Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the design and performance of a forest road built in the Idaho Batholith region, an area known for its steep, fragile, and erodible soils. The construction of the China Glenn Road in 1970 aimed to balance the need for resource extraction with the preservation of the delicate ecosystem. The author delves into the challenges encountered during construction, including the control of surface water, prevention of slope failures, and revegetation efforts. Through a detailed analysis of the road's performance over six years, the book offers valuable insights into effective road design principles for similar environments. It highlights the importance of minimizing environmental impact, controlling water flow, and utilizing sustainable construction practices. The lessons learned from the China Glenn Road study provide a valuable reference for engineers, land managers, and anyone interested in responsible road construction in sensitive ecosystems.
