DESIGN OF SWISS ROADS AGAINST FROST ACTION

THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THE TOPOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE OF SWITZERLAND IN RELATION TO ROAD DESIGN. DEVELOPMENT IN HIGHWAY TECHNOLOGY, PARTICULARLY DURING THE LAST 20 YEARS, IS TRACED. METHODS FOR ASSESSING ROAD STABILITY ON THE BASIS OF SOIL TYPE, GROUND WATER CONDITIONS, AND FROST PENETRATION ARE DISCUSSED. EMPIRICAL CURVES FOR PAVEMENT DESIGN ARE SHOWN. /AUTHOR/
