It covers a wide range of technical and non-technical problems that may confront road engineers working in the developing world, focusing on rural roads which provide important links from villages and farms to markets and offer the public access to health, education, and other services essential for sustainable development. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost textbooks on road engineering are based on experience in industrialised countries with temperate climates or deal only with specific issues, with many aspects of the design and construction of roads in developing regions stemming from inappropriate research undertaken in Europe and the USA. These approaches are frequently unsuitable and unsustainable for rural road network environments, particularly in low to middle income countries. This book takes on board a more recent research and application focus on rural roads, integrating it for a broad range of readers to access current information on good practice for sustainable road engineering in developing countries. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book particularly suits transportation engineers, development professionals, and graduate students in civil engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jasper Cook, Robert Christopher Petts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1482259702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781482259704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d","brand":"Jasper Cook","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44522462675199,"sku":"9781482259704","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_862c992e-662d-4cef-8dee-db31edf0ea1c.jpg?v=1700157381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rural-road-engineering-in-developing-jasper-cook-9781482259704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
