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 fr

Internationally, much attention is given to mechanistic pavement analysis, design and rehabilitation, their geotechnical aspects and the experimental determination of the necessary material model parameters. This conference on the Advanced Characterisation of Pavement and Soil Engineering (Athens, Greece, 20-22 June 2007) provided a forum for discussion of recent developments and research results.  Topics included:- Constitutive Modeling- Experimental Laboratory Material Characterization- Finite Element Simulation- Subgrade Testing, Evaluation and Modeling- Open Graded HMA and Moisture Damage- Field Measurements and In Situ Characterization- Nondestructive Measurement Techniques and Analysis Tools- Accelerated Testing- Hot-Mix Asphalt design- Pavement Management and Design- Measurement and Modeling of Pavement Cracking- Permanent Deformation- Pavement Interface Characteristics- Innovative Pavement Materials and Interface Systems- Surface Characterization & Tire-Surface Interaction- Concrete Pavements- Chemo-Physical Processes- Environmental Issues Related to Pavements- Case Studies- Rail-track Assessment and Rehabilitation- Railroad Ballast CharacterizationAdvanced Characterisation of Pavement and Soil Engineering is particularly of interest to academics, researchers and practitioners involved in computational simulation, experimental characterization and field testing for prediction of short and long term performance of various types of pavement.

Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields includes the contributions to the 10th International Conference on the Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields (BCRRA 2017, 28-30 June 2017, Athens, Greece). The papers cover aspects related to materials, laboratory testing, design, construction, maintenance and management systems of transport infrastructure, and focus on roads, railways and airfields. Additional aspects that concern new materials and characterization, alternative rehabilitation techniques, technological advances as well as pavement and railway track substructure sustainability are included. The contributions discuss new concepts and innovative solutions, and are concentrated but not limited on the following topics:· Unbound aggregate materials and soil properties· Bound materials characteritics, mechanical properties and testing· Effect of traffic loading· In-situ measurements techniques and monitoring· Structural evaluation· Pavement serviceability condition· Rehabilitation and maintenance issues· Geophysical assessment· Stabilization and reinforcement· Performance modeling· Environmental challenges· Life cycle assessment and sustainabilityBearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields is essential reading for academics and professionals involved or interested in transport infrastructure systems, in particular roads, railways and airfields.
