Crack reflection through a road structure is one of the main causes of premature pavement deterioration. This is a widespread problem in many countries and highway maintenance authorities are having to find economic means of repairing and upgrading their pavements. This book considers different aspects of the subject including assessment, evaluation and prevention. The text should be of interest to highway engineers and government agencies.

In considering strait crossings, papers in this text deal with bridges, tunnels, immersed tunnels, submerged floating tunnels, floating bridges, ferry crossings in general, and social and environmental aspects.
