Focused on the life cycle of road infrastructure. The text provides an exhaustive look at pavement materials, specifically examining the properties and laboratory testing of soils, aggregates, and bituminous binders. It bridges the gap between theory and practice by incorporating both European (CEN) and American (ASTM/AASHTO) standards, making it a versatile resource for an international audience. Key topics include structural design, modern construction techniques, and mechanical evaluation methods for both flexible and rigid pavements. Furthermore, the author emphasizes sustainability through dedicated sections on pavement recycling, rehabilitation, and long-term management strategies. Ultimately, the source serves as a comprehensive guide...
