Open Current Volume
Current and past volumes of the International Journal of Pavements, with peer-reviewed work on pavement maintenance, rehabilitation, materials testing and asset management.
The journal completed its twelfth year of publication in 2013, covering subjects that include accelerated pavement testing, asphalt and concrete pavement design and rehabilitation, stabilization technologies, nondestructive evaluation, material testing, life-cycle analysis, pavement management and computer modeling.
Each volume gathers papers presented and reviewed for the International Journal of Pavements and its associated IJPC conference, giving readers access to the journal archive across successive years of publication.
Two routes into the published literature are provided on this page: the volume currently in progress and the collection of volumes published in earlier years.

The International Journal of Pavements serves as a long-running home for peer-reviewed research devoted to the maintenance, rehabilitation, and technological control of pavement infrastructure. Its scope spans the full life of a road surface, from accelerated pavement testing and the design of asphalt and concrete pavements to stabilization techniques, nondestructive evaluation, and the material testing practices used to verify performance. Work published here addresses the practical decisions engineers face when preserving aging highway, airport, and urban roadway networks, keeping contributions grounded in measurable field and laboratory outcomes.
Each volume brings together contributions on pavement management, life-cycle analysis, and computer modeling, reflecting how the discipline has broadened beyond construction toward sustained stewardship of existing assets. By linking engineering methods with systematic programming of repairs, the journal helps readers interpret how diagnostic data, structural modeling, and lifecycle thinking combine to guide rehabilitation strategies. The result is a body of literature useful to practicing transportation professionals, researchers, and educators who need shared language and documented practice across international contexts.
Author guidelines support the preparation and submission of manuscripts, outlining expectations for abstracts, presentation of results, and the review process applied before publication. Contributors are drawn from universities, agencies, and industry laboratories worldwide, and the journal is indexed in widely used abstracting and citation services, which allows individual papers to be located and referenced by specialists who may not normally work with pavement topics. Volumes accumulate over successive years, creating an archive that remains relevant to both current research and the historical development of pavement engineering practice.
The journal also carries conference news and related activity, connecting publication with the annual gathering of the pavement community and with organizing committee announcements, venue details, and calls for participation. These notices reflect an active editorial network rather than a purely archival platform: as each annual meeting concludes, presentations and discussion move back into the pages of the journal, where they are assessed by peers and preserved for future reference. Readers approaching the papers section are therefore offered both a curated scientific record and a view of the ongoing conversation shaping pavement maintenance and rehabilitation worldwide.
Submissions are handled under the Author's Guidelines, which apply both to the IJP Journal and to papers offered for the IJPC Conference. Subscription and advertising enquiries can be directed to the contacts listed on this site.
