Previous ed.: London: Arnold, 1998.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Road location -- Ground investigations -- Plans, specifications and contracts -- Soils for roadworks -- Materials used in road pavements -- Soil-stabilised pavements -- Surface drainage for roads -- Sub-surface moisture control for road pavements -- Introduction to pavement design -- Earthworks and unbound bases for pavements -- Premixed bituminous-bound courses: Standard materials -- Design and construction of hot-mix bituminous surfacings and roadbases -- Concrete pavement construction -- Current British design practice in relation to bituminous and concrete pavements -- Analytical design of flexible pavements -- Analysis of Stresses in Rigid Concrete Slabs -- Basic road maintenance operations -- Wet Skid Resistance -- Design and usage of surface treatments -- Structural maintenance of roads.
'Highways' is a comprehensive textbook on all aspects of road engineering. This new edition, written by a team of acknowledged experts in the field, teams up with 'Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering' to become a worthy successor to O'Flaherty's classic 'Highway Engineering' set. This fourth edition covers road location and plans, roadwork materials, surface and subsurface moisture control, pavement design and construction, thickness design of bituminous and concrete pavements and road maintenance and rehabilitation. The content has been expanded and thoroughly updated to take into account new developments in the subject, making it essential reading for students of civil engineering. comprehensive coverage including less well-covered subjects such as maintenance contributions from both academic and professional engineers.
