Labour-based Road Construction
A state of the art review
This book brings together up-to-date, undocumented information on the practices of labour-based road construction in low income countries around the world. It draws on the experiences of practitioners working in this field who describe tried and tested ideas, and also looks at failures and their causes. The book looks at the design, selection and use of intermediate equipment for labour forces. It also discusses the issues of contracting out road construction and maintenance, considering the problems encountered and how to overcome them.
