This text/software package explores the structural analysis and design of highway pavements - focusing on the mechanistic-empirical design procedures rather than the purely empirical methods. *presents the theory of pavement design and reviews the methods developed by several organizations, such as the AASHTO, the AI, and the PCA. *includes the KENLAYER program for flexible pavements - applicable to a multilayered system under stationary or moving multiple wheel loads with each layer being either linear elastic, nonlinear elastic, or viscoelastic. *contains the KENSLABS program for rigid pavements - applicable to multiple slabs fully or partially supported on a liquid, solid, or layered foundation with moment or shear transfer across the joints. *presents most of the advanced theory and detailed information in appendices. *features a large number of examples and line drawings.

General Help,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pavement Analysis and Design (Paperback)
Overall, the book is helpful. It starts off discussing the general pavement types, design methods, and roads tests. Included in this section are the results of findings which, although not something I consider in everyday design, are items that are interesting enough to promote thought in my designs. All in all, I found almost all the chapters useful as they cover stresses in flexible and rigid pavements, rigid and flexible pavement design, drainage design, pavement performance, as well as a few other issues. The only downfall are the two chapters covering the authors computer program. Most books have this problem, though, as technology quickly outgrows software, but enough information is given in relation to results of parametric studies to make these chapters worth the time needed to read through them. All in all, a pretty good purchase.

This review is from: Pavement Analysis and Design (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
Even it is not up to date (the new ME-PDG), but it can be a good reference, but it contains detailed historical information and some methodolgies that no longer in use, it is better for undergraduate students.
