Concrete Roads: PQC, Methods of Construction and How it is Made

Concrete Roads: PQC, Methods of Construction and How it is Made! Introduction to Concrete Roads: Concrete roads fall under the category of high quality/superior type of roads built with cement concrete. These pavements may or may not be provided with sub-base/base courses, and they may be constructed directly over a well-compacted soil subgrade. They derive their strength to support the [...]

Maintenance and Repair of Highways | Highway Engineering

In this article we will discuss about how to maintain roads. Maintenance of Highway: A well-constructed highway that is designed for a particular category would need minimum maintenance. The nature and extent of maintenance needed would depend on the degree of deterioration of the pavement, the most common road characteristic used to assess this being the 'roughness'. It is generally [...]
