Abstract
Road complex which includes a road network with traffic, road services, car repair businesses, and enterprises for the production of fuels and materials for the repair of roads, is an important source of environmental pollution, and the degree of contamination depends on the quality of the road pavement. The present research is aimed to find the interaction between the amount of emissions into the environment from whole road complex and condition of road cover, on creation of a simplified method of determining economic damage from environmental pollution at the road operation and to develop basic mechanism of the economic impact on road services at excess emissions. According to the results of computer experiments mathematical relations of complex road emissions from the evenness of road pavement were obtained. Worked out method of greenhouse (and other) emission inventory permits to determine the total amount of emissions and to identify excess emissions relative to some acceptable level. Definition of economic damage of environmental pollution during road operation can be the basis for determining the amount of ban impositions on road service.

A stress history and strain dependent stiffness of overconsolidated cohesive soil
In the last three decades an interest has grown in prediction of soil stiffness. This is mainly due to enlightened nonlinearity of constitutive characteristic in small and intermediate range of strain. In the last decade...
Analysis of yield stress ratio and overconsolidation ratio as parameter determination preconsolidation in eemian gyttja
The preconsolidation stress is an important phenomenon that determines the value of stress history exerted in the past on the subsoil in the geotechnical engineering. Overconsolidation ratio (OCR) is one of the main crit...
Impact of the stabilization of compacted cohesive soil – sandy clay on yield criterion improvement
Soft soils, exhibiting low strength properties in the case of external load, require improvement. Chemical stabilization is easy in preparing and presents very good results in improving mechanical properties. In this pap...
