Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the research and debate required to construct efficient highways and roads that can withstand the weight and density of present-day traffic. In an era where the country is pouring billions of dollars into road construction and maintenance, the author argues that the lack of research in applicable engineering sciences has led to a waste of financial and natural resources. The author proposes a comprehensive national research program to investigate the physical, mechanical, and economic problems involved in highway construction, to ensure that present and future roads are built to the best possible standards. This book will appeal to highway engineers and policymakers looking to create the best roads at the lowest cost.
