Riassunto

Internationally, much attention is given to causes, prevention, and rehabilitation of cracking in concrete, flexible, and composite pavements. The Sixth RILEMInternational Conference on Cracking in Pavements (Chicago, June 16-18, 2008) provided a forum for discussion of recent developments and research results.This book is a collection of papers from the Conference, and includes contributions on a variety of topics:- Modeling of the initiation and propagation of pavement cracking- Top-down and bottom-up fatigue cracking mechanisms- Laboratory testing techniques and evaluation effectiveness- Construction approaches and their relation to crack development- Crack surveys and nondestructive evaluation- In-situ experimental studies: field construction and rehabilitation techniques to inhibit pavement cracking- Performance of crack preventative techniques and pavement service life prediction- Interlay system effectiveness- Pavement cracking evaluation using accelerated pavement testing- Hot-mix asphalt overlay characterization- Pavement interface modeling and testing- Laboratory and field model validation- Low-temperature cracking mechanisms and field studies- Cracking in semi-rigid and stabilized pavement layers- Analytical and experimental investigations of concrete joints- White topping performancePavement Cracking: Mechanisms, Modeling, Detection, Testing, and Case Histories is particularly of interest to academics, researchers, andpractitioners involved in pavement mechanics and performance.
