Abstract

This paper review some of the aspects of necessary disciplines of geomorphology and roads, with emphasize Soleghan road. For building this road didn’t consider geomorphology process carefully. so the safety rang of the road is low and with consider to increasing traffic, the rang of danger is high. Specific subjects are related to the description of slops phenomena, including rock fall, block slide, rock creep, talus creep, debris flow, rock avalanches and floods. The river process, sloop steep, joint and fault system are the most important geomorphologic information of the Soleghan road. Soleghan road have been studied in this view and thus provide information which take the basis of stability road. Every road in Iran or world can include one or some important process, so some information is needed. More than half of Iran and world roads have built about before 1970, when the geomorphologic education and research was in the early of stage. Therefore many of Iran and world roads such as Soleghan road haven’t built with new geomorphologic and basic information. Too more damages which in order to geomorphologic process exposed to roads, people and cars in Iran and world such as Soleghan road are increased. Many flood and slumps destroyed built roads, many people and cars, damage or crash to ignoring the geomorphologic information, thus if we use geomorphologic information in road building, damage and crashes will be decreased, so safety will be increase.

Highlights

  • Geomorphology has been defined the study of surface land forms [2]

  • Soleghan road have been studied in this view [9], and provide information which take the basis of stability roads

  • There is, an increasing recognition by both geomorphologies and by road policy-makers, that geomorphology has an important role in roads to play alongside other disciplines in the engineering and technical sciences [9,5] It is necessary that the road policy-makers be aware of the geomorphologic information can provide and of how it can use in planning formulation of road

Summary

Introduction

Geomorphology has been defined the study of surface land forms [2]. It is proceeded to the nature, origin and evolution of landforms, their processes and promotion of their material composition [4 and 6]. These subjects are common working for roadbuilders and road-policy makers and geomorphologies in Soleghan road as well as Iran and world.. Iran and world road have various geomorphologic process, so some information is needed.
