Tefera, Derib. "A history of road construction and its socio-economic impact in East Gojjam,1941-2005." Ethiopian Renaissance Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities 9, no. 2 (2023): 1–17. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/erjssh.v9i2.1.
Full textAbstract:
In Ethiopia, infrastructure development remains one of the largely neglected areas of historical research. This paper, therefore, surveys the history of road building and its socio-economic impact in East Gojjam from 1941 to 2005. To this end, archival documents, oral information and secondary sources were consulted. The findings show that the post-liberation imperial period saw no significant development on the opening of new routes. Road construction reawakened during the military regime. It witnessed promising road networks that encompassed highway, feeder and rural roads. In contrast, road construction remained sluggish during the reign of the Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) under discussion. The transitional government lifetime (1991-1995) was in particular a gloomy period. The failure of successive governments in expanding the road network emanated from economic, political, policy and related issues. Despite this, the impact of the nascent road network that extended all through the three regimes is clearly observable from the increasingly socio-economic interaction that appeared in the region and beyond.

Full textAbstract:
The object of the study is the history of the formation of the federal highway construction system in the United States before the First World War. The subject of the study is the economic, social and political prerequisites for the emergence of the idea of federal financing of road construction. The article examines the socio-political struggle that unfolded in American society at the beginning of the XX century on the need for federal participation in the creation of a highway network. The most important link in the Government's road policy was the creation of a system of federal agencies dealing with road construction problems. The study of this issue allows us to trace the evolution of the approaches of the public and politicians in solving the problem of the separation of powers of the states and the federal government in the field of road construction. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the issue of federal funding is considered in the context of traditional discussions about the separation of powers of the states and the federal government, as well as the problems of strategic planning. The authors' attention is focused on the fact that previously the allocation of money for the construction of roads from federal funds was considered an unacceptable measure that violates the constitutional autonomy of the states. But strategic problems demanded a new look at this feature of the US state structure. The results of the study allow us to conclude that the Federal Road Assistance Act of 1916 meant recognition of the need for federal regulation of road construction and became an important precedent that opened up the possibility of creating a nationwide road network in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The construction of sea toll roads is one of the manifestations of President Jokowi’s superior program for strengthening Indonesia’s identity as a maritime country and to develop Indonesia as a whole from west to east. The necessity for sea toll road construction aims to improve the distribution of goods and trade commodities, particularly for the purpose of balancing the economic gap between the western and eastern regions of Indonesia. On the other hand, the construction of sea toll roads could possibly have an impact on archaeological objects, especially the remains of historic shipwrecks that have sunk and spread in several Indonesian territorial waters. Moreover, some of these remains are located on or adjacent to sea lane paths which will indirectly be affected by the deepening of the program in the context of the sea toll road construction. This paper aims to disseminate information about the tangible proofs of Indonesian cultural richness and long maritime history that have not been fully revealed and are threatened by potential damage and destruction if no necessary action is taken. Most importantly, this paper attempts to propose a strategy for constructing sea toll roads by taking into account the use and preservation of potential historical shipwreck remains which are still scattered in several territorial waters of Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, no academic work examines the history of the legality of roads in Chile during its independent existence as a sovereign country. Addressing this gap in the literature, this paper focuses specially on the period from 1842 to 1969, when different actors articulated a set of guiding ideas about the duties of the state and the legal powers of the administrative authority in terms of planning, construction and management of road infrastructure that would allow connectivity between population centers and across regions, according to the ideas and resources available at their historical time. This historical overview of Chilean “road law” is done in the light of insights and questions of contemporary intellectual history and institutional history. In this regard, it is argued that the evolution of road infrastructure norms and institutions during the period under study can be divided into three historical regimes, based on their fundamental legislative milestones, guiding ideas, institutional settings, and strategies of state action: from 1842 to 1887, a period of a decentralized “minimal road state” with precarious roads characterized by both material and juridical uncertainty; from 1887 to 1920, the emergence of a “proto-developmentalist road state” intent on strengthening its grip on the nationwide road infrastructure; and from 1920 to 1969, a period of a “techno-developmentalist road state” that created a nationwide paved road network for the new technology of mobile vehicles.

