This book introduces purely mechanistic models that are of particular relevance to the pavement engineering profession. It commences with a short recap of basic mechanics concepts, and then delves into topics such as viscoelasticity, elastic half-space solutions, and mechanics of supported plates. Given that all pavement design and analysis approaches are founded on some mechanistic logic, the text essentially offers a universal and long-lasting reference to practitioners and engineering students.
