eBook: Building Roads that Last: A Guide to Perpetual Pavements

Designing roadways that can withstand decades of traffic, environmental stress, and budget constraints is one of the greatest challenges facing today’s transportation agencies. Building Roads that Last: A Guide to Perpetual Pavements, explores how perpetual pavement design enables long-life asphalt pavements that deliver durability, sustainability, and measurable life-cycle cost savings. 

This new eBook provides a practical, engineering-focused overview of how mechanistic-empirical pavement design principles are used to create asphalt pavements capable of lasting 50 years or more with only periodic surface renewal. Through real-world examples, performance data, and award-winning project insights, the eBook explains how fatigue-resistant asphalt pavement designs reduce rehabilitation needs, conserve materials, and lower long-term ownership costs. It also examines material selection, mix design strategies, and structural considerations that support resilient pavement performance across traffic levels and climates. 

Whether you’re a pavement engineer, DOT decision-maker, or infrastructure planner, this guide offers valuable insights into designing roads that perform longer, cost less over time, and deliver lasting value to the traveling public.
