Description

This comprehensive one-day course focuses on the principles and practices of pavement design for both new construction and rehabilitation of existing roadways. Emphasizing traffic loading, material selection, and characterization, design methods. The course equips participants with the knowledge to design durable pavements optimized for performance and lifecycle costs. Case studies and design exercises support practical application. The primary focus of this training will be on flexible pavements based on the AASHTO 93 method; other methods will also be mentioned. A short explanation about rigid pavements will be provided.

Objective

Participants will gain a solid understanding of fundamental pavement design concepts, including traffic and load characterization, subgrade evaluation, material properties, and structural design based on AASHTO 93 and other methods for flexible pavements. The course covers design approaches for new pavements and effective strategies for assessing and upgrading existing roads to extend service life and improve safety.

Target Audience

Civil, transportation, and geotechnical engineers
Pavement design professionals and consultants
Municipal and provincial road engineers and asset managers
Contractors and construction supervisors
Graduate students and technical staff in infrastructure sectors

Level of Course

Intermediate to advanced (suitable for practicing engineers with basic knowledge of pavements and for technical staff seeking design expertise)

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to

Understand key concepts of pavement structural design and material behavior
Evaluate traffic load effects and material selection and characterization impacts on pavement performance
AASHTO93 pavement design method and other methods
Assess existing pavements using condition data and non-destructive testing methods
Design of pavement rehabilitation strategies.

Dr.Hamid Soleymani

Dr. Hamid R. Soleymani holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Civil and Transportation Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology and a Ph.D. in Pavement and Materials Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. He began his career as a postdoctoral research associate at the North Central Superpave Center at Purdue University (USA) and later served as a faculty member at the University of Alberta, teaching civil engineering materials, transportation, and pavement management systems while conducting research in highways and transportation. From 2006 to 2010, he worked with EBA Engineering Consultants as a senior pavements and materials engineer, completing numerous projects and research studies for Alberta Transportation and other agencies. He also served as Director of the Transportation Research Centre (2010–2013) and has held senior engineering roles with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and the City of Edmonton. With over 25 years of academic, consulting, and public-sector experience, Dr. Soleymani has delivered more than 20 professional training sessions for engineers and technologists across Canada. A registered professional engineer, he has published over 80 papers and has been recognized for technical excellence and innovation. His expertise spans asphalt and Portland cement concrete, Superpave mix design, pavement design, maintenance and rehabilitation, materials characterization, mechanistic pavement design, pavement performance evaluation, and pavement management systems, making him highly qualified to provide practical, high-quality training in pavement engineering and materials.
