Product Description
This up-to-date book covers both theoretical and practical aspects of pavement analysis and design. It includes some of the latest developments in the field, and some very useful computer software—developed by the author—with detailed instructions. Specific chapter topics include stresses and strains in flexible pavements, stresses and deflections in rigid pavements, traffic loading and volume, material characterization, drainage design, pavement performance, reliability, flexible pavement design, rigid pavement design, design of overlays, theory of viscoelasticity, theory of elastic layer systems, Superpave, pavement management systems, and an introduction to the 2002 Pavement Design Guide. For practicing engineers in the design of pavements and raft foundations.

 Compendio completo... tal vez demasiado April 30, 2002

Si algo es evidente en esta produccion de Yang H. Huang es que, si bien el texto abarca muchos niveles sobre el tema de los pavimentos, actua mas como el marco teorico del software desarrollado por el autor que como un intento de substituir, o por lo menos actualizar, obras tradicionales en el tema como el libro de Yoder y Witzckac.El tema expuesto es denso, asi como la presentacion del texto y el desarrollo de los diferentes ejercicios. Por momentos carece de unidad, especialmente en lo relacionado con la confiabilidad que se presenta como un capitulo independiente cuando seria conveniente ilustrar su aplicacion en cada tema. El libro, no obstante, es muy bueno y no dudo en recomendarlo especialmente a estudiantes de postgrado y consultores en ejercicio. Los estudiantes que se inician en el estudio de los pavimentos pueden encontrar el libro confuso, especialmente en algunos postulados basicos que se han tomado como axiomaticos, por lo cual otro tipo de obras es recomendable antes de acometer la lectura del mismo.

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.

o livro faz uma abordagem de forma racional e cientifica dos metodos mecanisticos para dimensionamento e analise de pavimentos flexiveis e rigidos, representado um guia para o engenheiro estrutural que pensa em abordar os pavimentos pelo metodo mecanistico. Ainda e um guia para uso dos softwares kenlayer e kenslabs, fundamentais para analise de tensoes e deslocamentos em pavimentos de concreto e asfalto. e o livro de consultas fundamental nessa area, sem a menor duvida. Uma obra indispensavel.
