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.
"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
