UC Berkeley's Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) and the City & County Pavement Improvement Center (CCPIC) are introducing a new self-paced 9-hour course on Unpaved Road Engineering, Construction & Management.

This course aims to introduce performance-related thinking to unpaved road management so that practitioners can predict likely performance of their roads using very simple procedures. These design procedures allow practitioners to evaluate various unpaved road design, maintenance, and management options, including material blending and chemical treatments, and the implications of implementing them, and then to choose options that suit their particular needs and resources. The performance-based approach allows practitioners to predict likely performance on which they can base their decisions.

Topics:

• Intro & Background to Unpaved Roads, Road Investigation
• Unpaved Road Design, Construction, Maintenance, & Management

Instructor:

• David Jones, PhD, Associate Director, UCPRC, UC Davis
  
  

This course is designed for practitioners who manage unpaved road networks and wish to have a better understanding of the fundamentals so that they can make informed decisions about design, construction, maintenance, and management.
