About the Book
From soil preparation and composition to structural design and load implications, this book covers the full range of construction. The first part of the text, which can be offered as a general course for upper level undergraduates, discusses the selection of materials, mix and structural design, and construction. The second part of the text, which is appropriate for an introductory graduate course, provides laboratory and field tests as well as advanced and new concepts. A unique feature is the emphasis on the fact that mix and structural design are linked, and a concurrent discussion of both design. The author also describes and explains pavement evaluation and rehabilitation.
