CELE Transportation & Highway EngineeringPavement Design (Flexible and Rigid)Slides

Visual slide deck for Pavement Design (Flexible and Rigid). Perfect for reviewers who prefer seeing concepts laid out with diagrams and bullet points rather than long paragraphs. Built specifically for CELE Transportation & Highway Engineering aspirants preparing for the 2026 cycle.

Exam context

For the Civil Engineer Licensure Examination, Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) — Board of Civil Engineering tests Transportation & Highway Engineering under a "Core" label, with Pavement Design (Flexible and Rigid) in the 3rd slot across 4 chapters. CELE candidates must clear the 70% weighted average, no sub-test below 50% cut on the 2026 paper, which draws about a meaningful share of Transportation & Highway Engineering questions. Date to watch: May and November 2026.
