Cold Regions Pavement Engineering

Cold Regions Pavement Engineering is the first book dedicated solely to this important topic, and helps to ensure that road quality is not compromised by cold temperatures and other environmental factors such as unstable soil, precipitation, ice, and small populations. The book contains a wealth of information and includes the latest research from the United States, Canada, and Europe. The book also talks about many of the problems inherent when designing roads in cold regions, and poses specific design and maintenance problems encountered in the field. 432pp.
