Schoon2nd ed.Reston, Va. ASCE Pressc20001 online resource (xiv, 152 pages) illustrations, mapsDescription based upon print version of record.0-7844-0425-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Factors Affecting Selection of the Highway Route; Design Controls and Guidelines; Application of Geometric Design Principles to Route Design; Example of a Rural Highway Geometric Design; Preliminary Highway Geometric Design Projects; Topographic Map Symbols; Construction of Cross Sections; IndexThis book provides an overall perspective of the various elements that contribute to highway design and explains how they interact to create a basis for the preliminary route selection and design. Projects are followed from the initial provision of a topographic map and specifications through to the investment and user cost estimates of a particular highway. Vertical and horizontal alignment, drainage issues, and potential environmental impacts are also discussed. Structured to complement highway design theory described in existing texts and design guidelines and to supplement these in a typical highway design course, this book may be used in classes for senior undergraduate or graduate students. This volume expands on environmental reporting concerns; presents a discussion of economic cost analysis and its applications; includes an outline of route selection and design methods aided by digital terrain and computerized alignment modeling; and furthers realism of design and evaluation in the classroom. In addition, this book can serve as a supplementary text for a short-course on geometric design for practicing engineers and as a practical resource for transportation and land-use planners.Highway engineeringRoadsDesign and constructionHighway engineering.RoadsDesign and construction.625.7Schoon John G(John George),1937-1822240MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911006817503321Geometric design projects for highways4389118UNINA
