Despite the significant progress made in the past §three decades towards a comprehensive understanding §of the processes and phenomena related to pavement §deterioration and performance, it is freely admitted §that a considerable gap in engineering knowledge §will continue to persist well into the 21st century. §§Understanding pavement performance is a complex §mission because pavement performance is controlled §by many factors. Many studies have been conducted to §answer a simple twofold question; how pavement §performs and why it performs in this manner? This §big question took the road agencies tens of years of §research and investigations to answer and still no §remedy answers have been found yet. This situation §is true due to the fact that pavement is not a §homogenous system or material that behaves in the §same way at different locations. This book tries to §answer some of these questions.
