Book excerpt: Excerpt from Management and Methods in Concrete Highway Construction The management Of production is increasingly a science. Effect unalterably and unavoidably follows cause. As a science, management endeavors not only to determine cause accurately and Specifically, but to determine it quantitatively, for it is only by so doing that effect can be accurately controlled. The output is low. This is an effect - the effect of a dozen causes, it may be. The causes may be accurately determined as poor Operation of the mixer, inadequate truck supply, slow loading of trucks, etc., but even then the control can only be haphazard. It is only when the superintendent knows exactly what percentage Of the working day is lost from each Of these and from any other causes affecting production that he is in a position definitely to deal with the production problem. On the other hand, it is unavoidably true that some methods are basically more efficient than others. Therefore the attainment of proper production at the lowest cost requires both the application of scientific manage ment and the use of what are basically the most efficient produc tion practices. It is for this reason that the discussion of the two is combined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 1993 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis reviews the literature in the field of concrete materials, construction practices, and major application areas as applied to highway construction technology. It covers current and projected developments in materials including cements, aggregates, admixtures, fibers, and sealers. Topic areas covered include mix proportioning, batching and transport, placement, finishing, and curing. The applications included here focus on repair and reconstruction including full depth repairs, slab replacement, partial depth repairs, overlays, and recycling. Quality control of concrete including traditional approaches as well as new test methods and quality assurance schemes are discussed. The appendix describes the history of developments in concrete pavement construction in Europe.

Download or read book Methodology of Highway Engineering Structural Design and Construction written by Hanhua Zhu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book mainly studies the methodologies of structural design and construction for highway engineering, which are applicable to the overall control and the precise operation of engineering structures. It explores the method of comprehensive analysis, the simplification of complex problems, and the application of typical engineering tools. In turn, the book presents a number of innovative approaches, e.g. the coordinated control of structural deformation method, the theory of underground engineering balance and stability, and the soft soil foundation treatment of “bumping at the bridgehead.” These methodologies are then illustrated in typical cases and representative problems, explained from a practical standpoint. Examples in special settings are also discussed, e.g. highway construction in Tibet, and rebuilding after the Wenchuan earthquake. The book offers a valuable reference guide for all those whose work involves highway engineering design, construction, management, and scientific research.
