| Review: | This text for civil engineering students may also be of interest to surveyors and transport planners. It covers the theory and practice of highway engineering, setting out the procedures and techniques that are required for the planning, designing and construction of a highway installation. It places these in context by introducing the economic, political and social and administrative aspects of the subject. There are chapters on: the transport planning process; forecasting future traffic flows; scheme appraisal for highway projects; basic elements of highway traffic analysis; determining the capacity of a highway; the design of highway intersections; geometric alignment and design; highway pavement materials and design; structural design of pavement thickness; pavement maintenance; and the highway engineer and the development process. |
