Features: This book was written to meet the needs of large-scale construction of high-grade asphalt pavements in China. With engineering application as its goal, it systematically and comprehensively elaborates on the properties of raw materials for asphalt and asphalt mixtures, mix design methods, construction techniques, and pavement performance. The introduction to the composition analysis of petroleum asphalt and mix design methods is detailed, addressing the shortcomings of existing textbooks. It also covers cutting-edge content on asphalt mixtures research and application, such as modified asphalt, SMA, the U.S. Superpave asphalt index system and design methods, and steel bridge deck paving. The book extensively cites engineering case studies and latest research findings. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in road engineering and related fields at universities, as well as a reference for technical personnel and researchers engaged in road engineering.
