Road construction is far more than laying asphalt—it is a disciplined blend of engineering science, material behavior, environmental understanding, and on-site craftsmanship. The Art and Science of Road Construction is a comprehensive guidebook that explains how durable, safe, and sustainable roads are planned, designed, built, and maintained.
This book takes readers step by step through the complete lifecycle of a road—from subgrade preparation and pavement design to construction techniques, quality control, and future-ready innovations. Written in clear, practical language, it bridges the gap between academic theory and real-world site execution.
Inside this guidebook, you will learn:
-
Fundamental principles of road and highway engineering
-
Soil mechanics, pavement materials, and mix design explained simply
-
Flexible and rigid pavement construction methods
-
Role of machinery, equipment, and site management
-
Common road failures such as potholes, rutting, and cracking—and how to prevent them
-
Quality control tests, safety practices, and construction standards
-
Sustainable, green, and climate-resilient road technologies
-
Emerging trends like smart roads, recycling, and modern materials
Designed for civil engineering students, diploma holders, site engineers, contractors, supervisors, and competitive exam aspirants, this book serves both as a learning resource and a practical field reference.
Whether you are preparing for professional exams, managing infrastructure projects, or simply want to understand the science beneath every road you travel, this guidebook equips you with knowledge that lasts as long as a well-built road.
