Book excerpt: The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is implementing smoothness specifications based on profilograph testing as part of its construction quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) program. Most tests are presently conducted using automated, California-type profilographs in which the equipment is pushed over a prescribed wheelpath. It appears that smoothness specifications will continue to be based on the profilograph, at least for the short term. However, in view of advances in profiling technology, it becomes prudent to investigate other methods of measuring surface profile and develop smoothness specifications based on profilers that offer greater accuracy and higher production rates. Already, a number of districts have expressed concerns about the sensitivity of the profilograph to short wavelengths or high frequency ripples. This observation demonstrates the need for more accurate measurements of surface profile for the purpose of building pavements that offer excellent ride quality, lower road user costs, and longer service lives. In pursuit of its goal of providing smooth pavements, TxDOT initiated a research project with the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) to develop a smoothness specification for asphalt concrete overlays based on the new generation of pavement profilers that offer greater accuracy in profile measurement relative to the profilographs presently used in construction projects. Among other things, this research project evaluated a number of profile measuring devices to establish the availability of equipment for implementing a new profile-based smoothness specification in Texas. This report presents the findings of the profile equipment evaluation.
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 Pavement Asset Management written by Ralph Haas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive and practical, Pavement Asset Management provides an essential resource for educators, students and those in public agencies and consultancies who are directly responsible for managing road and airport pavements. The book is comprehensive in the integration of activities that go into having safe and cost-effective pavements using the best technologies and management processes available. This is accomplished in seven major parts, and 42 component chapters, ranging from the evolution of pavement management to date requirements to determining needs and priority programming of rehabilitation and maintenance, followed by structural design and economic analysis, implementation of pavement management systems, basic features of working systems and finally by a part on looking ahead. The most current methodologies and practical applications of managing pavements are described in this one-of-a-kind book. Real world up-to-date examples are provided, as well as an extensive list of references for each part.
Download or read book Measurements Specifications and Achievement of Smoothness for Pavement Construction written by James H. Woodstrom and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1990 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to construction engineers, pavement designers, contractors, and others interested in construction of new highway pavements with smooth surfaces. Information is provided on the various devices and specifications that are being used to obtain smooth pavements. The public rates a pavement primarily on its smooth-riding characteristics and highway agencies recognize that constructing smooth pavements results in fewer problems later and lower annual maintenance costs. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the devices and specifications highway agencies use to ensure that newly constructed pavements will provide a smooth ride.
