This book presents challenges in transportation engineering, recent developments and advancements in technologies, and design and construction using sustainable materials. The articles presented in this volume focus on fundamental investigations on various aspects of civil engineering materials and structures. The scope of this volume is the application of findings for solving problems in geotechnical, pavement, and transportation engineering using emerging techniques. Papers were selected from the 5th GeoChina International Conference 2018 on Civil Infrastructures Confronting Severe Weathers and Climate Changes Conference, held on July 23 to 25, 2018 in HangZhou, China.

Presents fundamental investigations and applied knowledge on geotechnical and highway materials properties Includes experimental studies for the characterization of materials of civil engineering structures Contains and discusses the development of innovative technologies for solving problems in geotechnical, pavement, and structural engineering
