Advances in Transportation Geotechnics

This volume, drawn from the proceedings of a recent international conference held in Nottingham, England, examines the challenges inherent in designing a new infrastructure, often on problematic ground, and the management and maintenance of aging assets in the face of issues such as climate change. Topics covered include slope instability, stabilization, and asset management; construction on soft ground; interaction with structures and geogrid reinforced soil; the effects of climate change and vegetation; highways, pavements and subgrade; railway geotechnics; soil improvement; the characterization and recycling of geomaterials; and unbound aggregate materials as used in pavement construction and drainage.