Full textAbstract:
This article follows the debate on the implementation of the road cess in late nineteenth-century Bengal. To understand how ‘cess’ was defined, it enters the discussion on the problematic category of the ‘local’. The debate in the official circles mainly addressed two questions: whether ‘cess’ was a legal tax or not, and whether cess should be a local tax or a centralized one. The thematic division of the article coincides with the chronology of the road cess in India. The Bengal District Road Cess Act was passed in 1871. The debate on the appropriate incidence of the tax—whether its burden was to be borne by travellers on these roads, or by landholders for the construction of the roads—had intensified by the 1850s. Decades earlier, in the 1810s, the revenue officers of Bengal set out to inquire into the probable existence of a road tax in Shahabad district of Bihar. This article will trace the protracted stages of the history of the road cess in India from the 1780s to 1900, traversing through the theoretical debates on the Permanent Settlement and the practical experiences of cess collection in various districts.

Abstract The construction of toll roads in Klaten Regency supports community connectivity in increasing economic growth and accessibility to tourist areas around the southern part of Java Island. The location of this study is in Polanharjo District, Klaten Regency. The study area has geological conditions, sandy volcanic ash, and shallow groundwater levels and is accompanied by a history of earthquakes that have occurred greater than Mw. 5.0. These three things are triggers for liquefaction. This study discusses the stability analysis of toll road embankments at the STA. 10+724 on the construction of the Solo - Yogyakarta - YIA Kulon Progo Toll Road due to the potential for liquefaction reaching 14 meters. The road embankment construction is placed on the ground surface, which has the potential for liquefaction with a height of up to 5 meters. Calculate the safety factor using the numerical simulation finite element (Plaxis v.8.2 software) with static and pseudostatic analysis. Numerical calculations show that the stability analysis of toll road embankments placed on the ground with the liquefaction potential is still safe for construction with a safety factor on the static analysis (SF: 1.989 > 1.5) and pseudostatic analysis (SF: 1.912 > 1.1).

Full textAbstract:
The traffic on Jalan Panjang Jiwo Permai before the construction of the hospital was quite heavy due to obstacles from cars leading to the Ubaya University parking lot, these obstacles will continue to increase because the road is a commercial area. In the commercial area of the road there are many shop houses and schools around the road which create big obstacles during school or work hours and when going home. The construction of the Ubaya Hospital has added to the traffic obstacles on the road because many trucks of construction materials will frequently cross the road. So it is necessary to carry out an analysis of the performance evaluation of the road sections due to the development to determine the speed value for the comfort of road users. This study uses the 1997 MKJI method as the basis for the analysis of road evaluation calculations. In this analysis, the researcher obtains the components of the calculation by conducting field surveys directly on weekdays and holidays. The results obtained from this study were that before the construction of road users used a speed of 48 km/hour, then during construction there was a decrease in speed of 43 km/hour by road users which caused inconvenience to road users and reduced the quality of workers' time due to traffic barriers.

<em>The object of research is the technology of road surface construction using alternative materials and the possibility of introducing automated systems to increase productivity. The main hypothesis of the study lies in the found alternative material, with the help of which it is possible to reduce the cost of road construction and increase the quality and service life. To reduce the cost of roads, it is necessary to create new construction technologies using innovative or alternative materials, use the latest mechanisms and introduce automated and robotic systems. This can be achieved if to carefully study the technology of the construction process device. One of the materials of the road surface is crushed stone, gravel and sand. Let’s consider as one of the alternative options for mining waste – crushed slag. When determining the main physical and mechanical properties of crushed slag, the standard method for testing crushed stone in stationary laboratory conditions was used. In the course of the study, the methods of system analysis and generalization were used, as well as the method of material testing. The authors of the work analyzed the technological processes of road construction and proposed a material based on the test results – crushed slag from a ferroalloy plant. During the tests, it was confirmed that the material is an alternative quarry crushed stone. Ferroalloy crushed stone has the same field of application, strength, density, frost resistance, but the cost is an order of magnitude less than a ton, creates an economic effect of 31.93 USD per ton. This makes it possible to reduce the cost of the road surface and ensures the quality that meets the regulatory requirements, and the production of modern technologies will reduce the time standard at some construction sites.</em> <em>When testing crushed slag, the results obtained confirm that this material meets all the requirements and may well replace granite crushed stone in the construction of roads for various purposes. Such material can be used not only in Ukraine, but also in countries with similar requirements for the composition of the roadway.</em>

