This is a widespread problem in many countries and highway maintenance authorities are having to find economic means of repairing and upgrading their pavements. This book is the eagerly awaited state-of-the-art report which considers all different aspects of the subject including assessment and use of overlay systems.
Cracking in pavements: nature and origin of cracks. Assessment and evaluation of the crack potential. Crack prevention and use of overlay systems. Characterisation of overlay systems.
