A comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to pavement design and
materials
With innovations ranging from the advent of
Superpave(TM), the data generated by the Long Term
Pavement Performance (LTPP) project, to the recent release of the
Mechanistic-Empirical pavement design guide developed under
NCHRP Study 1-37A, the field of pavement engineering is
experiencing significant development. Pavement Design and
Materials is a practical reference for both students and
practicing engineers that explores all the aspects of pavement
engineering, including materials, analysis, design, evaluation, and
economic analysis.
Historically, numerous techniques have been applied by a
multitude of jurisdictions dealing with roadway pavements. This
book focuses on the best-established, currently applicable
techniques available.
Pavement Design and Materials offers complete coverage
of:
* The characterization of traffic input
* The characterization of pavement bases/subgrades and
aggregates
* Asphalt binder and asphalt concrete characterization
* Portland cement and concrete characterization
* Analysis of flexible and rigid pavements
* Pavement evaluation
* Environmental effects on pavements
* The design of flexible and rigid pavements
* Pavement rehabilitation
* Economic analysis of alternative pavement designs
The coverage is accompanied by suggestions for software for
implementing various analytical techniques described in these
chapters. These tools are easily accessible through the
book’s companion Web site, which is constantly updated to
ensure that the reader finds the most up-to-date software
available.
