Delve into the innovation and advantages that the development of new materials brings to the area of civil construction"

There are many materials involved in the construction of a road, being one of the most important works of civil engineering. This course will cover all the steps involved in the execution of this type of construction, as well as the most commonly used materials, such as paving, among which the characteristics and properties they provide will be highlighted.  

Continuing with the agenda, we will start with the layers under the surface layer, which is the only one that is visible when a road is laid. Later on, the student will be able to expand their knowledge of the drainage of water under the esplanade, the different types of soil in the esplanade and the granular layers of base and subbase, either in their natural state or treated to improve their characteristics. In the surface layers module, binders and conglomerates, aggregates and surface treatments of layers will be analyzed; In addition, bituminous mixtures and concrete paving will be identified separately. 

Finally, the final topic will show the manufacture and installation of asphalt mixes, the most methodical because of their responsibility in the paving, and usually the most economical in the work. We will also delve into the maintenance works of a road once it has been built, with special emphasis on the surface characteristics of pavements, studying in detail parameters such as the  transverse friction coefficient (TFC) or the international regularity index (IRI). The latter are important to ensure the safety of road users, which is why those in charge of a construction site often examine them with care.
