Short summary

The work presented represents a quantitative assessment of the impact of clay-related subsidence on the local road network of Lincolnshire, UK. It provides a methodology into how Lincolnshire County Council have used soil-related geohazard maps as a soil-informed maintenance strategy for maintaining their highway network. The research presented represents a component within the current UK Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) http://www.itrc.org.uk/.
