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.
