Using the latest research from the United States, Canada, and Europe, Doré and Zubeck supply all the information needed to make wise decisions in situations where freezing temperatures, unstable soil, precipitation, ice, small populations, and limited funding—common problems when designing roads in cold regions—are complicating factors. Posing specific design and maintenance problems encountered in the field, the authors present the techniques and materials to solve them.
Topics include:
- design methodologies and maintenance techniques,
- key information on material selection,
- calculations for proper structural design,
- strategies for constructing new roads,
- advice in rehabilitating old or damaged surfaces, and
- case studies of problems and their solutions.
Cold Regions Pavement Engineering is a much-needed resource that covers pavement materials and performance, investigation and testing, calculation of engineering parameters, design considerations, mix and pavement design, maintenance and rehabilitation, and pavements on permafrost.
Guy Doré, P.Ing., is professor of civil engineering at Laval University in Quebec and has written many articles, book chapters, and papers on pavements and engineering in cold regions. Hannele K. Zubeck, Ph.D., P.E., has many years experience as an international cold-region engineering consultant and researcher. She teaches civil engineering at the University of Alaska.
