Analysis of Asphalt Pavement Materials and Systems: Emerging Methods

Proceedings of the Symposium on the Mechanics of Flexible Pavements, held at the 15th U.S. National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in Boulder, Colorado, June 25-30, 2006. Sponsored by Pavement Committee of the Geo-Institute of ASCE; the Inelastic Committee and the Granular Materials Committee of the Engineering Mechanics Division of ASCE.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 13 papers covering a variety of important and timely topics in the characterization, modeling, and simulation of the behavior of asphalt pavement systems. Topics discussed include modeling, numerical implementation and simulation, and experimental characterization.

Engineers involved in mix design, pavement design and analysis, and pavement performance assessments will benefit from this report.
