Inhaltsangabe

This second edition of Concrete Pavement Design, Construction, and Performance provides a solid foundation for pavement engineers seeking relevant and applicable design and construction instruction. It relies on general principles instead of specific ones, and incorporates illustrative case studies and prime design examples to highlight the material. It presents a thorough understanding of materials selection, mixture proportioning, design and detailing, drainage, construction techniques, and pavement performance. It also offers insight into the theoretical framework underlying commonly used design procedures as well as the limits of the applicability of the procedures. All chapters have been updated to reflect recent developments, including some alternative and emerging design technologies that improve sustainability.

What’s New in the Second Edition:

The second edition of this book contains a new chapter on sustainability, and coverage of mechanistic-empirical design and pervious concrete pavements. RCC pavements are now given a new chapter. The text also expands the industrial pavement design chapter.

• Outlines alternatives for concrete pavement solutions
• Identifies desired performance and behavior parameters
• Establishes appropriate materials and desired concrete proportions
• Presents steps for translating the design into a durable facility

The book highlights significant innovations such as one is two-lift concrete pavements, precast concrete pavement systems, RCC pavement, interlocking concrete pavers, thin concrete pavement design, and pervious concrete. This text also addresses pavement management, maintenance, rehabilitation, and overlays.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book addresses the design, construction, and performance of concrete pavements. It sets out best practices for the construction of economical, long-life concrete pavement by engineers in the public and private sectors. It also outlines first alternatives for concrete pavement solutions, and identifies their performance and behavior parameters. The text addresses materials selection and mix design as well as pavement construction. It emphasizes the coherence of these three elements: materials, design, and construction, and covers highways, airport, industrial, and light-duty pavements.
