Terrain Classification for Road Design

open access: yesJournal of the Korean Society of Road Engineers, 2011
Road design needs to ensure the economic justification and the preservation of nature by adapting road alignment to the natural terrain. Though current road design guideline only defines a flat and a mountainous terrain, classification including rolling terrain should be needed while considering the fact that about 25.8% of our land can be classified ...
