Description:
A comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to pavement design and
materials


With innovations ranging from the advent of
Superpave?, 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, whic
