STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT SYSTEMS (PROCEEDINGS OF WORKSHOP 7--10 DECEMBER 1970, AUSTIN, TEX.)

THE BOOK CONSISTS OF REPORTS OF NINE PROBLEM-ORIENTED DISCUSSION GROUPS, A SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF RESEARCH NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY PARTICIPANTS OF THE WORKSHOP, AND STATE OF THE ART REPORTS. THERE ARE ALSO BRIEF REPORTS ON THE IMPLICATINS OF THE WORKSHOP FOR FHWA AND THREE HRB COMMITTEES. THE TOPICS ADDRESSED BY THE DISCUSSION GROUPS WERE MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION, SOLUTIONS TO BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS, DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS, LOAD AND ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES, TRAFFIC-INDUCED FRACTURE, OTHER FRACTURE, TRAFFIC- INDUCED PERMANENT DEFORMATION, OTHER PERMANENT DEFORMATION, AND THE RELATION OF DISTRESS TO PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE. STATE OF THE ART REPORTS WERE PRESENTED ON RESEARCH FOR STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF ASPHALTIC CONCRETE PAVEMENT SYSTEMS, GENERAL DISTRESS MECHANISMS, DISTRESS IN FULL-SCALE PAVEMENTS, FUNDAMENTALS OF MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION, SOLUTIONS AND SOLUTION TECHNIQUES FOR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS, DAMAGAE AND DISTRESS IN HIGHWAY PAVEMENTS, SERVICEABILITY PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN CONSIDERATION, EXPERIMENTS IN MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION, AND IN SITU MATERIALS VARIABILITY.
