Courses and Seminars

CIRCLY, APSDS and HIPAVE Workshops - 2012

The Centre for Pavement Engineering Education (CPEE) will be presenting the following Short Courses/Workshops this year:

Mechanistic Pavement Design - CIRCLY 

This one day course provides delegates with an understanding of the theoretical basis of mechanistic pavement design methods and is a hands-on course with each student having access to a PC.  The course is offered as a single day for those who are well versed and practiced in pavement design, or who have completed any of the past CPEE two day Pavement Design courses, or for those who are attending the current Pavement Design – Principles & Practice 2 day course in 2012. Alternatively, limited places are available for Delegates to Register to undertake it as day 2 of the CPEE course Pavement Design- Advanced, provided they are well versed and practiced in pavement design, or have completed any of the CPEE two day Pavement Design courses.

The course provides an introduction to flexible pavement design models using CIRCLY 5.0 focusing on the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology - Part 2: Pavement Structural Design (AGPT02/10).
The workshop will also include an introduction to heavy duty pavement design for container terminals and airports.

Heavy Duty Pavement Design Workshop (HIPAVE / APSDS)  <<< to be scheduled for 2012 - Register your details below >>>

This one day course focuses on computer aided design of heavy duty flexible pavements using HIPAVE and APSDS (Airport Pavement Structural Design System).
The emphasis is on pavements subjected to the extremely heavy wheel loads associated with airports and freight handling vehicles in industrial facilities, such as intermodal container terminals.
This is a hands-on workshop with each student having their own PC.

Pavement Design - Advanced

This intensive two day short course, which incorporates the Mechanistic Pavement Design – CIRCLY course (the second day), is ideal for engineers and engineering technologists working for federal, state, or local authorities, consultants and contractors who already have a sound awareness and understanding of the basic principles & practices of pavement design.

This 2 day course provides participants with knowledge of the principles of flexible pavement design, as per the current Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology - Part 2: Pavement Structural Design (AGPT02/10).

These courses are recognized by Engineers Australia for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes.

Note: The CIRCLY and Heavy Duty Pavement Design Workshops are "hands-on" experiences with each student having their own PC - so 16 places only.

Additional Pavement related short courses are offered through The Australian Asphalt Pavement Association's (AAPA) Training Centre. A full list of the courses on offer can be found on the AAPA website.
