Asphalt Paving Technology

by Carl L. Monismith, Rita B. Leahy, John A. Epps

Here is the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage available today on asphalt technology-a multi-billion dollar industry in the U.S. It is the first major work in fifty years to provide current information on asphalt mix design technology. In addition to a detailed look at the state of the art and the most recent research developments, the book emphasizes the importance of quality control and assurance programs in pavement production, and highlights a wide variety of technically sound and cost effective methodologies. The book also is the first to incorporate both theoretical and analytical concepts of material and analytical concepts of material behavior for asphalt concrete mix design, and includes information obtained from the recently completed Strategic Highway Research Program, a $50 million program in which the authors played a prominent role.
