This is the first ever text-cum-reference book in India on “Bituminous Road Construction”. It includes references to the codes and specifications of the Indian Roads Congress and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), besides the international standards such as ASTM and AASHTO. This book provides a thorough knowledge of bituminous road construction such as bitumen; aggregate; mix design; special mixes such as stone matrix asphalt and warm mix asphalt; structural design of flexible pavements; asphalt production and construction; distresses in asphalt pavements; maintenance and rehabilitation of asphalt pavements including recycling; and interesting investigations of premature failure of asphalt pavements across the world. It includes a large number of photographs for easy comprehension of the subject matter. This book has been designed to serve as a text for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Civil Engineering for the courses on: Highway Materials including Testing Laboratory; Asphalt Mix Design; Highway Construction and Maintenance; Highway Pavement Failures; and Design of Flexible Pavements. Cutting-edge technology on bituminous road constructions, included in the book, helps M.Tech and Ph.D. students in conducting research in this field. Since over 95% of highways have bituminous surface, this book is also an ideal reference for thousands of practicing highway engineers who are engaged in the most ambitious highway construction programme ever in India. Highlights of the Second Edition: • Incorporates cutting-edge technology on the topics covered • Includes new sections on bitumen chemistry; durability of bitumen; Balanced Mix Design (BMD); asphalt mix characterization; perpetual pavements; QC/QA in India; and rehabilitation of distressed concrete pavements with bituminous overlays; and life cycle costs of bituminous versus concrete pavements. TARGET AUDIENCE • B.Tech Civil Engineering • M.Tech Highway Education • Practicing Highway Engineer

This chapter aims to understand and analyze the failure mechanism of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (SFRC). Fiberreinforced Concrete (FRC) [ACI 116, 2000], Plain concrete fails in a brittle manner at the occurrence of cracking. Ductile fibers in FRC continue to carry stresses well beyond cracking, thus maintaining the structural integrity. The types of fibers using in FRC are Metallic (high-modulus) fibers and Nonmetallic (low-modulus). The metallic fibers to improve the flexural toughness and ductility of concrete for example: Steel, Carbon, and Glass. The Non-metallic (low-modulus) fibers enhance the fresh concrete properties and reduces the plastic-shrinkage cracking. Polypropylene, Cellulose, Nylon, Polyester. The steel fiber adding in to the concrete is called as steel Fiber Reinforced (SFRC) concrete. The SFRC is widely used in structure where fibre reinforcement is not essential for integrity and safety. For example: slabs on grade, rock slope stabilization and repair. The SFRC as substitutes of the shear reinforcement in structures/members and these concepts to cover in many building codes

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a matter of great concern in the urban areas of developing countries. The municipal authorities who are responsible for managing municipal solid waste are unable to discharge their obligations effectively because they lack the in-house capacity to handle the complexities of the process. It is heartening to see that the World Bank has prepared this book covering all important aspects of municipal SWM in great depth. The book covers very lucidly the present scenario of SWM in urban areas, the system deficiencies that exist, and the steps that need to be taken to correct SWM practices in compliance with Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 ratified by the Government of India. The book shares examples of best practices adopted in various parts of the country and abroad, and very appropriately covers the institutional, financial, social, and legal aspects of solid waste management, which are essential for sustainability of the system. It provides a good insight on how to involve the community, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to help improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service, and shows how contracting mechanisms can be used to involve the private sector in SWM services. This book will be a very useful tool for city managers and various stakeholders who deal with municipal solid waste management in the design and execution of appropriate and cost-effective systems.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
