About this title

Synopsis

Highways 5th Edition provides a comprehensive navigation across all aspects of road engineering, with the new edition containing the latest developments in the field. This edition builds more expansively on the already established fourth edition, which is often still viewed as the leading title in highway engineering. Unparalleled in the market, this book encompasses an extensive range of topics from pavement design, earthworks, and wet skid resistance to subsurface moisture control, surface drainage and construction of hot-mix bituminous roadbases and surfacings. This book shares the visionary insights and practical experiences of several industry experts who present the multifaceted aspects of road engineering.

Features rewritten chapters to incorporate the latest developments in the field
Covers the history of road construction programmes through to ongoing projects in Eastern Europe and Asia
Includes updated material on remote sensing and appropriate computer techniques currently used in road location
Focuses on European dimension and subsurface exploration techniques

Aimed at final year and master s degree civil engineering students, this edition will propose topic areas that will be a useful introductory reference, acting also as a reference guide for engineering offices and technical libraries.
