Special Issue on: "Forensic Investigation of Highway and Airfield Pavements"

Guest Editor:
Dr. Xingwei Chen, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, USA

The quality and performance of highway and airfield pavements are vitally important for safe and efficient movement of people and goods. To ensure the risk of premature deterioration of pavements is minimised, forensic engineering has been applied to the examination of pavement failures. This special issue aims at providing an update to the state-of-the-art on forensic investigations of highway and airfield pavements. Original research and review articles are solicited in all aspects dealing with investigation of pavement materials, design, construction, analysis, performance, rehabilitation and management.

Subject Coverage
Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Asphalt binder and mixture characterisation, asphalt mix-design and HMA testing
• Moisture damage in asphaltic concrete materials
• Warm mix asphalt
• Reclaimed asphalt pavement
• Characterisation, modelling and field performance of concrete pavement
• Chemical, mechanical and bio stabilisation for pavement base and subgrade
• Airfield pavement analysis, performance and rehabilitation
• Non-destructive tests of pavement
• Accelerated testing of pavement materials and structures
• Pavement design, modelling, performance and management
