Practical Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Road Embankments

The practical guidelines contained in this report have been developed from the results of a survey on the state of the art in the design and construction of road embankments. In March 1993 a questionnaire was circulated to collect information about the "rules of the art in the design and construction of road embankments" in use in each of the 24 countries represented on PIARC Committee C12 by a member or a correspondent.
