Modern highway engineering reflects an integrated view of a road
system's entire lifecycle, including any potential environmental
impacts, and seeks to develop a sustainable infrastructure through
careful planning and active management. This trend is not limited
to developed nations, but is recognized across the globe. Edited by
renowned authority T.F. Fwa, The Handbook of Highway Engineering
provides a comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of all aspects of
highway development and engineering. Its three sections range from
consideration of socio-economic and environmental factors to
design, construction, maintenance, and management. Beginning with
financing, access management, environmental impacts, road safety,
and noise, the book explores the expanded responsibilities of the
modern highway engineer as well as the increasing trend toward
privatization of project development and financing. The next
section considers technical issues in highway and pavement
engineering, including materials, new mechanistic-empirical design
approaches, and new closed-form solutions for backcalculation as
well as deflection and stress computation in multi-slab systems.
Rounding out the discussion, the final section examines
construction, management, performance evaluation including
nondestructive testing, and a chapter devoted to highway asset
management. Featuring contributions from eminent experts
representing eight countries on four continents, The Handbook of
Highway Engineering supplies all of the tools needed to manage the
entire integrated process of modern highway development and
engineering.
This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and
applications in the field of pavement technology, presented at the
12th International Conference in Road and Airfield Pavement
Technology (ICPT), hosted by the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka,
and held on July 14-16, 2021. It covers topics such as pavement
design, evaluation and construction, pavement materials
characterization, sustainability in pavement engineering, pavement
maintenance and rehabilitation techniques, pavement management
systems and financing, transportation safety, law and enforcement
related to pavement engineering, pavement drainage and erosion
control, GIS applications, quarry material assessment, pavement
instrumentation, IT and AI applications in pavement. Featuring
peer-reviewed contributions by leading international researchers
and engineers, the book is a timely and highly relevant resource
for materials scientists and engineers interested in pavement
engineering.
