Opis

This book is a comprehensive design guide summarising current best practice for the design of concrete pavements. Following an overview of the theory involved, the author details optimum design techniques and best practice, with a focus on highway and infrastructure projects. Worked examples and calculations are provided to describe standard design methods, illustrated with numerous case studies. The author provides guidance on how to use each method on particular projects, with reference to UK, European and US standards and codes of practice. Concrete Pavement Design: Guidance Notes is an essential handbook for civil engineers, consultants and contractors involved in the design and construction of concrete pavements. It will also be of interest to students of pavement design.
