Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements: Intergrated Analysis and Design of Conventional and Heavy Duty Asphalt Pavement

Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements provides engineers and researchers with a detailed guide to the structural behavioral dynamics of asphalt pavement including: pavement temperature distribution, mechanistic response of pavement structure under the application of heavy vehicles, distress mechanism of pavement, and pavement deterioration performance and dynamic equations. An authoritative guide for understanding the key mechanisms for creating longer lasting pavements, Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements describes the intrinsic consistency between macroscopic performance and microscopic response, structure and material, as well as global and local performances, and demonstrates the process of pavement analyses and designs, approaching science from empirical analyses. Analyzes the external and internal factors influencing pavement temperature field, and provide a review of existing pavement temperature prediction modelsIntroduces a Bridge Principle? through which pavement performance and fatigue properties are consolidatedDefines the intrinsic consistency between macroscopic performance and microscopic response, structure and material, as well as global and local performanceSummaries the mechanistic response of pavement structure under the application of heavy vehicle, distress mechanism of pavement, pavement deterioration performance and dynamic equations, and life cycle analysis of pavement INDICE: Chapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 Temperature Distribution in Asphalt Pavement Chapter 3 Vehicle Load Stress in Pavement Structure Chapter 4 Characteristics of Distresses in Asphalt PavementsChapter 5 Distress Mechanism for Asphalt PavementsChapter 6 Equation for Asphalt Pavements' BehaviorChapter 7 Equation for Overlaid Asphalt Pavements' BehaviorChapter 8 Life Cycle Design Method for Pavement Structure Chapter 9 Rutting Analysis Model for Asphalt PavementsChapter 10 Comprehensive Pavement's Behavior----Bridge PrincipleChapter 11 Shear Resistance Test for Asphalt MixtureChapter 12 Integrated Pavement Design SystemChapter 13 Issues To Be Solved in Future Pavement Research
