Introduction Pavement Applications Construction Issues Basic Engineering Concepts Approaches to Design Design for Durability Design Reliability Regular Treatments and Repairs
Pavement engineering is a branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to design and maintain flexible (asphalt) and rigid (concrete) pavements. This includes streets and highways and involves knowledge of soils, hydraulics, and material properties. Pavement engineering involves new construction as well as rehabilitation and maintenance of existing pavements. Maintenance often involves using engineering judgment to make maintenance repairs with the highest long-tem benefit and lowest cost.