Abstract Road Construction which comes under Highway Engineering is an important area in Transportation Engineering, which is a major branch of Civil Engineering. Roads are extremely important for inland transportation and are valuable mode of transportation in the case of landlocked regions. Even though roads and waterways were popular modes of transportation from ancient times, but roads were way safer in comparison to the latter. In the recorded history, during the Roman era, roads were focused and they were developed through innovative designs and methods according to that era. Before Roman era, roads were found to be un-metalled ones and it used to become troublesome to use them especially during rainy season. The Romans were able to overcome this problem and made a breakthrough during that era. However, this was just the beginning of innovations in designs, methods and materials to construct roads over time. In the 21st century, the roads are highly strong and durable but with the current technologies, more innovations can be done in terms of materials and technologies to improve them further in the future. Of course, airways has also come into picture as a fast mode of transportation but roads are way cheaper mode of transportation in comparison to the former. In this paper, some possible innovations that can be applied in the construction of roads will be highlighted. This includes Self-Healing Concrete, Prefabricated Plastic Roads, Recycled Plastic Roads as well as Solar Roads, which will be briefly discussed in the paper. Their comparison to the conventional roads will be done to understand their utility. Some graphical analysis is also performed on the basis of the data collected from different sources in this paper.

Introduction. Road culverts made of metal corrugated structures despite of more than a hundred years of application history, in Ukraine they are a fairly new type of construction and are widely used in transport construction as an alternative to traditional steel or concrete bridge structures. The well-known advantages that justify the choice of such a solution are mainly a short term and relatively low cost of construction, construction provided that the appropriate technological regime is followed and does not cause any particular problems. However, the modern process of design and construction of road culverts from metal corrugated structures is imperfect and is constantly being improved. Therefore, there is a need to conduct an analysis conditions of operation and features of the operation of road culverts from the metal corrugated structures with the determination of approaches to improving design and construction to further increase the durability of the structure as a whole. Problems. From the literature analysis, it was established that road culverts are in difficult operating conditions, which causes their premature destruction. Goal. It consists in the analysis of operating experience and features of the operation of culverts made of metal corrugated structures on highways with the installation of measures to increase durability.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the ecological impacts arising from road networks and the potential ameliorating effects of roadside habitat in a highly modified landscape. A U.K. focus has been adopted to illustrate the effects of roads in a landscape with a long history of land use and intensive land management where the impacts and the potential for improvement are considerable. The impacts of roads in the ecological landscape include habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation. These interrupt and modify natural processes altering community structures and in the longer term, population dynamics. The large number of fauna fatalities each year from road traffic accidents is also of concern. Road verges can however also provide habitat opportunities and restore connectivity in an otherwise fragmented landscape offering potential to offset some of the adverse impacts of the existing road network. This review demonstrates that roads can present both ecological costs and ecological benefits although currently there is insufficient evidence to confirm some of the key theories which relate to the impact of the barrier effects (at population level) or the value of road verges as ecological corridors. In the absence of complete information the full extent of the problems and opportunities cannot be gauged and every effort should be made therefore to enhance the habitat adjacent to existing roads and to constrain further fragmentation caused by the development of the existing road network. Where further construction is unavoidable conditions should be enforced to prevent roads from reducing further the remaining habitats of conservation value and the connectivity between such habitats.Key words: roads, wildlife, fragmentation, corridor, barrier, environmental impact.

"Belt and Road" represents a corridor of collaboration and mutual gain, aimed at facilitating balanced growth and widespread prosperity. It is a peaceful road to enhance understanding and trust and strengthen all-round exchanges. After Zhang Qian's departure, the ancient Silk Road in the Northwest after the Western Regions was unblocked, political and economic ties between China and foreign countries under normal conditions were established, and the Silk Road trade was further developed. Today, the "Belt and Road" is not a replica of the "Silk Road" but a continuation of the "Silk Road", The "Belt and Road" initiative not only brings huge economic extension to China's economic construction, but also promotes the economic prosperity of countries in the world, strengthens political exchanges among countries in the world, and makes great contributions to the construction of world civilization. In this context, we need to deepen our understanding and understanding of the ancient Silk Road from history, and study the historical value brought by this ancient important channel from more angles. The important role is to learn from historical experience so that it can be used forever.

