Pavement Design and Materials

Practical guide for all aspects of pavement engineering, updated with the latest techniques, standards, and software

The newly revised and updated Second Edition of Pavement Design and Materials offers a comprehensive treatment of pavement materials, structural analysis, design, evaluation, and economic analysis of asphalt and portland concrete pavements.

Written by two highly qualified engineering professors with a wealth of experience in the field, Pavement Design and Materials provides readers with:

• State-of-the-art techniques for material characterization, including a linear viscoelasticity primer
• Methods and software for the analysis of flexible and ridgid pavements including the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design
• State-of-the-art pavement evaluation techniques including moduli backcalculation methods
• Pavement economic analysis techniques including the most up-to-date user cost relationships.

The book companion website provides:

• Solved examples in each chapter and the electronic files associated with them
• An instructor solutions manual for the problems provided at the end of each chapter
• PowerPoint presentations by chapter to facilitate lecture delivery

Pavement Design and Materials is an essential up-to-date textbook on the subject for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level courses on pavement materials and pavement design. It is also a valuable reference for practicing professional engineers involved in the various aspects of roadway pavement material selection and structural design.
