Highways provide the arteries of modern society. The interaction
of road, rail and other transport infrastructure with the ground is
unusually intimate, and thus needs to be well-understood to provide
economic and reliable infrastructure for society. Challenges
include not only the design of new infrastructure (often on
problematic ground), but increasingly the management and
maintenance of aging assets in the face of issues such as climate
change.
This book is the written record of the first International
Conference on Transportation Geotechnics held under the auspices of
the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical
Engineering, held in Nottingham, UK, in 2008. It comprises about
100 papers from a global selection of researchers and practitioners
on:
? Slope instability, stabilisation, and asset management;
? Construction on soft ground;
? Interaction with structures and geogrid reinforced soil;
? Effect of climate change and vegetation;
? Highways, pavements and subgrade;
? Railway geotechnics;
? Soil improvement;
? Characterisation and recycling of geomaterials.
A further part of this collection contains papers on unbound
aggregate materials as used in pavement construction and drainage.
They formed the ?Unbound Aggregates in Roads (UNBAR7)? theme of the
conference which followed on from the previous symposia of that
title, also held in Nottingham, UK, most recently in 2004. The
volume will be of interest to professionals and academics in
geotechnical, highway, railway and general civil engineering.
