Firm and pavement course in airports

The dynamic environment of the construction of airport infrastructure requires a robust understanding of firm and pavements. This course offers essential keys to paving engineering, weaving knowledge from the foundations of firm and esplanades to bituminous mixtures and concrete applications. Materials, designs and practices that integrate efficiency and sustainability will be explored, immersing themselves in emerging advances and technologies. Oriented towards effective management and quality, we prepare the participant to face current challenges, optimize airport operation and emphasize environmental conservation. This course is erected as a balanced way of advancing in this field, without the promise of abrupt specialization, but with the value of nourishing the knowledge base with updated and relevant perspectives in civil engineering applied to airports.

The objective of the course is to give the student a series of basic knowledge about firm and pavements, as a specialty within civil engineering applied to airport infrastructure. It will begin in the first module with the definition of the concept of firm and pavement, linked to the esplanade, reviewing the different existing typologies, both firm, layers and materials that compose them. Information will also be given about the influence of the state of conservation in the environment and on the so -called management systems that allow a more efficient administration of the firm. In the second module it will be deepened in the different base materials that make up the firm, giving a general description of them, as well as their properties, tests and applications. The third module will focus on bituminous mixtures as material that is part of the flexible, semi -flexible and semi -rigid firm. Its main characteristics, essays, manufacturing and commissioning methods, main final product properties and the most traditional typologies will be described. The application of concrete will also be discussed. The last module will focus on the brief description of cold bituminous mixtures, of some of the most innovative technologies or techniques or that are more in development in recent years in the pavement sector, some airport firm calculation tools will be described, and they will talk about firm quality control.

With the course "Firm and pavements in airports: basic concepts", you can access jobs in the airport construction sector. Dominate from the introduction to firm, materials, to bituminous mixtures and concrete. You will be trained for roles in quality design and control, opening doors in airport construction and maintenance companies, as well as public entities responsible for airport infrastructure. Your technical expertise will be key in size projects.

The course "Firm and pavements in airports: basic concepts" provides understanding of airport infrastructure engineering. It will address from the essential concepts of firm and pavements, including the various typologies and materials, to management systems and their relationship with the environment. Deepen base materials, properties and tests, highlighting its application in bituminous mixtures and concrete. It concludes by examining innovative techniques, firm calculation tools and quality control procedures.

This program is aimed at professionals related to civil engineering and related areas that seek to strengthen their knowledge in firm and pavements for airports. Throughout the course, they will be studied from the foundations and materials that make up firm and pavements, covering bituminous mixtures and concrete, to airport design and quality control practices, contemplating the relevance of conservation and its environmental impact.
