Concrete Block Pavement for Low Volume Roads
Concrete block pavement (CBP) is a durable pavement for carrying light as well as heavy loads, and it is being used widely for construction of city streets, parking places, gas stations, container stacking yards, residential areas and low volume roads. This paper presents the findings of a laboratory investigation on structural behaviour of CBP. Plate load and Accelerated Pavement tests were ca...
متن کاملO1: Roads Safety and Neurotrauma
Road traffic accidents account for approximately 3000 deaths on a daily basis, and 50 million injuries and 1.2 million deaths each year. In low-income and middle income countries, road traffic accidents account for 85% of deaths and 90% of annual disability. Casualties of this magnitude are a serious problem throughout the world and create a significant impact on society. In addition, neurologi...
متن کاملGuidelines for Signing and Marking of Low-volume Rural Roads
Existing standards and guidelines for the application of signs and markings are unsuited and inefficient for use on low-volume rural roads (less than 400 A D T ). T o alleviate this inadequacy, several potentially hazardous situations were evaluated to ascertain actual needs for signs and markings as they relate to economy and safety. These evaluations were based on recent research and on proba...
متن کاملPrivate-Public Partnership for low volume roads: the Swedish Private Roads Associations
Private road associations (PRAs) manage two thirds of the road network in Sweden. They manage the roads at less cost and with better results than the Government road agencies. In fact, the PRAs perform so well that some urban municipalities request the associations to manage the municipal roads which connect to the private roads. There are also PRAs that are responsible for ferry services, for ...
متن کاملGeocell-Reinforced Crushed Stone Base for Low-Volume Roads
Crushed stone bases are widely used for low-volume roads. However, shear strength of the crushed stone materials can be vastly improved by confining the material in geocellular confinement systems or geocells. Geocells are 3-dimensional honeycomb-like structures. The objective of this study was to test a geocell design with crushed stone (AB-3) in-fill and a thin hot-mix asphalt (HMA) surface l...
