Pavement Analysis and Design

By Yang H . Huang

The first edition of Pavement Analysis and Design was published in 1993. The wide - spread adoption of this book by so many colleges as an undergraduate or graduate text has encouraged me to write this second edition . A major event during the past decade was the completion of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), which led to the development of the highly publicized 2002 Pavement Design Guide . However, at the time of this writing, the final draft of the 2002 Guide is still not available . It will likely be a few more years before the Guide is approved and implemented by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) . For this reason, only a brief preview of the 2002 Pavement Design Guide is presented, in an appendix.