The Belt and Road initiative is one of the most important parts of China’s overseas business strategy. The African region is also included in the Belt and Road initiative. This paper aims to study the important position of Africa in the Belt and Road strategy through the economic cooperation and project construction between China and Africa under the framework of the Belt and Road. China-Africa cooperation has a long history. Africa has many limitations in infrastructure but rich in natural resources. China’s strong manufacturing system can both make full use of natural resources from Africa and invest in African infrastructure. In recent years, China-Africa cooperation has been deepening and expanding in scale. The Belt and Road Initiative has brought win-win results to China and Africa. As China consumes excess capacity and realizes the goal of Chinese manufacturing going global, African countries have achieved economic development, improved infrastructure construction and stride toward industrialization.

The history of two roads projected and built for cars during the first phase of the Estado Novo dictatorship in Portugal (1933–1945) is reconstructed in the context of similar developments in interwar Europe, showing the particularities of a peripheral European country. It shows the importance of automobile infrastructure to this dictatorial regime, the political uses of this technological sublime, and the controversies triggered by the exceptionality and arbitrariness with which this road plan was carried out. The Lisbon–Cascais coastal road and the Lisbon–National Stadium motorway stretch were two small roads compared with the national network, for which the State concentrated substantial economic and technical resources because of political reasons, but also due to concerns about urban development and tourism. Their construction entailed the development of national engineering and the promotion of future car use.

Under the background of the integration of transport industry and tourism industry, the highway can expand many functions such as ecology, tourism, scenic view, nostalgia and so on. By this, it replaces the traditional single road traffic function, organically combine the appreciation of natural landscape, ecological environment protection and the pursuit of human history, and closely connects the highway with the tourist area. Relying on the typical projects and the regional characteristics of rich tourism resources, this paper deeply digs the regional natural ecological elements of the “Home of Mountains and Rivers” and the regional cultural characteristics of “Millennium Poetry Road”, and connects the pearls on the golden tourism line. This paper aims to study construction of the fine road of tourism traffic in mountains, rivers and poetry road under the background of the integration of traffic and tourism, and provides practical exploration and reference for the integrated development of highway and tourism.

Abstract: Geosynthetics are with success used for many years within the construction of roads. They fulfill most classical perform like separation, protection, filtration, Drainage, sealing, and reinforcement. In recent time the scope of application has been extended considerably by the development of road pavement. Field evidences indicate that geosynthetic reinforcements will improve pavement performance by avoiding cracking, rutting, and patholes & by reducing deflection of paved surface. The rise in urbanization crystal rectifier to the inadequacy of the land for building, because of that land with high water content and low bearing capability had to be used. within the past history numerous|many alternative} strategies are projected thus on improve the unfavorable conditions prevailing in various locations like the locations with low bearing capability soil, water work conditions, land movements, etc. the appliance of geosynthetics has proved to be the foremost promising answer of all the alternatives. numerous forms of geosynthetics are wont to fulfill numerous functions like filtration, separation, drainage, reinforcement, mitigation of reflective cracks, by the utilization of one or combination of 2 or additional geosynthetics. This use of geosynthetics has conjointly contributed towards the goal of being one among the foremost economical and much applicable alternatives. This paper conjointly studies the characteristics and therefore the basic data of geosynthetics usually just in case of pavement like geotextile, geogrid, geonets, geomembrane, GCL Associate in Nursingd geo- composite having an unequivocal perform. It includes the comparison of the pavement made with the assistance of geosynthetics and therefore the standard pavements against numerous parameters like bearing capability, wetness content, economy, maintenance needed and therefore the life amount of the pavement. the utilization of geosynthetics is increasing at a awfully fast rate and is being accepted worldwide and therefore there rises the need for elaborate study.

Introduction. Low water crossing structures made of corrugated metal constructions (hereinafter referred to as CMp), despite having a history of over a century of use, are still quite a new type of structure in Ukraine and are gaining widespread use in transportation construction as an alternative to traditional steel or concrete bridge structures. The well-known advantages that justify the choice of such a solution mainly include the short construction period and relatively low cost. Construction, provided the appropriate technological process is followed, does not pose significant challenges. However, the current design and construction process of low water crossing structures with CMp is imperfect and constantly improving. Some local features require the construction of a low water crossing pipe with a steep slope, which increases the speed of the water and creates a high-energy flow at the exit of the low water crossing pipe. This high-energy water can erode the natural streambed. The most effective method for dissipating excess kinetic energy from the water flow is by using a hydraulic jump. An analysis of the characteristics of the junctions of the pools for road water-crossing pipes in flat problems was conducted, the impact of various factors on the length of the hydraulic jump was determined, and a methodological approach to solving the junction problems was presented. Problems. It has been established that there is a need to refine the existing approaches to the junction of pools for road water-crossing structures made of corrugated metal constructions, taking into account global practices.

