Types and specifics of pavement structures. Mechanics of pavement construction - pavement designs, basic physical-mechanical characteristics and fatigue of materials, definition of fracture. Input data - traffic load, subgrade, layers of pavement structure - materials. Dimensioning based on empirical methods and models based on pavement mechanics. Application in different types of pavement: flexible, semi-rigid and rigid. The influence of climate and other factors. Modern methods of assessing the condition of the pavement, indicators of pavement construction. Designing the reinforcement of existing pavements. Reinforcing of pavement. Types of asphalt mixtures. Use of alternative materials in the design and construction of pavement structures. Recycling of materials of flexible pavement structures (processes of hot and cold recycling of asphalt mixtures). The concept of permanent pavement - 'Perpetual pavements'. Principles of modern maintenance of pavement structures.
