PAVEMENT DESIGN AND EVALUATION : THE REQUIRED MATHEMATICS AND APPLICATIONS

The book is intended for civil engineers and more specific for pavement engineers, who are interested in the more advanced field of pavement engineering made available through the theory of high mathematics. The primary objective of the book is, first to introduce the basis principles that must be known by people dealing with pavement and, secondly, to present the theories and methods in pavement design and evaluation that may be used by students, designers, engineering consultants, highway and airport agencies and research at universities. In addition, some of the new concepts developed in recent years to improve the methods of pavement systems are explained. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the mathematics required by most of the problems related to pavement engineering. The second part is concerned with practical solutions as faced by pavement engineers in the assessment of rigid and flexible pavements. (Abstract by the Autor)
