American Earthworks and Grading Design Codes
American Earthworks and Grading Design Codes
(OP)
Hi All,
I'm about to start a project in Iraq with relatively simple earthworks, however I still need to prepare an Earthworks Specification or Design Guide. As I'm in the UK i've worked with British Standards and Eurocodes before, but not on American Codes (which the projects will be deigned to).
Could you let me know the main codes, and any good text books to design with?
Cheers.
