"… provides an excellent overview of wide range of topics including modern practically relevant aspects covered in pavement engineering. Both theoretical and practical knowledge is well covered. Principles in important areas such as Analysis and design of pavements, maintenance and rehabilitation, economic analysis and environmental mitigation are well described through necessary theoretical formulae and relevant practices are well captured through photographs covering activities in the field."
—Sanjay Nimbalkar, University of Technology Sydney, Australia
"A well-rounded book which would be useful for students and professionals who want new/additional knowledge related to pavement engineering. "
—Olisanwendu Ogwuda, Heriot-Watt University, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
"…presents a detailed insight of pavement engineering and includes all aspects. I had an opportunity to learn the subject from different perspectives."
—Pritam Saha, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, India
"We have happily used this book for the past five years in our pavement design course. It expertly covers the important topics in pavements in sufficient detail: structural design, mix design, traffic, distresses, maintenance, etc. No other textbook summarizes such a wide range of topics as well as Pavement Engineering: Principles and Practice."
—Christopher Senseney, United States Air Force Academy, Colorado, USA
"The most valuable resource, of which I am aware, for the education of Road, Runway and Port engineers."
—John Yeaman, University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia
"Pavement Engineering: Principles and Practice, Third Edition covers a wide range of topics in asphalt and concrete pavements, from soil preparation to structural design construction and maintenance. It is an excellent book for Master and PhD students. My Master and PhD students already use the second edition of this book. The Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Coimbra has also one exemplar of this book in the library. The new Edition will be even better."
—Adelino Ferreira, University of Coimbra, Portugal
"This book is, in my opinion, the best and most easily structured text to teach pavement structural engineering to undergraduate engineering students. It strikes a good balance between fundamentals and practice and helps guide undergraduate students to see how the two are connected. The core content I use to teach my course is here, and information on other aspects of pavement engineering less related to direct structural design of pavements is there as well."
—Shane Underwood, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, USA
"The book covers very well the whole range of topics for pavement design, construction and maintenance. The topics are presented in a concise but compressive way, so the book is appropriate for practitioners and as a first level book for graduate or post graduate students in civil engineering as well."
—Salvatore Cafiso, University of Catania, Italy
"While various manuals, handbooks or guidance are available for the characterization of pavement surfaces, it is always difficult to discuss the quantification of pavement surface characteristics owing to the variety surface features and different approaches for their characterization. Chapter 19 (Pavement surface characteristics) provides a precise, yet comprehensive, description and step-by-step procedures for different types of surface characteristics. It is ideal for undergraduate students or entry-level pavement engineers at the beginning of their career."
—Peijun Guo, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada
"The book includes some new methodology for constructing pavements such as precast concrete pavements. This will be helpful for the new generation of pavement engineers."
— Mohammad Imran Hossain, Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois, USA
