دانلود کتاب Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide - A Manual of Practice

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :

This manual provides the highway community with a state-of-the-practice analysis tool for evaluating pavement structures using mechanistic-empirical principles, using project specific traffic, climate, and materials data for estimating damage accumulation over a specified pavement service life. This manual is applicable to designs for new, reconstructed, and rehabilitated flexible, rigid, and semi-rigid pavements. Performance and distress predictions models are used to aid the pavement designer in determining the desired pavement section.
