Preface to Highway Engineering PDF

Highway engineering is the time period that changed the normal time period street engineering used prior to now, after the introduction of trendy highways.

Highway engineering is an unlimited topic that entails planning, design, development, upkeep and administration of roads, bridges and tunnels for the secure and efficient transportation of individuals and items.

This e-book concentrates on design, development, upkeep and administration of pavements for roads/highways.

It additionally contains pavement supplies since they’re an integral half of pavements.

It has been written for graduates, postgraduates in addition to practising engineers and laboratory employees and incorporates the writer’s 30 years of involvement in instructing, researching and practising the topic of freeway engineering.

Developments in pavement supplies, design, development, upkeep and pavement administration and the globalisation of the market make it crucial for the freeway engineer to bear in mind of the methods and requirements utilized globally.

One of the targets of the e-book is to offer built-in data on the abovementioned disciplines of freeway engineering. One other goal is to incorporate in a single e-book each European and American requirements and practices (CEN EN, ASTM, AASHTO and Asphalt Institute).

This may end in a extra helpful reference textbook to pavement engineering programs taught in European and American academic institutions.

One other goal of this e-book is to offer a reference textbook to practising pavement engineers and supplies testing laboratory employees, working in nations using European or American requirements and methods.

Aside from data concerning European and American practices, the reader may discover some particular data on practices employed in nations resembling the UK, France and Greece, in addition to Australia.

As well as, this e-book additionally goals to offer built-in data associated to pavement supplies (soil, aggregates, bitumen, asphalts and reclaimed materials),

materials testing for acceptability and high quality assurance, asphalt combine design, versatile and inflexible pavement design, development,

upkeep and strengthening procedures, high quality management of manufacturing and acceptance of asphalts, pavement analysis, asphalt vegetation and pavement recycling.

It additionally covers the essential ideas of pavement administration. The e-book in its 18 chapters incorporates many tables, graphs,

charts and images to help the reader in studying and understanding the topic of pavement engineering and supplies.

It additionally incorporates an awesome quantity of references, a worthwhile device to assist the reader search extra data and improve his or her information.

The quick description of all pavement materials testing procedures, required by European and American requirements,

in addition to pavement design and upkeep procedures lined, doesn’t, by any means, substitute or change the requirements and procedures developed by the assorted organisations and companies.

The reader is suggested to all the time seek the advice of the requirements or manuals developed when engaged in testing, design, development or upkeep works.

It’s hoped that this textbook is not going to solely contribute to the understanding of the huge and difficult topic of pavement engineering but additionally allow a more practical and economical design,

development and upkeep of pavements by using up to date requirements, practices and methods.
