    R Route Sel Lection: Highw Ay Engine Eering/ C Chapter o One

    Uploaded by

    Dakheel maleko
    Route selection for highway engineering involves considering several key factors: [1] unstable ground conditions, steep slopes, water crossings; [2] topography, elevations and contours; [3] environmental impacts. The process includes: [1] identifying feasible routes on maps and photos; [2] reconnaissance surveys; [3] route maps and cost studies; [4] comparing and selecting the best route. Bridge crossings aim for right angles, narrow necks, and favorable foundations. Higher design levels have higher costs but allow for higher speeds via bridges, tunnels, and graded roads, while lower design follows contours at lower construction but higher user costs.
