This text is for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students of highway or pavement engineering worldwide.

The book should also be of interest to: all universities with civil engineering courses; professional engineers involved in highway design and maintenance; and support institutions: World Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Asian Development Bank, Inter-American Bank;and also bilateral aid donors, such as DFID (UK), SIDA, DANIDA, NORAD, FINNIDA, GTZ, and JICA.
