Geotechnical Lessons Learnt—Building and Transport Infrastructure Projects
Author: Hadi KhabbazPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9819911214
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
This book contains accepted papers submitted and peer-reviewed for the 25th Annual Symposium organised by the Sydney Chapter of the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS). The objective is to bring together the key stakeholders of the Australian geological and geotechnical community. It showcases state-of-the-art practices, new research findings, and case histories that demonstrate geotechnical advances and challenges in building and transport infrastructure. It focuses on geotechnical aspects of smart solutions and improvements in geotechnical approaches for transport infrastructure projects, advances in tunnel design and construction, and geotechnical challenges in design and construction – case histories and lessons learnt. This volume will be a useful guide to those in academia and industry working in the fields of geotechnical engineering.
Rural Road Engineering in Developing Countries
Author: Jasper CookPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429529732
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Rural Road Engineering in Developing Countries provides a comprehensive coverage of the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of rural roads in developing countries and emerging nations. It covers a wide range of technical and non-technical problems that may confront road engineers working in the developing world, focusing on rural roads which provide important links from villages and farms to markets and offer the public access to health, education, and other services essential for sustainable development. Most textbooks on road engineering are based on experience in industrialised countries with temperate climates or deal only with specific issues, with many aspects of the design and construction of roads in developing regions stemming from inappropriate research undertaken in Europe and the USA. These approaches are frequently unsuitable and unsustainable for rural road network environments, particularly in low to middle income countries. This book takes on board a more recent research and application focus on rural roads, integrating it for a broad range of readers to access current information on good practice for sustainable road engineering in developing countries. The book particularly suits transportation engineers, development professionals, and graduate students in civil engineering.
