Pavement Engineering

AM3P reflects on the increasing international emphasis on the design and construction of sustainable pavement systems development highlighting various approaches to predict pavement performance...

Asphalt mixture specification is a black art. This guide to specification emphasises test methods to measure performance, their pros and cons, and properties to be tested for material use. Different properties are discussed in terms of: specification; test methods (primarily those in EN 12697); perf..

Incorporating the latest technology, this book is the first to focus primarily on the design, production and maintenance of low-volume roads and parking areas...

Reflecting recent advances in highway materials technology and pavement engineering and showing research and practical experiences of scientists and engineers from 32 different countries, this book is of interest to engineers and academics in Pavement Engineering, Infrastructure Technology, Highway ..

This practical design guide guides the reader through the principles of concrete pavement design, especially highway and infrastructure projects, illustrating practice and theory with worked examples to UK, European and US standards and codes, with calculations and with case studies relevant across ..

This book addresses the design, construction, and performance of concrete pavements. It sets out best practices for the construction of economical, long-life concrete pavement by engineers in the public and private sectors. It also outlines first alternatives for concrete pavement solutions, and ide..

Covers geotechnical aspects related to foundation layers of pavements and rail tracks from a mechanistic viewpoint; earth structures in pavement and railway construction, including the advocated use of processed materials and continuous compaction control; and strengthening and reinforcement of pave..

Designed to be teamed up with "Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering", this book covers road location and plans, roadwork materials, surface and subsurface moisture control, pavement design and construction, thickness design of bituminous and concrete pavements, and road maintenance and rehabil..

This book covers the engineering design of low-volume roads and their construction and maintenance. It is a single reference drawing from the dispersed literature. It lays out the basic principles of each topic, from road location and geometric design, pavement design, slope stability and erosion co..

An increasing number of agencies, academic institutes, and governmental and industrial bodies are embracing the principles of sustainability in managing their activities and conducting business. As a sustainability quantitative measurement tool, life-cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly used in Eu..

Roadwork Theory and Practice gives the essential information needed by every road worker, highway technician, incorporated, graduate or chartered engineer, not only by explaining the theory of road construction and its associated activities, but by illustrating its application with practical working..