Full textAbstract:
The historic and cultural district of Nanjing Yihe Road has profound historical value, which should be preserved in today's society. To preserve these buildings means preserving the architectural history and culture of China. This paper examines the evolutionary process, the value and significance of the existence of the Nanjing Yihe Road Historical and Cultural Quarter, the existing problems, and proposes measures. The results show that there have been four stages in the evolutionary process from the implementation of the Capital Plan to the present. The value of the existence of the Yihe Road Cultural Quarter is divided into three aspects: cultural value, architectural value, and planning value. The construction of the Summer Palace has changed the traditional construction methods of the Chinese people for more than a thousand years and has pushed the construction of buildings in China onto the path of scientific design, which is also of great value in the history of modern Chinese architecture. However, some problems manifest in three aspects: poorly reflected values, poor preservation, and unsatisfactory improvement schemes. Several renovation proposals have been put forward in response to the problems, drawing on some excellent examples from China. Firstly, it is suggested to increase the functionality and spatiality of the building and pay attention to the development of Republican architecture.

PurposeThe paper aims to contribute to the current research on China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from a historical point of view. The paper investigates why the history of the Silk Roads is important to the BRI, what is in the guiding thought underpinning China's Silk Roads narrative and how this narrative is presented transnationally, through an insightful analysis of the Communist Party of China's (CPC) view of the Silk Roads history, as well as its perception of the connections between the Silk Roads history and the BRI.Design/methodology/approachThe paper sits in the interface between history, heritage and state power. The argument is framed in concepts of historical constructionism and soft power. It is based on the discourse analysis of China's official narrative of Silk Roads and a case study of the planning for the World Heritage nomination of the Maritime Silk Routes (MSR) (China section). The case study is conducted through a qualitative analysis of academic publications, media reports and programs, official speeches and documents that are available to the public in hardcopy or on the Internet.FindingsThe paper reveals the relationship between the state-endorsed Silk Roads narrative and the BRI. The paper argues that the state-backed Silk Roads narrative as well as the planning for the World Heritage nomination of the MSR (China section) is guided by the Chinese Communist Party's perception of the BRI. In this respect, the Silk Roads-associated history, heritage and memory are shaped and deployed to serve as a convenient platform for the promotion of the BRI. The Party leaders' perception of the BRI is in large part about the revival of China's past glory, its national rejuvenation and the demonstration of China's soft power.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the existing literature on the BRI through its enquiries into how the CPC reconcile nationalist ambitions with notions of peace, harmony and cosmopolitanism and how CPC's view of the Silk Roads history shapes its vision of the BRI. The paper examines the role of the state in the construction and articulation of the Silk Roads-associated history, heritage and memory. It investigates how China's official interpretation of the Silk Road heritage serves China's BRI.

Full textAbstract:
As it is frequently the case in the modern world, the term ‘Silk Road’ or ‘Silk Roads’ is of colonial provenance. The elaborate network of ancient routes originating in the fourth millennium bc and linking various parts of the Eurasian landmass through Central Asia was re-imagined and reinvented in the late nineteenth century as a ‘Silk Road’ connecting China with the Roman Empire, thereby undermining the role of the steppe with its various nomadic and oasis cultures which had always been at the heart of this Eurasian system of trade and other exchange. Ever since, historiography has focussed on the role of sedentary civilisations in this system of exchange, with a particular emphasis on China and the West, thus undermining the role of other sedentary civilisations such as India. Contrary to the dominant narrative, the antiquity of the Eurasian trade network goes back to several millennia before the rise of either the Han Empire or Rome. Whereas this network did connect the agrarian civilisations, this happened primarily through the agency of central Asian intermediaries whose culmination is represented by the rise of the vast Mongol Empire in the thirteenth century. The idea of the ‘Silk Road(s)’ is thus anachronistic in the sense that it is a backward projection of present into the historical past, especially in view of the fact that silk was only one among several important items of exchange, such as horses, cotton, precious stones, and furs.

