Overview
- Covers advanced continuum mechanics in a way accessible to roadway designers
- Relates the fundamentals of materials science to the fundamentals of continuum mechanics in the context of roadway design and explains how each are utilized to design better roadways
- Provides a rigorous methodology for designing roadway materials in such a way as to optimize performance for any given conditions
- Details the established state of the art in experimental analysis and characterization of roadway material properties required for designing roadways
- Stands as a self-contained reference for understanding modern roadway computational algorithms
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
