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.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information from many highway departments and agencies was assembled and analysed in this effort to record and evaluate current practices in the use of partial-lane pavement widening. Specific problems on partial-lane pavement widening projects (narrow work areas, acquisition of additional right-of-way, variable subgrade, reconditioning of existing pavement, reflective cracking, structure widening, surface and subsurface drainage, traffic during construction, access for abuting owners, and funding projects) have been addressed and practices have been developmed to meet specific needs. Nearly all partial-lane widening projects include provisions for placing an overlay over both the old and new pavement. In a few cases the overlay may be placed during the following construction season. The modification of the existing surface drainage, alignment improvement (by shifting the widening, where possible, to the inside of curves; replacement of small angles by a smooth curve), minimizing reflection cracks by provision of good subsurface drainage, compaction of widening trench at or near the optimum moisture content, provision of good shoulder support, and the use of substantial overlay to cover the joint) are some practices described. The open trench hazard, and advance coordination with abutting residents and businesses to avoid inconvenience are also discussed. Safety, capacity and maintenance are important factors in planning the widening projects. Long-range and short-range plans, project selection, citizen participation and factors which affect the decision-making process are outlined. The various aspects of design and construction are covered.

Download or read book Pavement Management for Airports Roads and Parking Lots written by M.Y. Shahin and published by Springer. This book was released on 1994-08-31 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emphasizing sound, cost-effective management rather than emergency repairs, this comprehensive volume offers practical guidelines on evaluating and managing pavements for airports, roads, and parking lots. The author focuses on the implementation and maintenance of successful management strategies for both network and project levels, with repair techniques also described . Detailed chapters: 1) outline step-by-step procedures for project and network level pavement management 2) illustrate effective cost analysis and budget planning for pavement maintenance 3) guide the reader in the selection and use of non-destructive deflection, roughness measurement, and friction measurement equipment 4) present state-of-the-art pavement rehabilitation and condition prediction techniques 5) demonstrates the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) procedure for airfields and surfaced and unsurfaced roads. Extensive appendices serve as a field manual for identifying all types of pavement distress and their causes, and hundred of photographs facilitate accurate pavement evaluation. Civil and pavement engineers will find complete information on pavement inspection, evaluation, and management in this indispensable reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD manages and operates 577,000 structures worldwide, valued at about $712 billion. DoD has worked for several years to develop models that can reliably estimate the installation support funds needed to sustain these facilities, and plans to spend over $55 billion to support these facilities and operate its bases in FY2008. This report discusses: (1) the reliability of the annual funding estimates produced by the facilities sustainment model; (2) DoD¿s progress in meeting funding goals for facility sustainment and recapitalization; (3) the extent to which DoD has addressed deferred facility sustainment funding needs; and (4) the status of DoD¿s efforts to develop a new installation services model. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
