The book addresses the growing need for efficient highway design in Ethiopia, focusing on the issues surrounding concrete asphalt roads that often fail before their intended lifespan. It highlights the critical factors affecting road performance, such as vehicle loads, modulus of elasticity, and layer thickness. Additionally, it introduces the finite element method as a numerical analysis tool to assess stress, strain, and deflection in pavement layers, providing insights into improving road infrastructure to meet increasing traffic demands.
