An International Textbook, from A to Z Highway Engineering:
Pavements, Materials and Control of Quality covers the basic
principles of pavement management, highlights recent advancements,
and details the latest industry standards and techniques in the
global market. Utilizing the author's more than 30 years of
teaching, researching, and consulting experience, this text focuses
on the design, construction, maintenance, and management of
pavements for roads and highways, and covers the main topics in
highway engineering. The author integrates pavement materials,
material testing for acceptability and quality assurance, asphalt
mix design, flexible and rigid pavement design, construction,
maintenance and strengthening procedures, quality control of
production and acceptance of asphalts, pavement evaluation, asphalt
plants, and pavement recycling. He also includes both European and
American (ASTM and AASHTO) standards and practice, and is
extensively illustrated with references, tables, graphs, charts,
and photographs. The book contains 18 chapters that cover: Soils
for roadworks Aggregates for unbound, hydraulically bound
materials, and bituminous mixtures Bitumen and bituminous binders
Laboratory tests and properties of paving bitumen and bitumen
emulsion Hot and cold bituminous mixtures Fundamental mechanical
properties of bituminous mixtures and testing Production,
transportation, laying, and compaction of bituminous mixtures
Quality control and acceptance of bituminous mixtures Methods for
determining stresses and strains in pavements Pavement design and
construction Thickness design methodologies for flexible and rigid
pavements Pavement maintenance Rehabilitation and strengthening
Pavement evaluation Equipment for measuring surface and structural
characteristics Pavement management Pavement recycling Written for
civil engineering students and engineers engaged in highway
projects or laboratory testing, Highway Engineering: Pavements,
Materials and Control of Quality covers pavement engineering
comprehensively as a textbook for undergraduates and graduates, and
a valuable reference for practicing professionals.
