An Expert Guide to Developing More-Durable and Cost-Effective Asphalt Pavements: Written by distinguished experts from countries around the world, Modeling of Asphalt Concrete presents in-depth coverage of the current materials, methods, and models used for asphalt pavements.
Included
is state-of-the-art information on fundamental material properties and
mechanisms affecting the performance of asphalt concrete, new
rheological testing and analysis techniques, constitutive models, and
performance prediction methodologies for asphalt concrete and asphalt
pavements. Emphasis is placed on the modeling of asphalt mixes for
specific geographic/climatic requirements.
In light of America's
crumbling infrastructure and our heavy usage of asphalt as a paving
material, this timely reference is essential for the development of
more-durable and cost-effective asphalt materials for both new
construction and rehabilitation.
Harness the Latest Breakthroughs in Asphalt Concrete Technology:
Asphalt Rheology • Constitutive Models • Stiffness Characterization •
Models for Low-Temperature Cracking • Models for Fatigue Cracking and
Moisture Damage • Models for Rutting and Aging.
