NEW PAVING DESIGNS AND MATERIALS - BREAKING AWAY FROM TRADITION

This paper addresses recent developments in design methods for heavy-duty port paving and the cost-effectiveness of new technologies in pavement materials. The process of pavement design requires a comprehensive study of all factors that relate to the pavement's performance. These considerations are reviewed by citing examples of ongoing work undertaken by Nigel Nixon and Partners, including projects at the Port of Virginia, Port of Oakland, Port of Seattle, and Port of Jamaica.
