Description
This book explores the critical role of transportation infrastructure, particularly rural road connectivity, in driving economic and social development. It examines the challenges and solutions related to rigid pavements for road construction in rural areas, focusing on cost-effective, sustainable alternatives to flexible pavements. The book also addresses the environmental impact of cement production and presents alternative materials to reduce cement usage. Using various design and analytical methods, including finite element analysis (FEA), it provides a comprehensive guide for improving road networks in developing countries, particularly in India, with an emphasis on enhancing rural connectivity and economic growth.
