Winter road service is essential to maintaining safe, reliable, and efficient transportation systems during cold-weather conditions. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures create hazardous driving conditions that significantly increase the risk of collisions, delays, and road closures. Timely winter services—such as snow removal, ice control, anti-icing treatments, and roadway monitoring—help reduce these risks by improving traction, visibility, and overall driving conditions. Ensuring roads [...]

Current climate change is causing more frequent extreme weather events, which negatively affect road embankments, especially through sudden heavy rainfall and increased erosion. Although annual rainfall totals in the Czech Republic have not changed significantly, rainfall is now distributed much more unevenly, with local downpours often delivering up to 75% of the monthly average in just 24 hours, which destabilizes embankment slopes.

In Malaysia, the coastal plains are predominantly covered with soft clay, a feature that poses significant engineering challenges such as high compressibility and low bearing capacity. With increasing demand for land for infrastructure, engineers face the dual challenge of building on these unstable soils while managing costs and sustainability. Given these constraints, innovative solutions using nature sources like bamboo offer a promising approach for effective and environmentally friendly [...]

Earthen roads, in the general sense, make up over 90% of the road network in Côte d’Ivoire (AGEROUTE CI, 2024), as in most West African countries. Although these roads typically carry low traffic volumes, they play a crucial role in opening up rural areas and transporting agricultural products. As such, their socio-economic importance should not be underestimated.

Welcome to this special issue on Earthworks, and thanks to PIARC for dedicating a part of this Routes/Roads magazine, to it. Earthworks and Earthworks Structures, which are their consequences, are often neglected or ignored in many reflections on infrastructure. However, these Earthworks constitute the majority of the world’s infrastructures (80% of the infrastructures is made up of Earthworks). Earthmoving is the art of reusing the materials of the site to make an infrastructure at a [...]
