JUSTIFICATION:
The road surface provides the surface that allows the movement of vehicles with comfort, safety and economy. His study will be essential to ensure that these characteristics are maintained during the time for which the road is projected. In order to achieve this, it is discussed in this course unit binders and mixtures used and the determination and evaluation of requests for design road pavements.
OBJECTIVES:
- Knowledge: Know the materials used in the field road and applicable law. Knowing how to design road pavements.
- Understanding: Interpreting, manipulate the elements needed in the field of road pavements.
- Application: Design road pavements.
- Summary: Propose new technical and economic solutions.
SKILLS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- Have knowledge and understanding to a level that will form the basis for and development and / or original applications, in many cases in the context of research;
- Know how to apply their knowledge and comprehension as well as problem solving in new situations and unfamiliar, in broad contexts and multidisciplinary;
- Ability to integrate knowledge, handle complex issues, develop solutions and make judgments in situations of limited or incomplete information, including reflections on implications and ethical and social responsibilities that result or condition of these solutions and these judgments;
- Be able to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and reasoning behind them, whether experts or to non-specialists, in a clear and unambiguous;
- Allow a life-long learning in an essentially self-directed or autonomous.
