Principles of Pavement Engineering, Second Edition

Principles of Pavement Engineering, 2nd edition builds on the previous edition, expanding on the fundamental principles of pavement engineering, concentrating on an understanding of the behaviour of pavement materials and of the real meaning of tests carried out on those materials. It includes necessary updates, such as: warm-mix asphalt, as it is increasingly environmentally attractive
cold-mix asphalt
asphalt recycling
bridge deck surfacing
design against potholes
treatment of Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayers
surface treatments
pavement edge issues
and parking areas. This book also covers soils, granular materials and hydraulically-bound materials (including concrete), and will explain the various relevant engineering properties of those materials and how they are affected by such matters as compaction, water content, binder content etc.
