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
