Asphalt Pavements contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Asphalt Pavements (Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, 1-5 June 2014), and discusses recent advances in theory and practice in asphalt materials and pavements. The contributions cover a wide range of topics:- Environmental protection and socio-economic impacts- Additives and modifiers for asphalt concrete- Maintenance and rehabilitation- Experimental characterization of asphaltic materials- Life cycle cost analysis/modeling of compaction in the laboratory and in the field- Perpetual pavements- Pavement management systems- The Proliferation Of Technological Capability, Miniaturization, And Demand For Aerial Intelligence Is Pushing Unmanned Aerial Systems (uas) Into The Realm Of A Multi-billion Dollar Industry. This Book Surveys The Uas Landscape From History To Future Applications. It Discusses Commercial Applications, Integration Into The National Airspace System (nas), System Function, Operational Procedures, Safety Concerns, And A Host Of Other Relevant Topics. The Book Is Dynamic And Well-illustrated With Separate Sections For Terminology And Web- Based Resources For Further Information. Asphalt Pavements discusses recent advances in theory and practice in asphalt materials and pavements, and will be of interest to academics and professional involved in asphalt engineering.
