Highway Engineering

Highway Engineering
By S.K. Khanna and C.E.G. Justo

A cornerstone Indian text covering the full lifecycle of highway design and construction — from initial planning and surveying through geometric design, pavement engineering, traffic engineering, and on to maintenance and rehabilitation. Its long-standing popularity comes from clear explanations, practical worked examples, and thorough treatment of fundamentals, blending theory with real-world application in a way that has kept it relevant across generations of civil engineering students and practicing engineers alike.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Highway development and planning
• Highway alignment and engineering surveys
• Highway geometric design (cross-sections, sight distance, horizontal/vertical alignment)
• Traffic engineering and traffic characteristics
• Design of intersections and parking facilities
• Highway materials (subgrade soil, aggregates, bituminous materials)
• Pavement design (flexible and rigid pavements)
• Highway construction and maintenance
• Highway drainage
• Traffic planning and administration

Key features:

• Covers the complete highway project lifecycle in one volume
• Strong balance of theoretical principles and practical, applied examples
• Long-established standard reference in Indian civil engineering curricula
• Comprehensive treatment of both geometric and pavement design
• Widely used across successive editions with input from later co-authors

Perfect for:

• Civil engineering undergraduates studying transportation/highway engineering
• Students specializing in pavement design or traffic engineering
• Practicing engineers working on road design and construction projects
• Faculty teaching highway or transportation engineering courses
