Highways Construction Review in Seismic Hazard Zone
Journal: Journal of Building Technology DOI: 10.32629/jbt.v7i1.3770
Abstract
Roads have undergone significant evolution throughout history, with unquestionable economic and consequent social development. Various trends are currently emerging in their construction, without ignoring the fact that, during their useful life, these structures are subject to processes and phenomena that limit their safety and durability. Cuba, due to its geographic location, is influenced by significant seismic activity, the induced threats of which can have a significant negative impact on roads. This research proposes considerations for the execution of these linear works in the face of geological disasters, considering threats such as earthquakes, soil liquefaction, and landslides. The main results of this work are supported by a bibliographic review and documentary analysis of international experiences.
