"As roads and highways fall into disrepair, the widespread need for major infrastructure investments is central to policy debates across the US. There are urgent questions about how to rebuild transportation systems so they are safe, durable and sustainable. Civil engineers who specialize in pavement design, preservation and rehabilitation will play a vital role in achieving those goals. The roads we use every day are the result of careful planning and problem solving by specialists who understand the physical properties of soil, concrete and asphalt. Civil engineers who specialize in pavements are responsible for ensuring that roads withstand daily stresses, maintaining these surfaces over time, rehabilitating areas that have deteriorated, and reimagining roads and highways to meet changing needs. Pavement Design and Materials, Second Edition offers a detailed exploration of pavement materials, analysis, design, evaluation, and economics of asphalt and portland concrete roadways. This new edition has been updated with the latest techniques, standards, and pavement design and analysis software, including AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design. Ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level courses on pavement design and pavement engineering, this second edition includes end-of-chapter problems to enhance student comprehension. Instructors have access to a solutions manual, PowerPoint lecture slides by chapter, and links to relevant software through the book companion website"--
