Highway Engineering- Introduction
Introduction Of Transportation, Different Modes of Transportation: Railways Transportation, Water Transportation, Air Transportation, Road Transportation. Highway, Express Highway, Characteristics of Road Transport, Importance of Roads in India
Development of Road: 1. Roman Road, 2. Tesaguet Construction, 3. Telford Construction, 4. Macadam Road.
Development of Roads In India: Mr. Jayakar Committee, Comparison Between Various Road Development Plans
Classification of Road: 1. Based on the duration of their use- All Weather Road, Fair Weather Road. 2. Based on traffic volume- Light Traffic Roads, Medium Traffic Roads, High Traffic Roads. 3. Based on location and function- National Highways (NH), State Highways (SH), Major District Roads (MDR), Other District Roads (ODR), Village Road (VR). Types of Road Patterns
Engineering Surveys For Highway Alignment: MAP Study, Reconnaissance, Preliminary Survey, Detailed Survey
