An introduction to highway construction materials, including soils, aggregates, asphalt mixtures, portland cement concrete, and other paving materials. A basic knowledge of algebra-physics should be sufficient for solving the end-of-chapter problems and working through the laboratory test procedures. The text uses the SI system of units, although most of the problems and examples include traditional units in parentheses, and some problems are repeated using traditional units. Annotation c.
