MABY5030 Advanced Road Engineering Course description

This course will cover two important aspects of flexible pavements. The first part is mainly concerned with theories and procedures for determining fundamental properties of asphalt materials for material evaluation and pavement design, with topics like mechanistic flexible pavement design, advanced material characterization, deterioration mechanisms and performance prediction.

The second part covers pavement management and rehabilitation. Topics include: network and project level management, pavement distress surveys, non-destructive testing for condition measurements, maintenance and rehabilitation strategies and life cycle cost considerations.

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements. But it is recommended that the candidate has taken the following OsloMet undergraduate courses or equivalent:

• BYVEXXXX Vei- og jernbaneteknikk
• BYVEXXXX Geoteknikk
• BYVEXXXX Teknisk Infratruktur
• BYVEXXXX Samferdsel

Upon completing the course, the student should have the following outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence.;;

Knowledge:;

Upon successfully completion of the course, the student has gained knowledge to:;;

• understand principles of construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of flexible pavements
• explain failure modes/mechanisms in flexible pavements
• describe the characterization and mechanical properties of asphalt binder, agregates and asphalt mixtures
• understand Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Cost of pavements

Skills:;

Upon successfully completion of the course, the student can:;;

• apply advanced theoretical and integrated practical knowledge in pavement design and analysis for flexible pavements
• use the basics of Mechanistic-Empirical pavement design
• perform mechanistic based analyses of pavement structures.
• gain insight and understanding of asphalt material properties, how they are affected by the environment, and ultimately how they influence the pavement's structural capacity
• assess key performance indicators for various pavements and determine maintenance and rehabilitation options.
• apply management techniques to improve the life-cycle and reduce the cost of pavements
• use condition and risk based maintenance and rehabilitation methods to extend the useful life of pavements
• integrate the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement and second hand material in flexible pavements

General competence:;

Upon successfully completion of the course, the student is able to:;;

• critically evaluate the connection between performance specifications and transportation asset management
• reflect on and synthesise complex concepts and theories in the use of Life Cycle Cost Analysis to evaluate pavement design options and in the application of Pavement Management System to plan maintenance actions
• perform sustainable material choices for different pavement layers/elements

Ingen ut over opptakskrav.

Etter gjennomført emne har studenten følgende kunnskaper og ferdigheter:

Kunnskap

Studenten har

• inngående kunnskap om nyere teori og praksis og hvordan disse påvirker fagområdet mote
• kunnskap om drakthistoriske endringer sett i et kulturhistorisk perspektiv
• kunnskap om produksjonssystemer og andre bransjemekanismer som påvirker motebransjen

Ferdigheter

Studenten kan

• analysere motebransjens kompleksitet i lys av ulike teoretiske og praktiske tilnærming
• sammenholde teoretisk kompetanse og praktiske erfaringer fra fagfeltet
• kan anvende kunnskap på nye områder og gjennomføre avanserte arbeidsoppgaver og prosjekter
• kan reflektere over etiske- og miljømessige problemstillinger innen design og produksjon av klær
• utpeke relevante problemstillinger på motefeltet og sette dem i et samfunnsperspektiv

Undervisningen veksler mellom forelesninger, seminarer og workshops der dialog og refleksjon knyttet til teori og praksis står sentralt. All undervisning, oppgaver og seminarer er obligatorisk. I andre semester blir det individuell veiledning knyttet til eksamen/prosjektbeskrivelsen.

Arbeidskrav

Følgende arbeidskrav er obligatorisk og må være godkjent for å fremstille seg til eksamen:

• 80 prosent tilstedeværelse på undervisning og seminarer.
• En individuell, skriftlig oppgave hvor mote- og klesbransjens ulike roller og funksjon i samfunnet blir belyst, 10-15 sider.
• Presentasjon for medstudenter og lærere i FoU-seminar.

Individuell skriftlig hjemmeeksamen over to uker. 10-15 sider.

To interne sensorer. Ekstern sensor brukes jevnlig.

Hjelpemidler ved eksamen

Alle.

Vurderingsuttrykk

I forbindelse med avsluttende vurdering benyttes en karakterskala fra A til E for bestått (A er høyeste karakter og E er laveste) og F for ikke bestått.
