A comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to pavement design andmaterials
With innovations ranging from the advent ofSuperpave(TM), the data generated by the Long TermPavement Performance (LTPP) project, to the recent release of theMechanistic-Empirical pavement design guide developed underNCHRP Study 1-37A, the field of pavement engineering isexperiencing significant development. Pavement Design andMaterials is a practical reference for both students andpracticing engineers that explores all the aspects of pavementengineering, including materials, analysis, design, evaluation, andeconomic analysis.
Historically, numerous techniques have been applied by amultitude of jurisdictions dealing with roadway pavements. Thisbook focuses on the best-established, currently applicabletechniques available.
Pavement Design and Materials offers complete coverageof:
* The characterization of traffic input
* The characterization of pavement bases/subgrades andaggregates
* 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 forimplementing various analytical techniques described in thesechapters. These tools are easily accessible through thebook's companion Web site, which is constantly updated toensure that the reader finds the most up-to-date softwareavailable.
