This book presents a rigorous treatment of the fundamental, mathematical behaviour of pavement structures under dynamic loading. The topic is of growing importance in economic design of aircraft runways and highway pavements. A range of modelling approaches are presented and compared with experimental data.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Dynamics of Pavement Structures is the first to present a systematic approach to the analysis of pavement systems from a dynamic point of view…it should find its way into engineering libraries for its comprehensive treatment of dynamics”. – Applied Mechanics Reviews
From the Back Cover
This book presents a rigorous treatment of the fundamental mathematical behaviour of pavement structures under dynamic loading. The subject is of growning importance in the design of economic highway pavements and aircraft runways requiring increasingly arduous performance standards.