Full textAbstract:
Peru is one of the most diverse countries from a geographical and climatic point of view, where there are three large ecosystem regions called coast, Sierra, and jungle. These characteristics result in the country having many hydrographic basins, with rivers of significant dimensions in terms of the width and length of the channel. In this sense, there is a permanent need to provide connectivity and promote trade between communities through road bridge infrastructure. Thus, Peru historically developed a road network and bridges during the Inca Empire in the Tawantinsuyu region, building a cobblestone road network and suspension bridges with rope cables made of plant fibers from vegetation called Coya-Ichu. This is how bridges in Peru have evolved to meet contemporary vehicular demands and provide structural stability and functionality throughout their useful life. This article presents the following sections: (a) an introduction to the evolution of bridges, (b) the current typology and inventory of bridges, (c) the characterization of the largest bridges, (d) a discussion on the architecture, engineering, construction, and structural health monitoring (AECSHM) of bridges in the face of climate change, earthquakes, and material degradation, and (e) conclusions. Finally, this article presents opportunities and challenges in terms of Peru’s architecture, engineering, construction, and structural health monitoring of road bridges. Special emphasis is given to the use of technologies from the era of Industry 4.0 to promote the digital construction and structural health monitoring of these infrastructures. Finally, it is concluded that the integration of technologies of sensors, the IoT (Internet of Things), AI (artificial intelligence), UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), remote sensing, BIM (Building Information Modeling), and DfMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly), among others, will allow for more safe, reliable, durable, productive, cost-effective, sustainable, and resilient bridge infrastructures in Peru in the face of climate change.

Full textAbstract:
The mismanagement of the highway transportation resources cannot be seen as new, mainly when the presence of both public sector and the diffuse regional interests, which are far away from the region necessities, are taken into consideration. Besides, it is imperative that the problems currently faced into transportation field be treated more seriously. These problems range from generation and management of required resources for construction and maintenance of roads, traffic jams to traffic violence. Yet they have been caused by both a lack of sensibility and political desire to solve issues and have brought serious consequences to the transportation sector itself as well. Another problem is the existence of contracts of privatization, which have given to the private road management companies full power and autonomy to manage profits without any kind of supervision. As a result the process of privatization only renamed the previous issues such as toll, resources application and tax collecting. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to introduce the origin of the resources in superhighway transportation focusing not only on describing its events but also discussing the causes, which have led to the serious problems showed above.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the history of the construction of one of the main transportation arteries in modern Iran: the Enzeli-Teheran highway with the Kazvin-Hamadan section. The road was funded by the Russian treasury and aimed to boost Russian-Persian trade by including not only the northern provinces of Persia but also the central part of the country. The intensification of trade was expected to occur through the introduction of automobile traffic on the highway, replacing the archaic caravan routes. The article presents the perspectives of both the Russian government of that period and entrepreneurial circles on the choice of road direction and the justification for transitioning to a new method of cargo delivery. It concludes that there were significant discrepancies in the positions of these parties. While the Russian government saw great geopolitical advantage in connecting the largest Enzeli port with Teheran and constructing the Kazvin-Hamadan branch linking northern Persia with its central part, entrepreneurs viewed it as a threat of European product penetration into northern Persia. Fortunately, the entrepreneurial community was not unanimous in its views, and a group emerged willing to embark on this new venture, promising to be successful and give a fresh impetus to Russian-Persian trade relations.

Full textAbstract:
Road submergence is a common occurrence in Eket, South-South Nigeria, resulting in massive outlays for road construction and alimony. Fundamentally, the delineation of roadway structures is based on the strength of consolidated soil avowed as the subgrade. Consequently, the subgrade is the in situ material upon which the roadway structure is placed. It is necessary to know the modes of damage to roads caused by submergence. This study assesses the effect of road submergence depths and the extent of submergences on the subgrade strength of soil samples carried out on the Uquo Eket road that was intensely defective by the deluge. Coherent and frictional soil material types were tested for California Bearing ratio (CBR), mechanical analysis, Atterberg limit determination, and moisture density tests, respectively. CBR tests were done at various elevations of submersion, including common drenching limit, elongated deluge, and resoluteness of its suitability. Atterberg limit determination and mechanical analysis tests categorized and determined the applicability of studious soil as subgrade substantial. For elongated duration deluges, the depth and extent of submergence of subgrade strength show a lower value. Moreover, mechanical and Atterberg limit determination tests indicate a rapid and high-resolution occurrence of delegation for the elongated duration.

