In road projects, the pavement construction is very expensive and, therefore, the design and subsequent construction must make a proper balance between the cost and the sustainability. During the operation and maintenance period, the costs for routine maintenance (as and when pavement damage occurs) are to be kept as low as possible as there is less control towards cost of the periodic maintenance (mandatory at a contractual interval, normally 5 years). The reduction in cost for routine maintenance will relieve the project authorities from unexpected expenditures. This comprehensive text on Pavement Engineering is up-to-date with industry standards and best practices and offers an exhaustive coverage on design, construction and maintenance of pavements. The book has followed AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, 1993, besides meeting latest code provisions and pavement design methods recommended by Indian Roads Congress (IRC) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This book has all standard topics on the subject, but differs from all other books in respect of following contents: • Pavement Engineering and Highway Geometrics • Design of Flexible Bituminous/Asphalt Pavement • Design of Rigid Concrete Pavement • Construction of Flexible Bituminous/Asphalt Pavement • Construction of Rigid Concrete Pavement • Maintenance of Flexible Bituminous/Asphalt Pavement • Maintenance of Rigid Concrete Pavement • Maintenance of other Road, Drainage and Bridge features This book refers to the web uploaded volume ‘User’s Guide for Computer Applications’ at web site www.roadbridgedesign.com to help readers learn various computer applications in pavement engineering. This book is designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Civil Engineering, Highway Engineering and Traffic and Transportation Engineering. TARGET AUDIENCE • BE/B.Tech, ME/MS/M.Tech (Civil Engineering and Transportation/ Highway Engineering) • Professionals of Highway/Road Construction Industry
Computer Aided Highway Engineering is aimed at developing professional knowledge in the field of highway engineering with adequate skills in planning, designing and implementation of the highway project with an exposure of hands on training of computer software in designing the worldwide road infrastructures. It discusses Digital Terrain Model (DTM) using satellite data including highway geometric, pavement and tunnel design, supported by relevant tutorials. Quantity estimation, cost estimation and production of various types of construction drawings are described in detail with theory and tutorials backed by real project data. Recognizes the role of information and computer technology in various aspects of highway design. Reviews different tasks for feasibility studies and DPR with software applications. Explores topographic survey, Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and highway geometrics and, pavement and drainage design. Discusses project estimations for various revisions of the engineering work. Includes HEADS Pro along with chapter wise tutorials containing design and field data, tutorial guides and various tutorial videos. This volume is aimed at Professionals in Civil Engineering, Highway Engineering, Transport Planning and Town Planning and Traffic Engineering.
“He Lives Forever” by author Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami is a deeply moving biography that celebrates the life and enduring legacy of Srila Prabhupada, the visionary spiritual leader who introduced the world to the teachings of the Hare Krishna movement. Through compelling storytelling and personal insights, the book offers a captivating journey into Prabhupada’s profound wisdom, tireless dedication, and unwavering devotion, emphasizing how his teachings continue to inspire and transform lives to this day.
...I pray that You will stay by me and protect me and save me. " The best way for me to assure myself of Your company and protection is to chant Your names. I ask You to please remind me to regularly chant and to do so in a humble state of mind, keeping myself lower than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, and ready to offer all respect to others without expection any honor for myself. "--Page 4 of cover.
“The Spiritual Uproar by Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami maharaj, compiled by Hg Sarvasakshi Prabhu. One of Srila Prabhupäda’s most dear disciple Srila Gopala Krishna Goswami Maharaja, who following in his footsteps and fulfilling Srila Prabhupäda’s desire, pushed the missionary activities of ISKCON all around the world and awakened millions of sleeping souls from the sleep of ignorance or material illusion. It’s our great fortune to present his words in the form of a book. So, we compiled this book “The Spiritual Uproar” from his discourses which he delivered while travelling in different parts of the world. “
