An international view of pavement engineering

Abstract

The authors have attempted to show that local differences in pavement practices and climate are typically not all that different (with the exception of countries such as South Africa). Further, the transfer of technology is difficult given the current transfer venues. The International Pavement Guide is not being developed and requires much discussion if such an effort is ever undertaken. An international technology workshop is currently being planned for 1998. Possibly, this joint South Africa / USA activity can serve as a model for this type of venue.
