ABOUT THE BOOK

Highway Engineering written by Martin Rogers (Department of Civil and Structural Engineering Dublin Institute of Technology Ireland ) is published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd

Highway Engineering is intended as a text for undergraduate students on degree and diploma courses in civil engineering. It does, however, touch on topics which may be of interest to surveyors and transport planners. The book does not see itself as a substitute for courses in these subject areas, rather it demonstrates their relevance to highway engineering.

The aim of the text is to cover the basic theory and practice in suf?cient depth to promote basic understanding while also ensuring as wide a coverage as possible of all topics deemed essential to students and trainee practitioners. The text seeks to place the topic in context by introducing the economic, political, social and administrative dimensions of the subject. In line with its main task, it covers central topics such as geometric, junction and pavement design while ensuring an adequate grasp of theoretical concepts such as traf?c analysis and economic appraisal.

The book pays frequent reference to the Department of Transport�s Design Manual for Roads and Bridges and moves in a logical sequence from the planning and economic justi?cation for a highway,through the geometric design and traf?c analysis of highway links and intersections, to the design and maintenance of both ?exible and rigid pavements.
