Supplement to the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures


Book Description

This Supplement includes alternative design procedures that can be used in place of or in conjunction with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) "Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures", Part II, Section 3.2, Rigid Pavement Design, and Section 3.3, Rigid Pavement Joint Design. The Supplement contains the recommendations from National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 1-30, modified based on the results of the verification study conducted using the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database.







Long-Term Performance Program


Book Description

Sponsored by the Highway Division of ASCE; Long-Term Performance Program of the Federal Highway Administration. This collection contains papers from the International Contest on LTPP [Long-Term Performance Program] Data Analysis 1998-1999. This competition involved university students in the analysis of data in the LTPP database. Topics include: effect of locked-in curvature on portland cement concrete pavement; evaluation of a pavement performance prediction model using LTPP data; prediction of pavement performance?a neural network approach; and effectiveness of preventative maintenance strategies for asphalt concrete pavements based on LTPP distress data.




Pavement Engineering


Book Description

Pavement Engineering will cover the entire range of pavement construction, from soil preparation to structural design and life-cycle costing and analysis. It will link the concepts of mix and structural design, while also placing emphasis on pavement evaluation and rehabilitation techniques. State-of-the-art content will introduce the latest concepts and techniques, including ground-penetrating radar and seismic testing. This new edition will be fully updated, and add a new chapter on systems approaches to pavement engineering, with an emphasis on sustainability, as well as all new downloadable models and simulations.




TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING


Book Description

India's Transport System has several deficiencies such as inadequate capacity, poor safety record, emission of pollutants and outmoded technology. But as the economy is poised for a big growth in the coming years transportation engineers will have to come up with innovative ideas. The book addresses these issues and it is hoped that the engineering students studying transportation engineering will have a clear idea of the problems involved and how they transportation engineering will have a clear idea of the problems involved and how they can be overcome in their professional career.




Principles of Pavement Engineering


Book Description

Principles of Pavement Engineering, Third edition is an essential reference on fundamental principles of pavement engineering, showing how to design, construct, evaluate and maintain pavements of all types.
