“Standardizing” Highway Construction

Highway Embankment Construction Procedure

some heavy clay soils of the A6 and A7 types with tar emul­ sions and cutbacks on an experimental subgrade stabilization during the summer of 1937, we found that this type of soil stabilization presents some very different problems from those of soil-aggregate stabilization. Soil-cement stabilization, as described by Mr. Myers, also presents some interesting problems. According to its claims, t...

Contracting Methods for Highway Construction

Transportation construction is a large industry—particularly highway construction, on which more than $50 billion is spent annually. Small improvements can result in significant savings in time and cost, as well as better quality and fewer disputes. In recent years, many innovations have occurred in highway construction. The atmosphere within the industry is highly charged with optimism, uncert...

Schedule Multiple Highway Construction Projects

The scheduling of numerous construction projects considering several factors is an important challenge faced by construction companies, particularly road builders. Road builders need to make decision to identify the best possible schedule to complete multiple constructions while considering multiple factor such as maximizing profit, reducing risk, and resource constraints among many other factors.

Industrial waste in highway construction

Traditionally soil, stone aggregates, sand, bitumen, cement etc. are used for road construction. Natural materials being exhaustible in nature, its quantity is declining gradually. Also, cost of extracting good quality of natural material is increasing. Concerned about this, the scientists are looking for alternative materials for highway construction, and industrial waste product is one such c...
