Discusses the basic principles underlying material behavior, pavement design and maintenance. This book covers various types of pavement material and construction techniques and concentrates on the fundamentals of performance. It is suitable for practicing engineers.
Principles of pavement engineering offers sound engineering understanding to those learning, practising or researching in this field. It is concerned with the basic principles underlying material behaviour, pavement design and maintenance, and will allow the reader to move beyond a mere following of design standards and become able to tackle problems outside the scope of such requirements.

Nick Thom specialises in the design of a wide range of pavement types. He currently divides his time between the University of Nottingham, where he is a part-time Lecturer, and Scott Wilson Pavement Engineering where he is a Pavement Consultant. In add
