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 Performance Comparison of Abutment and Retaining Wall Drainage Systems written by Junliang Tao and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control of water infiltration and providing adequate drainage are critical to the performance of retaining walls and abutment walls. Current Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) practice for drainage of structures specifies the use of a two-foot porous backfill with filter fabric, which has a long performance history. ODOT is seeking alternative drainage systems that are more cost- and time-effective, durable, and at the same time, have comparable or superior drainage capability compared to current practice. A prefabricated composite drainage system (PCDS) is proposed in this research as an alternative structure drainage system. The current state of practice of drainage systems for retaining wall and bridge abutment structures is evaluated through a survey of county agencies in Ohio. Commercially available PCDS products as well as specifications for PCDS used by other state DOTs are also reviewed and synthesized. Laboratory testing and evaluation of select PCDS products are conducted to improve the understanding of their properties. It is found that tested values for some properties of some products do not match those listed by the manufacturers. Recommendations on the selection of proper standard testing methods and suggestions on the selection of factory of safety in design are discussed. Field performance of the PCDS system and the traditional drainage system are evaluated with in situ instruments including piezometers, tiltmeters and flumes. The data analysis suggests that the PCDS has comparable drainage capability to the traditional system. Field observation and feedback from the contractor reveal that installation of PCDS systems are less labor-intensive and more time-effective. Cost analysis from ODOT historical bidding data and the actual cost at the tested sites demonstrates that a PCDS system costs 40% less than the traditional process. Based on the findings, draft specifications were developed to specify the material and construction requirements for a PCDS system.

Download or read book Integrated Drainage Systems Planning and Design for Municipal Engineers written by Patrick Ssempeera and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-05-05 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban water management has to take an integrated approach that prioritizes sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) over gray infrastructure. This book elaborates on the planning and evaluation of pipework drainage systems with a focus on modern-day constraints to deliver a solution that favors sustainability as the overarching goal. The book includes a technical section on design of gray and green infrastructure, considering the total lifecycle costs of drainage systems. Advanced computer simulation techniques are discussed after covering the derivation of both standard and empirical equations for appropriate hydrology and hydraulics. The book provides an incorporation of reliability analyses for both green and gray infrastructure starting with techniques for forecasting flows, hydraulic performance, and lifecycle costs. The work also involves 3-D modeling, geospatial and big data analysis, and how these techniques are applied into city management—particularly beneficial to municipal engineers who are increasingly becoming involved in mapping the underground. Soil mechanics and subsurface drainage systems are analyzed and structural aspects of sewers are included. Finally, soil behavior in shear, retaining wall structures, and tunneling is briefly featured in the book. This book will be of interest to (under)graduate and postgraduate engineering students, drainage engineers, urban planners, architects, water engineers, developers, construction contractors, and municipal engineers.
