GIAN), initiated by MHRD, Govt. of India scheduled during 12-16 Dec 2016 was postponed. Now this
programme has been rescheduled during 19-23 June 2017. ;,

In this programme, lectures will be delivered by an eminent international expert Prof. Wynand JvdM
Steyn, Professor & Head, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa. Some
lectures pertinent to Indian condition will be delivered by eminent experts from IITs.
A course brochure and a tentative course module is attached herewith for your reference.

You are requested to depute few motivated engineers of your department for participation and take
benefits of this programme.

The course fee will be Rs. 5000/- per person. This payment may please be made to IIT Bhubaneswar either
via NEFT transfer, in favour of "CEP IIT Bhubaneswar", NC. No: 24282010001960, Syndicate Bank, IIT
Bhubaneswar Branch, IFSC Code: SYNB0002428 or through Demand Draft, in favour of "CEP IIT
Bhubaneswar" payable at Bhubaneswar.

One Week Short-Term Course on

Design and Performance of Pavements (DaPoP)

Sf)aMored by Ministry of Human 8esource Development (MHRD), Government of India, New Delhi,
Under the,progra_m 'Global Initiative of Academic Networks' (GIAN)

,,; 19th -23rc1 June 2017

Course overview:
Pavements are expected to perform satisfactorily with smooth riding surface under varying traffic, soil and
environmental conditions. In the majority of the current design and evaluation procedures for flexible pavements,
linear elastic analysis is used to evaluate stresses and strains induced by traffic loadings in the structure. However,
the analysis based on these assumptions may not provide accurate qualitative and quantitative description of the
pavements mechanical behaviour. Therefore with availability of better computing facility, it is rational to consider
material nonlinearity in the structural analysis of the pavements.

The dynamic effect of vehicle-road interaction on the exerted loads on pavements is another important factor that
has often been neglected in most of the state-of-practice design procedures. These effects are hardly negligible,
especially with the increase of traffic weight and density in recent years. Also, rapidly increasing traffic and
depleting natural resources have pushed the researchers to design long life pavements, which may be designed and
built to last longer than 50 years without requiring major structural rehabilitation.

Pavement performance evaluation and monitoring is very essential in developing a rational pavement design
criteria. Therefore field evaluation of structural strength of pavements using various non-destructive techniques,
functional performance evaluation and performance monitoring through accelerated load testing facility needs to be
brought to the knowledge of the professions in this area is very important.

This course has been designed to understand the pavement structure and its performance under dynamic vehicular
loading under prevailing environme_ntal conditions. This is a specialized course, which can be taken by higher level
undergraduate students, post graduate students and research scholars working in this area of transportation
engineering. Also practicing civil engineers would find this course very helpful. Internationally acclaimed
academic professional will deliver lectures in the course and discuss the design concepts followed worldwide. The
course will be planned and offered as per the norms set by IIT Bhubaneswar.

CQqqe~nts;

• Pavement Design Philosophy (including pavement balance concept)

• Vehicle Pavement Interaction and Traffic Loading
• Mechanistic-Empirical Design of Pavements
• Pavement Material Characterization
• Performance of Pavements with Cemented bases and Sub bases
• Design of Long Life Composite Pavements
• Climate Change, Energy, Sustainability and Pavements
• Performance Evaluation through Accelerated Load Testing Facility
• Pavement Performance Monitoring, Modeling, and Management
