Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development (English Edition)
A road surface (British English) or pavement (North American English) is the durable surface material laid down on an area intended to sustain vehicular or foot traffic, such as a road or walkway. In the past, gravel road surfaces, macadam , hoggin , cobblestone and granite setts were extensively used, but these have mostly been replaced by ...
Journal of Transportation Engineering was a journal published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Prior to 1968, it was known as Journal of the Highway Division, and from 1968 to 1982 it was known as the Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, taking the current name in 1983. In 2017 it split into
A pavement management system (PMS) is a planning tool used to aid pavement management decisions. PMS software programs model future pavement deterioration due to traffic and weather, and recommend maintenance and repairs to the road's pavement based on the type and age of the pavement and various measures of existing pavement quality.
This book covers the functional design of roads and highways including such things as the layout of intersections, horizontal curves, and vertical curves. Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing. AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. This manual is the base bridge design manual that all DOTs ...
The journal is abstracted and indexed in Scopus and the Science Citation Index Expanded. According to the Journal Citation Reports, its 2013 impact factor is 0.746, ranking it 183rd out of 251 journals in the category "Materials Science, Multidisciplinary". [2]
Highway engineering (also known as roadway engineering and street engineering) is a professional engineering discipline branching from the civil engineering subdiscipline of transportation engineering that involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of roads, highways, streets, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and effective transportation of people and goods.
If not removed, this can cause safety and environmental problems such as cracked windshields, chipped paint, loss-of-control crashes (especially for motorcyclists, bicyclists and small trucks), and deposition of foreign material into drainage courses. Therefore, it is very important to sweep the road after the emulsion sets.
