Modeling of Asphalt Concrete

Battered by weather and increasing traffic loads, asphalt concrete pavements are wearing out much sooner than expected. This book equips the engineer with information and guidance on cutting edge materials and methods of asphalt pavement to deal with this major infrastructure challenge. Filled with over 300 detailed illustrations, this state-of- the-art engineering resource offers a hands-on understanding of the Superpave system that was developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program, which gives pavement designers the tools needed to tailor asphalt mixes to specific traffic loads and climates. Using international units throughout, the book explains asphalt rheology, constitutive materials, stiffness characterizations, and models for low temperature cracking, fatigue cracking, rutting, and aging.
