Cold Regions Pavement Engineering helps ensure that road quality is not compromised by cold temperatures and other environmental factors.
helps ensure that road quality is not compromised by cold temperatures and other environmental factors.Using the latest research from the United States, Canada, and Europe, the authors supply all the information needed to make wise decisions in situations where freezing temperatures, unstable soil, precipitation, ice, and small populations are complicating factors, along with limited funding-a common problem when designing roads in cold regions. Posing specific design and maintenance problems encountered in the field, the authors present the techniques and materials to solve them.
