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. 606 $aHighway engineering 606 $aRoads$xDesign and construction 615 0$aHighway engineering. 615 0$aRoads$xDesign and construction. 676 $a625.7 700 $aSchoon$b John G$g(John George),$f1937-$01822240 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006817503321 996 $aGeometric design projects for highways$94389118 997 $aUNINA
