Soil studies for highway construction in arid zones
Abstract An appreciation of the special features of the desert environment is necessary for proper construction and subsequent maintenance of highways in arid zones. Geotechnical tests and chemical analyses were carried out on a large number of samples of dune sand collected from four different sites in the Sahara desert. It is concluded that greater use can be made of local materials and that cement-stabilized sand should prove an adequate base for highways. Some useful suggestions are given for engineers operating in the hot deserts.