Full textAbstract:
Through analysis of the evolution of the Japanese, Chinese and South Korean narratives of the Silk Road, this paper argues that the content and the nature of these Silk Road strategies changed with time and the international environment. Thus, this paper claims that, the notion of the Silk Road has changed from a static concept of a historical trade route into a product of social construction of a number of powerful states – strategies that are constantly shaped, imagined and re-interpreted. In this sense, the Silk Road is not a foreign policy doctrine but rather a discursive strategy of engagement that largely exists in the realm of narration. This narration is also a matter of social construction that is subject to change depending on the international environment of the country (China, Japan, Korea, etc.) that produces such narratives, context of a receiving region, the alternative narratives that compete for wider international acceptance and the country's vision of “self” and the “other” in the international context.

Full textAbstract:
The construction of the extensive motorway network by the Nazi regime has often been seen as a textbook example of a thorough motorisation policy. But the motorway construction took place under a transport policy that favoured public railroads at the expense of private road haulage companies. A strict regulation of freight rates prevented road hauliers from competing with railroads and gaining a greater share of the freight market. The division of administrative and planning competencies between the motor-minded enthusiasts around Hitler's road builder Fritz Todt and the railroad lobby in the Ministry of Transport contributed to a contradictory motorisation policy. Not even the design of the German motorways was favourable to commercial road hauliers. The German Autobahn was built primarily for cars and ignored the needs of the trucking industry.

Central Asia is a vital link in the huge Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that follows much of the ancient Silk Road routes in this region. Other than the economic expansion and trade benefits associated with this complex infrastructure system, little is known about the many of the exogenous issues and direct environmental and socioeconomic impacts surrounding the BRI in Central Asia. This opinion paper takes a sharper look at some of these externalities and potential effects through a sustainability lens. Major environmental concerns focus on the proliferation of spur roads that will develop off upgraded or new Belt Roads to promote exploitation of natural resources. Steep, high-elevation landscapes in the Pamirs and Tien Shan pose problems for road location and construction, and the history of road building in less formidable terrain in Yunnan, China is unsustainable, leading to epic landslide and gully erosion, which degrade river systems. Furthermore, many socioeconomic issues may arise like debt dependencies of poor countries, spread of communicable diseases into remote communities, depletion of mineral resources, and implicit compliance with pro-China policies. While some of the poorer post-Soviet nations can reap short-term benefits from BRI plans, it is urged that they assess the long-term sustainability of BRI development and play an active role in determining the conditions for implementation.

The main focus of this article is on the road traffic safety development trends in Latvia. Soon after the regain of independence at the beginning of the 1990s, road traffic safety characteristics in Latvia were the worst in the Latvian history. The increase of car availability and affordability made the car a major road vehicle. The implementation of road safety programmes contributed to essential improvement of road traffic safety in Latvia. The number of road accident fatalities in 2020 compared to 1991 decreased more than sevenfold. Nevertheless, the current Latvian road traffic safety statistics is well below the average level of the EU member states and even the pandemics did not cause similar reduction as in most member states. This indicates that great improvement is still needed. The article shows the Latvian experience in road traffic safety enhancements and discusses the measures to improve road traffic safety.

During the interwar period, Budzyński was the head of the Road Traffic Division of the Road Department in the Ministry of Transport, creating conditions for the development of road transport and the construction of modern roads in Poland. After the war, as the head of the Poviat Road Administration in Grójec, he rebuilt roads and bridges, e.g. using bridge structures donated by the United Nations Relief and Reconstruction Administration (UNRRA). Budzyński ended his professional career working at the Central Research and Development Center for Road Technology (currently the Road and Bridge Research Institute) as the manager of the Center for the Scientific, Technical and Economic Information and Documentation, disseminating world achievements in road technology in Poland. Jerzy Budzyński’s personal file has been preserved in the archives of the Road and Bridge Research Institute, containing source documents of great value for research on the history of Poland in the 20th century.

