Based on the relevant research results and practices at home and abroad, the booksystematically elaborates the theories and application technologies regarding asphalt pavement maintenance and reconstruction. The book centrally representsresearch and engineering practice results of the authors in investigation andevaluation on application status of asphalt pavement over the last two decades or so, cause analysis of typical failing, preventive conservation technology, overlay maintenance technology, repair and reconstruction technology.The book can be used as the reference book for personnel engaged in asphalt pavement design, construction and service management of highway, municipal road, and airfield pavement and testing, managing, supervising and other technical personnel.
