英文翻译Flexible pavement designGenerally speaking,pavements(and bases) may be divided into two broad classifications or tipes:rigid and flexible. As commonly used in the United States,the term “rigid pavement”is applied to wearing surfaces constructed of Portland-cement concrete. A pavement constructed of concrete is assumed to possess considerable flexural strength that will permit it to act as a beam and allow it to bridge over minor irregularities which may occor in the base or subgrade on which it rests;hence the term “rigid”.Similarity,a concrete base that supports a brick or block layer might be described as “rigid”.All other types of pavement have traditionally been classed as “flexible”.A commonly used definition is that “a flexible pavement is a structure that maintains contact with and distributes loads to the subgrade and depends on aggregate interlock,particlefriction,and cohesion for stability”.Thus,the classical flexible pavement include primarily those pavement that are composed of a series of granular layers topped by a relatively thin high-quality bituminous wearing surface .Typically,the highest-quatily materials are at or near the surface.It should be pointed out that certain pavementsthat have an asphalt surface may behave more like the classical “rigid”pavement,for example, pavement that have very thick asphalt surface or that have base courses composed of aggregate treated with asphalt,cement, or lime-fly ash. However,for convenience of presentation,these pavements will be considered to be in the flexible class.The structure of flexible pavement is composed of a “wearing surface”, base, subbase(not always used), and subgrade . The wearing surface and the base often comprise two or more layers that are somewhat different in composition and that are put down in separate construction operations.On many heavy-duty pavements,asubbase of select material is often placed between the base and subgrade.the wearing surface may range in thickness from less than 1 in. in the case of a bituminous surface used for low-cost, light-traffic loads to 6 in. or more of alphaltconcrete used for heavily traveled routes. The wearing surface must be capable of withstanding the wear and abrasive effects of moving vehicles and must possess sufficient stability to prevent it from shoving and rutting under traffic loads. In addition,it serves a useful purpose in preventing the entrance of excessive quantities of surface water into the base subgrade from directly above.The base is a layer (or layers) of very high stability and density. Its principle purpose is to distribute or “spread” the stresses created by wheel loads acting on the wearing surface so that the stresses transmitted to the subgrade will not be sufficiently great to result in excessive deformation or displacement of that foundation layer. The base must also be of such character that it is not damaged by capillary water and/or frost action. Locally available materials are extensively used for base construction, and materials preferred for this type of construction vary wwidely in different sections of the country. For example, the base may be composed of gravel or crushed rock or it may bae a granular material treated with asphalt,cement,or lime-fly ash stabilizing agents.Asubbase of granular material or stabilized material may be used in areas where frost action is severe, in locations where the subgrade soil is extremely weak. It may also be used , in the interests of economy ,in locations where suitable subbase material are cheap than base materials of higher quality.The subgrade is the foundation layer, the structure that must eventually support all the loads which come onto the pavement. In some cases this layer will simply be the natural earth surface. In other or more usual instances it will be compacted soil existing in a cut section or the upper layer of an embankment section. In the fundamental concept of the action of flexible pavement,the combined thickness of subbase (if used), base, and wearing surface must be great enough to reduce the stresses occuring in the subgrade to values that are not sufficiently great to cause excessive distortion or displacement of the subgrade soil layer.The principle factors entering into the problem of the thickness design of flexible pavement are:(1)Traffic loading.(2)Climate or environment.(3)Material characteristics.A number of other elements must also be considered in order to arrive at a final thickness design. This include cost, construction, maintenance,an design period. Thus, the students should realize that the design process is complex, and it is highly unlikely that any extremely simple method of approach will prove entirely successful under all conditions.Protection of the subgrade from the loading imposed by traffic is one of the primariy functions of a pavement structure. The designer must privide a pavement that can withstand a large number of repeated applications of variable-magnitude loading.The magnitude of maximum loading is commonly controlled by legal load limits. Traffic surveys and loadometer studies are often used to establish the relative magnitude and occurrence of the various loading to which a pavement is subjected. Prediction or estimation of the total traffic that will use a pavement during its design ife is a very difficult but obviously important task.The climate or environment in which a flexible pavement is to be established has an important influence on the behavior and performance of the various in the pavement and subgrade. Probablly the two climate factors of major significance are temperature and moisture.The magnitude of temperature and its fluctuations affect the properties of certain materials. For example, high temperatures cause asphaltic concrete to lose stability whereas at low temperatures asphaltic concrete becomes very hard and stiff. Low temperature and temperature fluctuations are also associated with frost heave and freeze-thaw damage.Granular materials, if not properly graded, can experience frost heave. Likewise, the subgrade can exhibit extensive loss in strength if it becomes frozen. Certain stabilized materials (lime, cement, and lime-fly ash treated) can suffer substantial damage if a large number of freeze-thaw cycles occur in the material.Moisture also has an important influence on the behavior and performance ofmany materials. Moisture is an important ingredient