DESCRIPTION:
The pavement design bible So what I can say about this book? It's simply the best. From very basic to advance pavement design, this book is full of theroetical concerns about the pavement design as well as empirical methods for special pavements. It also includes a software to simulate a road different layers behaviour when loads applied on top. Very useful and, in my opinion, a must-have for those en. Greg McNulty said Five Stars. Best book on Pavement design I have yet seen.. It is absolutely necessary for roads and railways engineering It is a very detailled text-book containing full description of the methods used. It distributes also the KENPAVE software which is the State-of-the-Art software for Pavements. It also cites and criticizes the Westergaard's solution as it has been reconsindered by Ioannides et al. It is absolutely necessary for the engineers occupying with science and practice.
. From the Publisher This text/software package explores the structural analysis and design of highway pavements -- focusing on the mechanistic-empirical design procedures rather than the purely empirical methods
Specific chapter topics include stresses and strains in flexible pavements, stresses and deflections in rigid pavements, traffic loading and volume, material characterization, drainage design, pavement performance, reliability, flexible pavement design, rigid pavement design, design of overlays, theory of viscoelasticity, theory of elastic layer systems, Superpave, pavement management systems, and an introduction to the 2002 Pavement Design Guide. It includes some of the latest developments in the field, and some very useful computer software—developed by the author—with detailed inst
