PRAKTISCHER STRASSENBAU

THE TWO VOLUMES CONTAIN A SURVEY OF MODERN ROAD CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AND WERE ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR THE EDUCATION OF APPRENTICES; THE BOOK HAS HOWEVER DEVELOPED INTO A COMPREHENSIVE WORK ON ROAD CONSTRUCTION PRACTICE IN SWITZERLAND. THE FIRST VOLUME DEALS WITH PRINCIPLES AND DESCRIBES HIGHWAY TYPES, CONSTRUCTION SITES, AND SETTING OUT AND SURVEYING. THE SECOND VOLUME DISCUSSES SUBSOIL AND SUBGRADE, PAVEMENTS, AND THE CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF ROADS. THE AUTHORS COMPARE VARIOUS METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION. AN APPENDIX CONTAINS DETAILS OF EQUIPMENT, SOILS AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.
