Synopsis
This comprehensive guide, written by a professional consultant whose clients include the US Army Corps of Engineers, contains methods for practical evaluation of paved roads, runways and car parks, with the goal of establishing management rather than mere repair as the maintenance strategy of choice. Numerous techniques are explained in principle and in everyday application to specific types of surface and specific settings. Extensive appendices include survey forms, and detailed, use-specific test standards for all kinds of paved surfaces. From surveys and measurement of distress and deterioration to assessment of roughness and skid resistance, this book serves as a complete and usable reference.
