CMAA’s DesignPave is a concrete segmental pavement design software developed in collaboration with the University of South Australia, to assist engineers and landscape architects on the structural design of concrete segmental pavements.
Since LockPave went out of circulation, Australia has not had a software specific to the design of concrete segmental pavements. With the introduction of DesignPave, it now does.

13:00 to 13:30 Introduction to workshop and overview of program
Introduction by Professor Simon Beecham, Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Division of Information Technology, Engineering, and the Environment, at the University of South Australia (UniSA).
Simon will discuss how the CMAA and UniSA came about to develop the program, why it was needed, and a general overview of the workshop.
13.30 to 14:10 How the program was developed
Mizanur Rahman the lead developer of the program will explain how he and his team developed the program and the theory behind the program.
The different methodologies behind pavement thickness design will be detailed, along with the benefits of each method and when they should be used. The methods include:
• Miner’s rule
• Single equivalent wheel load method
• British port’s method
14:10 to 14:50 Overview of the program, its functions, and capabilities
A guide on where to download the program and a run-through of the software’s functions, along with the design approach to residential and industrial pavements.
Loading conditions, material specifications, and the layer system will dictate thickness calculations, so an understanding of these parameters is required for feasible designs.
14:50 to 15:20 Intermission
15:20 to 16:30 Worked examples
Step by step guide on how to use the program to design concrete segmental pavements, with examples based on real scenarios. The examples will include both residential and industrial pavements under various loading conditions.
16:30 to 17:00 Q&A
An opportunity to ask any questions relating to any of the topics discussed during the workshop.
Professor Simon Beecham• Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Division of Information Technology, Engineering, and the
Environment, at the University of South Australia (UniSA).
