Training: ‘Structural design of rigid pavements, monitoring and control of new construction and maintenance work’.

Training for 6 executives from AGEROUTE in Côte d'Ivoire on the structural dimensioning of rigid pavements, monitoring and control of the execution of new and maintenance works.

Practical teaching approach alternating theoretical contributions and practical exercises.

The training programme is structured around the following points:

• General overview of pavements, the different types of pavement structure. Advantages and disadvantages - how they compare.
• Focus on rigid pavements. Why choose a rigid pavement? The main uses of rigid pavements.
• Presentation of design guides and guides specific to rigid pavements (Setra/LCPC, PIARC, SPECBA, etc.)
• Reminders on materials (aggregates, binders, additives, etc.)
• Formulation studies (BCR, cement concrete, BCMC, etc.)
• Manufacture
• Drawing up specifications Concrete constituents and characteristics, manufacturing control
• Sizing of rigid pavements.
• Assumptions
• Calculation of the CAM
• Specificities of bus lanes, BRT, etc.
• Specific features of pavements with heavy loads (ports, industries, etc.)
• Examples and practical application by trainees (BCR, BC, BCg, BAC pavements, etc.)
• Constructive measures: curing layer, joints, etc.
• Laying concrete
• Drawing up specifications for laying and checking
• Rigid pavement testing
• Drawing up testing specifications
• Maintenance and reinforcement
• Analysis of testing results
• Modelling and practical application by participants
• Calculating reinforcement and practical application by participants
• ‘Routine’ maintenance
