PBW 401 - Highway and Airport Engineering
Semester:
Fall Course Information
- The overall objective of this course is to introduce students to principles and concepts of highway geometric and structural design.
- Highway system (driver, vehicle, and road) and the interaction between them as related to design (geometrically and structurally).
- Highway location, design standards, horizontal and vertical alignments, and cross-section elements are covered in geometric design.
- Highway materials, loading systems, pavement stresses, and pavement thickness design methods are covered in structural pavement design.
Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)
- Highway system classification

- Highway geometric design (Horizontal and vertical alignments and cross-section elements)
- Intersection Design and Grade Separation
- Soil classification and highway materials
- Asphalt mix design concepts and methods
- Stress-Strain analysis in pavement systems.
