Selected papers from the First International Symposium on Pavement and
Geotechnical Engineering for Transportation Infrastructure held in
Nanchang, China, June 5-7, 2011. Sponsored by the Nanchang Hangkong
University and the International Association of Chinese Infrastructure
Professionals (IACIP) in cooperation with the Geo-Institute of ASCE.
Pavement and Geotechnical Engineering for Transportation contains 20
papers that represent the latest developments in the application of
soil, rock, and paving materials to the study and application of
geomechanics and transportation geotechnology. Topics include pavement
structure and subgrade preparation such as: the use of chemical
additives and geogrid reinforcement; performance assessment of concrete
and asphalt mixtures; mathematical models for the simulation of
geotechnical problems; and evaluation of soil types in relation to slope
failure, consolidation, and embankment behavior. This Geotechnical
Practice Publication focuses on the application of geomechanics in
transportation and will be of interest to both geotechnical engineers
and transportation professionals.
