Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everything that sustains us – grown, mined, or drilled – begins its journey to us on a low-volume road (Long)." Defined as roads with traffic volumes of no more than 400 vehicles per day, they have enormous impacts on economies, communication, and social interaction. Low-volume roads comprise, at one end of the spectrum, farm-to-market roads, roads in developing countries, northern roads, roads on aboriginal lands and parklands; and at the other end of the spectrum, heavy haul roads for mining, oil and gas, oil sands extraction, and forestry. Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design, Construction, and Maintenance gives an international perspective to the engineering design of low-volume roads and their construction and maintenance. It is a single reference drawing from the dispersed literature. It lays out the basic principles of each topic, from road location and geometric design, pavement design, slope stability and erosion control, through construction to maintenance, then refers the reader to more comprehensive treatment elsewhere. Wherever possible, comparisons are made between the standard specifications and practices existing in the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Topics covered include the following: Road classification, location, and geometric design Pavement concepts, materials, and thickness design Drainage, erosion and sediment control, and watercrossings Slope stability Geosynthetics Road construction, maintenance, and maintenance management Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design, Construction, and Maintenance is a valuable reference for engineers, planners, designers and project managers in consulting firms, contracting firms and NGOs. It also is an essential reference in support of university courses on transportation engineering and planning, and on mining, oil and gas, and forestry infrastructure.

Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Download or read book Low Volume Roads Engineering Best Management Practices Field Guide written by Gordon Keller and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Low-Volume Roads Engineering Best Management Practices Field Guide is intended to provide an overview of the key planning, location, design, construction, and maintenance aspects of roads that can cause adverse environmental impacts and to list key ways to prevent those impacts. Best Management Practices are general techniques or design practices that, when applied and adapted to fit site-specific conditions, will prevent or reduce pollution and maintain water quality. BMPs for roads have been developed by many agencies since roads often have a major adverse impact on water quality, and most of those impacts are preventable with good engineering and management practices. Roads that are not well planned or located, not properly designed or constructed, not well maintained, or not made with durable materials often have negative effects on water quality and the environment.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this synthesis is to bring together materials and information on the design and maintenance of low volume roads. A literature search has been obtained from HRIS, NTIS and the Engineering Index. Over 1,000 questionnaires were then sent to cities, counties and consultants in the northern tier of states and the Canadian provinces. Interviews were also held with representatives of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Duluth, Hennepin and St. Louis Counties regarding their low volume road design and rehabilitation procedures.

Download or read book Surface Design and Rehabilitation Guidelines for Low volume Roads written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is for use by owners, managers, and engineers involved with the design, rehabilitation, and maintenance of surfacing for low-volume road networks. The considerations and constraints associated with the design process are discussed. These include drainage, geometrics, traffic, materials, surface characteristics, and shoulders. Design procedures especially for low-volume roads are given for both paved and aggregate surfaces. Paved surfaces include surface treatments, asphalt concrete, and portland cement concrete. Methods of maintaining and rehabilitating low-volume roads are also presented because of the importance of protecting the large investment in existing low-volume roads. Finally, a discussion of pavement management practices and the basics of pavement evaluation and performance is given so low-volume road agencies can begin to develop these useful tools.
Download or read book Asphalt Pavements written by Patrick Lavin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asphalt Pavements provides the know-how behind the design, production and maintenance of asphalt pavements and parking lots. Incorporating the latest technology, this book is the first to focus primarily on the design, production and maintenance of low-volume roads and parking areas. Special attention is given to determining the traffic capacity, required thickness and asphalt mixture type for parking applications. Topics covered include: material information such as binder properties, testing grading and selection; construction information such as mixing plant operation, proportioning, mixture placement and compaction; and design information such as thickness and mixture design methods and guidelines on applying these to highways, city streets and parking Areas. It is an essential practical guide aimed at those engineers and architects who are not directly involved in the asphalt industry, but who nonetheless need to have a good general knowledge of the subject. Asphalt Pavements provides a novice with enough information to completely design, construct and specify an asphalt pavement.
Download or read book Design Procedure for Bituminous Stabilized Road Surfaces for Low Volume Roads written by W. James Wilde and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many low-volume roadways in the county road system in the State of Minnesota consist of unpaved aggregate surfaces. It is the responsibility of the county engineer to make determinations regarding the design and maintenance of such roads and particularly for specific needs, such as weight restrictions. One method used by several counties in Minnesota is the construction of a bituminous-stabilized layer by adding several inches of new aggregate and stabilizing it with an engineered, water-based asphalt emulsion using mix-in-place methods. This report describes a design method providing highway engineers and their staffs with the technical backing needed for the designs selected. This report describes the design method for determining the required thickness of stabilized and unstabilized layers in this type of aggregate-surfaced road. This basic design method is based on the material properties and a correlation between layered-elastic analysis, dynamic cone penetrometer, and falling-weight deflectometer testing. The load rating analysis uses the Minnesota Department of Transportation methodology of estimating load rating on low-volume roads using falling weight deflectometer data. A software package is also presented which was developed as part of this project.
