<div class="htmlview paragraph">Stating that asphalt, brick and concrete-slab road-surfaces are the only pavements that have given satisfaction for automobile traffic, the author believes further that thus far the concrete-slab surface is the only one worthy of consideration for such traffic. He discusses the merits and demerits of these surfaces

A construction quality index for highway construction
Construction Management and Economics, 2008Changes in policy regarding the use of contractor‐conducted testing in quality assurance decisions have hit state highway agencies (SHAs) during a time of continuing reduction in agency personnel. These changes have increased the need for quality‐driven contractors.

A Review of Constructibility Barriers and Issues in Highway Construction
Construction Research Congress, 2003The objective of any constructibility program is to identify elements of a project that can be modified to make the project easier to bid and to build. Such a review can help minimize the number and magnitude of change orders, disputes, cost overruns, and delays during construction.

Impacts of Global Climate Change, 2005
The construction of the Alaska Highway has been hailed as a major engineering project of the 20th Century, a century of massive infrastructure development in the United States. The construction was completed in two phases: a pioneer road followed by the construction of an all weather road.

Road construction work comprises a vast range of construction activities, such as civil and underground engineering, tunnel and bridge construction. The shifting of soil, the transport and use of ballast, gravel and stone chips, concrete work, explosions and work with constructional steels (placing of iron, welding) are characteristic of this area of ...

4D visualization of highway construction projects
Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003. IV 2003., 2004Visualization of transportation projects has been shown to be a very effective way of communicating information between interested project parties [Keister, M. et al., (2002)]. In reviewed applications, visualization has been used primarily for communicating information on the geometric design, or as photorealistic representations that place ...

Project Management in Highway Construction
2005Any activity that is undertaken involves, time, resources, and has an intended outcome. Such an activity could be construction of a physical infrastructure such as a highway, a bridge, a building, other forms of infrastructure; and major and minor maintenance works related to such physical infrastructure.

Planning and Scheduling Highway Construction
Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 2004This paper presents a model designed to integrate the planning and scheduling phases of highway construction projects, focusing primarily on the planning aspects. The model automatically generates the work breakdown structure (WBS) and precedence network respecting job logic and stores a list of construction operations typically encountered in highway ...
