This book addresses the design, construction, and performance of concrete pavements. It sets out best practices for the construction of economical, long-life concrete pavement by engineers in the public and private sectors. It also outlines first alternatives for concrete pavement solutions, and identifies their performance and behavior parameters. The text addresses materials selection and mix design as well as pavement construction. It emphasizes the coherence of these three elements: materials, design, and construction, and covers highways, airport, industrial, and light-duty pavements.

Presents the circumstances of important failures that have had wide-reaching impacts on civil engineering practice. This work includes case studies that narrate the known facts of the situation: design and construction, the failure, subsequent investigation or analysis, and issues such as technical concerns and ethical considerations.
