Product Description:
Rogers: Highway Engineering
This book provides an introduction to highway engineering for students
on degree and diploma courses in civil engineering. It moves in a
logical sequence from the planning and economic justification for a
highway, through the geometric design and traffic analysis of highway
links and intersections, to the design and maintenance of both flexible
and rigid pavements.
Existing texts have tended to concentrate purely on highway planning
and analysis, or on pavement design and maintenance aspects of highway
engineering. As a result, the standard has tended to be too advanced
for students studying the subject for the first time. This textbook
covers the basic ground in both areas. It features worked examples and
case studies as an aid to understanding individual topics and aims to
provide the student with a solid, practically based foundation for the
topic of highway engineering, thus providing a gateway to the more
advanced and specialised texts.
