The repair, renovation and replacement of highway infrastructure, along with the provision of new highways, are core elements of civil engineering, so the book covers both theory and practice in sufficient depth to provide a solid grounding to students of civil engineering and trainee practitioners. By making frequent reference to the Department for Transports Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, Highway Engineering moves in a logical sequence from the planning and economic justification for a highway, through the geometric design and traffic analysis of highway links and intersections, to the design and maintenance of both flexible and rigid pavements. It also places the provision of roads and motorways in context by introducing the economic, political, social and administrative dimensions of the subject, along with introducing the important topic of sustainability in transport engineering. Primarily a text for undergraduate students of civil engineering, the third edition of Highway Engineering covers topics that will also be of interest to surveyors and transport planners.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Martin Rogers</strong> BE, MEngSc, PhD, BA(Public Ad), CEng, MICE, MRTPI, Chartered Engineer and Chartered Town Planner, has worked in private practice as well as in local authorities, and was a member of the Dublin Transport Initiative Study Team that devised the first integrated transportation plan for the Dublin city region. He joined the permanent staff at the Dublin Institute of Technology in 1993, was Assistant Head of School with responsibility for first year engineering from 2010 to 2014, and is currently a Senior Lecturer in the School of Civil and Structural Engineering. <p><strong>Bernard Enright</strong> BE, MSc, PhD originally qualified as a civil engineer and worked in information technology in engineering and in the financial markets for 25 years. He joined the School of Civil and Structural Engineering at Dublin Institute of Technology as a Lecturer in Civil Engineering in 2003, where he chairs the Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree programme in Civil Engineering. He completed his PhD on the subject of traffic loading of highway bridges in 2010, and has published extensively on this and related topics.
