Geotechnical Characterization of a Low Volume Traffic Road
, 2021 This paper aims to study an unpaved low volume traffic road (LRV) in the Montesinho Natural Park, Portugal. Because it is a road that gives access to two dams that supply the localities of the region of Bragança, Portugal, in a nature reserve, it should be ensured the valorization of this natural park and also the safety and comfort of those who use it.
