Course Description:
Pavements preservation is a program employing a network level, long-term strategy that enhances pavement performance by using an integrated, cost-effective set of practices that extend pavement life, improves safety and meet motorist expectations (FHWA).
Pavement preservation includes routine maintenance, preventive maintenance, and minor rehabilitation. The key concept in a successful pavement preservation program is to apply the right treatment, to the right pavement, in a right time. Although this concept looks straightforward, its implementation is a complicated engineering question.
This course provides detailed information to assist pavement engineers in developing the most reliable and cost-effective maintenance and rehabilitation alternatives for existing flexible pavements. It addresses the problem of maintenance and rehabilitation in a logical sequence: existing pavement structure evaluation and condition assessment, distress mechanisms, assignment of feasible strategies and alternatives, selection of preferred alternatives. Example of a typical pavement preservation project including: data collection, field work, developing strategies and alternates, and life cycle cost analysis will be reviewed.
A background in pavement design is recommended.

Objective:
The main objective of this course is to provide participants with a thorough understanding of important factors in flexible pavement maintenance and rehabilitation. The focus will be on best practices of pavement preservation used by Canadian highway agencies.
Target Audience:
The course has been designed for pavement owners/users, consulting engineers, contractors and engineering technologists. A basic background of pavement engineering is required. This course is an excellent opportunity for those wishing to develop their knowledge on pavement preservation.
|
Upon completion of the workshop participant will be able to:
- To recognize the main concept in pavement preservation: right time, right treatment, right time.
- To learn methodologies in pavement evaluation for preservation; structural and functional evaluation
- To identify flexible pavement distress types and their extents and severities
- Become familiar with procedures for project field surveys, including coring, lab testing, and non-destructive deflection testing
- To understand how to link pavement design considerations with the processes for pavement preservation
- To learn important factors in the design and selection of various pavement preservation methods, routine maintenance, major maintenance, surface treatments, overlay, various recycling methods, and reconstruction
- To learn Life Cycle Cost Analysis for comparing viable treatments
- Long-term monitoring, research, and future trends in pavement preservation

Instructor
Hamid R. Soleymani, Ph.D., P.Eng.
Hamid R. Soleymani has a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Civil Engineering and Transportation Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology and a Ph.D. from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. After graduating, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the North Central Superpave Center at Purdue University (USA) for three years. Dr. Soleymani was a faculty member at the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta from 2000 to 2006 and as the Director of Transportation Research Centre since 2010-2013. He taught civil engineering materials, transportation, and pavement management systems at the graduate and undergraduate levels for several years and conducted several research studies in highways and transportation areas.
He worked with EBA Engineering Consultants as a senior pavements and materials engineer from 2006 to 2010. During this time, he completed many pavement preservation and materials projects and also conducted numerous research studies for Alberta Transportation and other highway agencies. Recently he joined the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure as a senior Pavements and Materials Engineer.
Dr. Soleymani has over 15 years of academic and industrial experience in the areas of pavement management, design and materials and is a registered professional engineer. He has published more than 30 papers in technical journals and conferences. His expertise and research interest areas include: asphalt and Portland cement concrete; Superpave mix design; pavement design, maintenance and rehabilitation; materials characterization and modeling; pavement performance evaluation; mechanistic pavement design; and pavement management systems.
