Book Description
Specifications, tests, and practices detail the properties of various road and paving materials and explain how to measure their characteristics. These standards cover aggregates, bituminous mixtures, bridges, bridge decks, and structures. They also cover highway traffic materials, such as retroreflective sheeting and pavement markers.This volume also covers vehicle-pavement systems, including field methods for measurement of tire pavement friction, measurement and control of roughness in construction and rehabilitation of pavements, surface characteristics related to tire pavement slip resistance, tire and slider characteristics, traffic monitoring, and vehicle roadside communication.

Book Description
Paving Our Ways covers the international history of road paving in an interesting, readable and technically accurate way. It provides an overview of the associated technologies in a historical context. It examines the earliest pavements in Egypt and Mesopotamia and then moves to North Africa, Crete, Greece and Italy, before a review of pavements used by the Romans in their magnificent road system. After its empire collapsed, Roman pavements fell into ruin. The slow recovery of pavements in Europe began in France and then in England. The work of Trésaguet, Telford and McAdam is examined. Asphalt and concrete slowly improved as paving materials in the second part of the 19th century. Major advances occurred in the 20th century with the availability of powerful machinery, pneumatic tyres and bitumen. The advances needed to bring pavements to their current development are explored, as are the tools for financing, constructing, managing and maintaining pavements. The book should appeal to those interested in road paving, and in the history of engineering and transport. It can also serve as a text for courses in engineering history.