During recent years several teams have surveyed and excavated along the roads between Coptos in the Nile Valley and the Red Sea. This article is the result of co-operation between two of them, namely the Dutch-American team working in Berenike since 1994 and the French team that has excavated stations on the Coptos–Myos Hormos road between 1994 and 1997 and later at Didymoi in the N end of the Coptos–Berenike road. A chance visit to Berenike gave the key to a deeper understanding of the origins and history of the road that leads there from Coptos, because an inscription, that could easily have been understood in a purely local context, was suddenly seen to have at least two rather exact, though almost illegible, parallels at other stations. The three inscriptions are published below, two of them for the first time.Sikayt is one of 10 forts that encircle Berenike from southwest to northwest (see fig. 1). These include: (1) a hill top fort at Shenshef; (2) a large hydreuma in Wadi Kalalat; (3) a small fort in Wadi Kalalat; (4) the fort at Sikayt; (5-9) 5 forts in Wadi Abu Greiya (Vetus Hydreuma); and (10) the small fort in Wadi Lahami. These forts range in date from Ptolemaic to late Roman. Some are only from one period, while others seem to span longer periods.

Social Impact Analysis is one of the most essential parts of project implementation. Disagreements and change in time, design, and budget of project implementation at the time of construction in Papua New Guinea were mostly occur due to the influence from the past and delay of compensations in the project. This research was carried out in the Highlands Highway of Papua New Guinea to classify and to assess the impact of social and cultural factors on the implementation of road project. In this study local people were participated through in-depth interview. In addition, archival review from the road authority documentation was carried out to support the findings. The analysis result show that history of land acquisition, historical claim for un-purchased land, natural disasters, maintenances, road diversions, encroachment on the road corridor, and land disputes are the main factors influence to the project implementation. To mitigate the delay of project implementation, the sponsors should assist center Government as well as local Government to develop an action plan for dealing with the problems existed at sites.

During road construction work, material attributed to the Final Palaeolithic was discovered at Skovmosen I, near Kongens Lyngby on Zealand, eastern Denmark. Although it is regularly mentioned in reviews of the southern Scandinavian Final Palaeolithic, the Skovmosen I assemblage has hitherto remained poorly described. We here review the site’s discovery history and its context. Aided by a three-dimensional digital recording protocol, this article details the assemblage composition and its technology. The assemblage is comprised of tanged points, scrapers and burins, alongside blades and cores as primary reduction products. Although evidently disturbed by the road construction that led to the site’s discovery, the material likely reflects the remains of a small Final Palaeolithic locale, where diverse activities were carried out.

The rapid spread of the automobile in the early twentieth century posed both challenges and promises to nation states. Before automobility became the object of public policies, this new mobility technology had to be socially perceived and constructed as belonging to the public sphere. Motorist associations played a decisive role in this process. This paper focuses on the Argentine Automobile Club (ACA) and the Argentine Touring Club (TCA), the two principal automobile clubs in the country and the largest ones in Latin America during the first half of the twentieth century. It argues that the ACA and TCA had a decisive influence during the 1920s in diagnosing and listing possible solutions to road and tourism challenges, and providing reference points for most of the road and tourism policies in the following decades. At the same time, both clubs actively helped to create a national network of roads through their participation in the planning agencies and made the new roadways accessible by signposting them and by providing petrol stations. Not least they formed and spread the new practices of road culture and automobility and, by organising sporting events, tours and rally drives and printing travel guides and maps, they contributed to the symbolic construction of the roads.

Analysis of losses incurred by the state as a result of war, the proportion of these losses attributed to infrastructure objects, and the investigation of methods for providing technical cover for transport routes through the construction of temporary structures on the immediate bypass of damaged (ruined) transportation objects. Findings. The outcome of this work consists of collected data on losses inflicted upon the transportation infrastructure, specifically transportation structures, due to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. Analyzed examples of restoring transport movement across water obstacles include the construction of dams with water passage pipes and temporary bridge crossings on the immediate bypass of damaged (ruined) transportation structures. Using the example of a bridge repaired before the war, the impact of military actions on the structure and methods for its technical protection in ensuring fast and reliable transport movement across a water obstacle in a specified road section were examined. Originality. The losses incurred by our state, infrastructure, and transportation assets due to the war have been analyzed. The scientific interest lies in the decisions made regarding the restoration of automobile transport movement, taking into account local conditions, available material resources, and the forces and means that ensure a rapid and reliable restoration of transport movement across a water obstacle. Practical value. Drawing upon the experience of ensuring transport movement across water obstacles on road sections with damaged (ruined) transportation structures, effective methods for constructing temporary transportation facilities on the immediate bypass have been developed, ensuring a swift restoration and safe traffic flow.
