Principles of Pavement Engineering, Third edition is an essential reference on fundamental principles of pavement engineering, showing how to design, construct, evaluate and maintain pavements of all types.

The manual is intended to provide information for the quality control of hot-mix asphalt pavements. Although emphasis is placed on the duties and responsibilities of asphalt inspectors, good quality control procedures must also involve other personnel who should understand quality control procedures and efficient plant and paving practices. The manual also details all aspects of hot-mix asphalt pavement construction from the initial acceptance of the aggregate and asphalt to the laying and compaction.

The objective of this research project was to conduct a literature review on longitudinal joint construction for hot- mix asphalt pavements. The review covered the issues related to the principles of hotmix asphalt paving and compaction for longitudinal joint construction, longitudinal joint problems, and some longitudinal joint construction techniques and specifications from different studies. Specific recommendations have also been made for application in the State of Kansas.

For more than 70 years, "MS-4" has served the asphalt industry as its primary reference manual. This new, expanded edition showcases the advances in asphalt technology, covering such topics as superpave courses, asphalt binder, quality control, and rehabilitation of concrete pavements with HMA.
