    Best Practices in the Design and Construction of Rigid Pavement

    15-09-2025 To 19-09-2025
    Dubai
    civil eng and construction

    Rigid pavements, primarily composed of Portland cement concrete, offer long service life and high load-bearing capacity when designed and constructed correctly. This course covers best practices in the planning, design, material selection, construction methods, quality control, and maintenance of rigid pavements. It includes key technical considerations such as load transfer, joint detailing, subgrade preparation, and performance evaluation based on current industry standards and innovations.
