This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 15 technical papers covering recent advances in the characterization and modeling of materials used in pavement systems. Topics include: subgrade soil and aggregate base/subbase materials characterization, asphalt concrete mixes and their constitutive modeling, pavement systems modeling, and use of artificial neural networks in pavement modeling. The analysis methods include both finite and discrete element modeling techniques, artificial neural networks, microstructural analysis, stiffness matrix approach for dynamic pavement analysis, and curve fitting and statistical parameter estimation techniques. Different methods of laboratory and field testing are included, namely: triaxial, asphalt tension, asphalt x-ray tomography imaging, asphalt binder, nondestructive pavement, accelerated pavement, and field bender element method. Engineers working within geotechnical and transportation facilities, who have a special interest in pavement mechanics, will find this publication of particular interest. ER -
