Pavement Design: Materials, Analysis, and Highways

Master the principles, analysis, and design in pavement engineeringThis student-friendly textbook offers comprehensive coverage of pavement design and highways. Written by two seasoned civil engineering educators, the book contains precise explanations of traditional and computerized mechanistic design methods along with detailed examples of real-world pavement and highway projects. Pavement Design: Materials, Analysis, and Highways shows, step by step, how to apply the latest, software-based AASHTOWare Pavement Mechanistic-Empirical Design method. Each design topic is covered in separate, modular chapters, enabling you to tailor a course of study. Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) sample questions are also provided in each chapter. Coverage includes:Stress-strain in pavementSoils, aggregates, asphalt, and portland cement concreteTraffic analysis for pavement designDistresses and distress-prediction models in flexible and rigid pavementFlexible and rigid pavement design by AASHTO 1993 and AASHTOWareOverlay and drainage designSustainable and rehabilitation pavement design, pavement management, and recyclingGeometric design of highways
