CE5403 Pavement Management Systems
SYLLABUS
Principles of pavement management including inventory, condition assessment, needs
determination and budget analysis. Emphasis will be on field-condition assessment techniques.
Use of database design will be presented to illustrate data handling techniques. Class work will
be supplemented with computer laboratory experiences using an integrated relational database as
well as several public domain software packages.
Prerequisites – Matrix analysis, basic linear algebra, engineering economics..
Textbook – Pavement Management for Airports, Roads and Parking Lots-Second Edition by
M.Y. Shahin and Road Surface Management for Local Governments by Federal Highway
Administration, Washington DC, 1985.
