Paperback : £42.10
Analysis of Pavement Structures brings together current research and existing knowledge on the analysis and design of pavements and introduces load and thermal stress analyses of asphalt and concrete pavement structures in a simple and step-by-step manner. For the second edition of this book, a new chapter on numerical implementation (using FEM) of pavement analysis is added along with topics such as mechanical modeling of granular materials, applications of convolution theorems in visco-elasticity, visco-elastic Poisson’s ratio, concepts of fracture mechanics in relation to fatigue of asphalt mix, solution of semi-infinite and so forth. New solved examples and schematic diagrams are also added.
Features:
This book is aimed at graduate students, structural mechanics researchers, and senior undergraduate students in civil/pavement/highway/transport engineering.

Animesh Das, Ph.D., is presently working as
Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute
of Technology Kanpur. He received his Ph.D. degree from Indian
Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Dr. Das’s area of interest is
pavement material characterization, pavement analysis, pavement
design and pavement maintenance. He has many technical publications
in various journals of repute and in conference proceedings. He has
co-authored a text book titled Principles of Transportation
Engineering published by the Prentice-Hall of India (currently, PHI
learning).
He has received a number of awards in recognition to his
contribution in the field, including Indian National Academy of
Engineers Young Engineer award (2004) and Fulbright-Nehru Senior
Research Fellowship (2012-13). Details of his works can be found on
