Inhaltsangabe

This handbook collects just about everything an engineer needs to know about bitumen, the tarlike mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum and most commonly used for road surfacing and roofing. The 20 chapters describe the manufacture and structure of bitumens, the mechanical testing and properties of bitumens and asphalts, and the design of flexible pavements. The previous edition was published in 1990; this fifth edition (2004) reflects new European and American standards. Distributed in the U.S. by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
