Pavement design theory During the last decade, the climate change and perpetually growing heavy transport volume resulted in rapid deterioration of Lithuanian roads. Foreign countries experience shows that it can be avoided if both the pavement is appropriate designed and the proper materials are selected. The growing industry and technology advance provide the market with the innovative materials, which have better characteristics than typical road materials. In Lithuania, the materials selection often becomes an issue, because the climate requires different solutions (e.g. resistance to rutting during summer and resistance to thermal cracking during winter). Thus, the engineer, who selects the materials, has to be familiar with innovative materials usage, production, modification, composition and etc. Besides the existing pavement condition has to be assessed during the pavement design process. The advanced technology and equipment provide the opportunity to conduct it at the lowest resources and decision matrix and prioritization guarantee the most optimal rehabilitation selection. This knowledge about pavement design is vital for high qualified engineers, because their decisions condition the quality of future Lithuanian infrastructure. Information about lectures: 40 hours course “Pavement design theory“ Target audience – I, II and III study cycle students of Road and Transport engineering Lectures – fundamental theory, concepts, knowledge Consultations –information exchange and discussion Schedule of the lectures

Dr James Shippen
Principal Lecturer in the Centre for Mobility and Transport Research at Coventry University UK
Dr James Shippen is a Principal Lecturer in the Centre for Mobility and Transport Research at Coventry University UK. His first degree is in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Leeds, UK and his PhD is from the University of Birmingham, UK in Mechanical Engineering on the subject of coupled acoustic-structural finite element analysis. At the University of Birmingham he was the Director of Biomedical Engineering, followed by a period as the technical director of a biomechanical analysis commercial organisation. At Coventry University he has initiated three Masters Courses and written the BoB musculoskeletal package.
Computational biomechanics Mechanical engineering students will be familiar with using the theories of Newton, Lagrange and Laplace to calculate the motion of engineering components and systems however, these techniques are equally applicable to the mechanism of the human body. This course will apply conventional engineering analysis to a complex mechanical linkage, which happens to be a person. This approach will enable the student to look inside the body to establish the load in the skeleton, joints and muscles generated during a range of everyday tasks from standing still through gait to sporting activities and beyond. The course will be a combination of theoretical information conveyed in a series of lectures, practical experiments performed by the students under the supervision of the lecturer and presentations by the students to the lecturers from which the student will receive feedback. Throughout the course, the students will use the Biomechanics of Bodies (BoB) software, which can undertake kinematic, kinetic inverse dynamic analysis of human motion. They will also capture their own motion using a magneto-inertial system and analyse the movement in BoB to calculate biomechanical variables associated with their motion, for example, joint contact forces, joint torque, muscle lengths, ground reaction forces. The learning outcomes of the course will be for the students to appreciate and be able to apply the capabilities of computational biomechanics to calculate biomechanical characteristics of human motion. They will also be able to measure human motion and use this data as an input for a biomechanical analysis. Schedule:

Dr. Kai-Uwe Schmitt
Professor of Zurich University and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
PD Dr. Kai-Uwe Schmitt is an academic staff member in the Department of Health Science and Technology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and a member of the executive board at AGU Zurich (Working Group on Accident Mechanics). Trauma biomechanics in traffic and sports is the focus of his research and teaching activities. Additional functions include being a council member and secretary of the International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI) and a member of the advisory board on traffic safety at the Swiss Federal Road Office.
Trauma biomechanics
According to the statistics in Lithuania, the number of registered traffic accidents decreased almost 6.5 times (9.8 in 1980 and 1.5 in 2013), however the number of the injured remained almost the same – for 100 thousand people - 137.6 injured in 1980 and 134.6 in 2013 (www.lakd.lt). Injuries related to traffic accidents can be of different character – from mild to severe, or even resulting in permanent disability. Active person can sustain injuries during sport activities or at work. Trauma biomechanics is an important scientific field to explore biomechanics of various injuries, i.e. trauma mechanisms and causes. This knowledge is important for design of safe transportation means, developing and designing safe training equipment and rehabilitation devices, assistive technologies for the disabled. Research in trauma biomechanics requires broad knowledge and understanding in biomechanics, mechanics and application of different technologies (computer simulation and experiments). Students will understand importance of various technologies and approaches, will obtain better understanding of general biomechanics principles and their application.

Dr Lev Khazanovich is a professor of Civil engineering department of Minnesota university. He specializes in a rigid pavements design, performance prediction models, pavement condition assessment, non-destructive testing, finite element modelling in road pavements and etc. On the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) project Development of the 2002 Mechanistic-Empirical Design Guide he served as a member of Rigid pavement leadership team responsible for finite element modelling of rigid pavements and overlays, development of neural networks to predict critical structural responses, subgrade characterization procedures, and development of faulting prediction. Prof. Lev Khazanovich has got 7 awards, which confirm his competence and the importance of the implemented researches. Two his students (Adam Zofka and Kyle Hoegh) theses were declared as the best research work. Even four his graduate students (Adam Zofka, Kyle Hoegh, Priyam Saxena ir Dann Franta) received awards for significant input to science. Prof. Lev Khazanovich is an active member of international professional organizations (such as Transport Research Board (TRB), International Society for Concrete Pavements (ISCP), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and etc.). He is also a member of review panels for external funding agencies, the organizer of conferences, workshops, panels and symposia and a reviewer for 16 high quality scientific journals (such as Journal of Engineering Mechanics, International Journal of Road Materials and Pavement Design and etc). He and co-authors have published more than 120 papers and was invited to present more than 40 presentations at professional meetings, conferences, universities, industries ant etc.
Pavement design theory
In Lithuania pavement structure is selected according to “Design rules for road standardized pavement structures”, announced on 21 January 2008. During the last eight years the heavy transport volume significantly increased in Lithuania, innovative materials appeared in the world market, the design methods were advanced, etc. However, the design rules have not been updated. It results in the inappropriate pavement selection (pavement structure has too little or too high bearing capacity), which leads to the waste of budget. The world experience shows that the Mechanistic-Empirical design, which involves the effect of materials and climate on pavement performance, gives the highest economic benefit. Distress prediction equations give an opportunity to predict rut depth, fatigue cracking, transverse cracking, smoothness and other pavement performance indicators. The adaptation of these equations to Lithuanian climate conditions is vital in order to update the design rules on the basis of the Mechanistic-Empirical design. Every student, willing to become a high qualified engineer, has to be familiar with this design method. The aim of the lectures is to share the USA experience in the Mechanistic-Empirical design method for rigid and flexible pavements, the prediction of pavement performance indicators and the usage of the software.

Trauma biomechanics
According to the statistics in Lithuania, the number of registered traffic accidents decreased almost 6.5 times (9.8 in 1980 and 1.5 in 2013), however the number of the injured remained almost the same – for 100 thousand people - 137.6 injured in 1980 and 134.6 in 2013 (www.lakd.lt). Injuries related to traffic accidents can be of different character – from mild to severe, or even resulting in permanent disability. Active person can sustain injuries during sport activities or at work. Trauma biomechanics is an important scientific field to explore biomechanics of various injuries, i.e. trauma mechanisms and causes. This knowledge is important for design of safe transportation means, developing and designing safe training equipment and rehabilitation devices, assistive technologies for the disabled. Research in trauma biomechanics requires broad knowledge and understanding in biomechanics, mechanics and application of different technologies (computer simulation and experiments). Students will understand importance of various technologies and approaches, will obtain better understanding of general biomechanics principles and their application.
