This volume investigates the fundamental mechanisms, predictive modeling, and diagnostic methodologies associated with pavement cracking in concrete, flexible, and composite road surfaces. David Wool compiles research presented at the Sixth RILEM International Conference on Cracking in Pavements, providing a technical framework for understanding structural degradation. The text synthesizes empirical data and theoretical models to address the prevention and rehabilitation of infrastructure failure.

Experts regard this collection as a technical resource for civil engineers and researchers focused on pavement durability. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose and the specialized nature of the case studies presented.
