CONTENIDO: Highways is a comprehensive textbook on all aspects of road engineering and the new edition will cover the latest developments in the field, building on the fourth edition which is still viewed as the leading title in highway engineering, despite now being over ten years old.

Originally published 1974, this book is the leading authority on the subject. Highways, 5th edition covers road location and plans, roadwork materials, surface and subsurface moisture control, pavement design and construction, thickness design of bituminous and concrete pavements, and road maintenance and rehabilitation.
