Geometric design projects for highways an introduction
Introduces the geometric design of rural highways with an emphasis on basic specifications, approaches to preliminary route selection, alignment, drainage, cost, and environmental concerns. The second edition is based on metric units, expands on environmental reporting concerns, and adds computerize...
