Description
In the UK alone, 30 million tonnes of bituminous mixtures are used each year. It is the most expensive material used in road construction and repair, and yet is the least well understood. This volume has been written to explain the various bituminous wearing course materials and surface treatments available to engineers, as well as various emerging technologies which are likely to have an impact on surfacing in the medium term. Aimed at the consulting, contracting and maintenance engineer, the book provides a reference to the materials used and will enable the engineer to select or specify the materials and treatments most appropriate for use on specific sites.
