For one/two-semester, undergraduate/graduate courses in Pavement Design. This up-to-date text covers both theoretical and practical aspects of pavement analysis and design. It includes some of the latest developments in the field, and some very useful computer software-developed by the author-with detailed instructions.
Pavement Design And Paving Material Selection are important for efficient, cost effective, durable, and safe transportation infrastructure Paving Materials and Pavement Analysis contains 73 papers examining bound and unbound material characterization, modeling, and performance of highway and airfield pavements. The papers in this publication were presented during the GeoShanghal 2010 International Conference held in Shanghai, China, June 3-5, 2010.
Analysis of Pavement Structures brings together current research and existing knowledge on the analysis and design of pavements and introduces load and thermal stress analyses of asphalt and concrete pavement structures in a simple and step-by-step manner. For the second edition of this book, a new chapter on numerical implementation (using FEM) of pavement analysis is added along with topics such as mechanical modeling of granular materials, applications of convolution theorems in visco-elasticity, visco-elastic Poisson’s ratio, concepts of fracture mechanics in relation to fatigue of asphalt mix, solution of semi-infinite and so forth. New solved examples and schematic diagrams are also added. Features: Presents a simple, step-by-step approach for pavement analysis including systematic compilation of research work in the area Discusses further elaborations in terms of extended analytical formulations on some selected topics Includes new chapter on finite element analysis for pavement structures Contains more solved examples to understand the concepts better Explores primary application of pavement analysis in pavement thickness design This book is aimed at graduate students, structural mechanics researchers, and senior undergraduate students in civil/pavement/highway/transport engineering.
Master the principles, analysis, and design in pavement engineering This 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 pavement Soils, aggregates, asphalt, and portland cement concrete Traffic analysis for pavement design Distresses and distress-prediction models in flexible and rigid pavement Flexible and rigid pavement design by AASHTO 1993 and AASHTOWare Overlay and drainage design Sustainable and rehabilitation pavement design, pavement management, and recycling Geometric design of highways
This book provides some simple methods for the analysis of pavements in order to describe their present condition and to predict their future condition. Functional and structural conditions of flexible and rigid highway and airfield pavements are treated.
A comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to pavement design and materials With innovations ranging from the advent of SuperpaveTM, 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, which is constantly updated to ensure that the reader finds the most up-to-date software available.
