Editorial for the Special Issue RILEM MCD2016: The 8th Rilem International Conference on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Pavements (MCD2016) was held in Nantes (France) from June 7 to 9, 2016 (mcd2016.sciencesconf.org). The international journal, European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering (EJECE) published from MCD2016 a thematic issue entitled “Debonding Mechanisms in Various Interfaces between Layers”, related to the topic: “Debonding mechanisms between layers of asphalt and composite pavement”. From the 36 MCD2016 papers submitted on this topic, the five papers selected, revised and accepted for this thematic issue had all followed the standard EJECE review process. They present the main advances achieved in understanding pavement interface behaviour.