in frost-related damage. Subgrade soils and other paving materials weaken appreciably when saturated, and certain clayey soil exhibit substantial moisture-included volume change.Subgrade moisture conditions change is affecting road structural strength, stiffness and stability of the important factors. Subgrade moisture influence has the following main factors: atmospheric precipitation and evaporation, infiltration of surface water, groundwater impact, temperature changes caused by humidity. Cyclical atmospheric temperature changes throughout the year, day and night temperatures for each day a certain extent cyclical changes. Surface directly exposed to the air, and experiencing the impact of these changes, in particular surface material most affected. Road surface temperature change with the weather temperature is roughly synchronized. Surface layer temperature at different depths within the same generation as the cyclical changes in atmospheric temperature, but the magnitude of change increases with the depth gradually decreased.One of frost damage is frozen, it not only affects the normal running of vehicles, and sometimes the destruction of the pavement structure. Produce frost heave for two reasons: First, as water is frozen, the volume will increase by 9%; second is due to the weak foundation soil to freeze the area with water movement results. Subgrade frost heaving caused by three factors: the sensitivity of frozen soil subgrade; temperature decreased slowly; groundwater supply of water to keep the frozen zone.The advent of spring, began to melt the frozen roadbed, will lose their bearing capacity of soil, leading to road damage, a phenomenon known as the spring melt boil, boil and mainly due to the melting process is top down, when the embankment top soil begins to melt, the water can not be excluded, so the soil has been saturated melting. If by this time a large number of heavy vehicles, road structure would be seriously damaged.Of the road is a sticky, elastic-plastic materials and the combination of mineral aggregate particles consisting of roads, including the addition of cement concrete as a surface layer and the surface structure of a variety of other grass-roots level. Flexible pavement design including pavement layer combination of design, structuralcalculation and the road pavement material mix design. This chapter elaborates the following aspects: elastic layered system theory, the pavement layer combination of design principles, road design standards and parameters, calculation of pavement thickness and the bending stress check.In reality, the road base material and the soil is not in any case have elastic properties. Non-linear elastic - viscous - plastic theory, under certain conditions more accurately describe the stress state of the road, but taking into account the role of the transient driving wheels in the pavement structure, the stress was small, so you can road as each layer is an ideal elastic body, multi-layer linear elastic theory to application to design calculations. Multi-layer linear elastic theory must be used the following basic assumptions:yers of material are continuous, homogeneous, isotropic and to obey Hooke's law, and the displacement and deformation is small;2. The next level (soil basis) in the horizontal direction and vertical direction down to infinity, The elastic layer is above all have a certain thickness, but the horizontal direction is infinite;3. layers of infinite distance in the horizontal direction and the next layer down to infinite depths, the stress, strain and displacement is zero;4. layers the contact conditions between fully continuous;5. do not count weight.Flexible Pavement Structure Design's mission is to design principles in general under the guidance of the road, according to the road level, requirements and design life of the cumulative equivalent standard axle load axle, considering the supply of road materials, the degree of influence of natural factors and the specific construction conditions, determine a reasonable level of the pavement structure and select the appropriate economic composition materials, combined into both withstand traffic loads and the role of natural factors, but also give full play to the maximum performance of structural materials, subgrade layer pavement system. Combination of flexible pavement structural design should follow the following basic principles:1, route, embankment, road do take into consideration the overall design;2, according to the structure, function and transport layer characteristics of selected structural levels;3, the strength to adapt to traffic load and stiffness combination;4, pay attention to its own characteristics each layer, make layer combination;5, the appropriate number of layers and thickness;6, to consider the impact of water temperature conditions to ensure stability.柔性路面设计一般来讲,路面(和路基)可以分为两种类型:刚性路面和柔性路面。
中英文对照外文翻译文献(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)英文原文:The Basics of a Good RoadWe have known how to build good roads for a long time. Archaeologists have found ancient Egyptian roadsthat carried blocks to the pyramids in 4600 BCE. Later,the Romans built an extensive road system, using the same principles we use today. Some of these roads are still in service.If you follow the basic concepts of road building, you will create a road that will last. The ten commandments of a good road are:(1)Get water away from the road(2)Build on a firm foundation(3)Use the best materials(4)Compact all layers properly(5)Design for traffic loads and volumes(6)Design for maintenance(7)Pave only when ready(8)Build from the bottom up(9)Protect your investment(10)Keep good records1.Get water away from the roadWe can’t overemphasize the importance of good drainage.Engineers estimate that at least 90% of a road’s problems can be related to excess water or to poor waterdrainage. Too much water in any layer of a road’sstructure can weaken that layer, leading to failure.In the surface layer, water can cause cracks and potholes. In lower layers it undermines support, causing cracks and potholes. A common sign of water in an asphalt road surface is alligator cracking — an interconnected pattern of cracks forming small irregular shaped pieces that look like alligator skin. Edge cracking, frost heaves, and spring breakup of pavements also point to moisture problems.To prevent these problems remember that water:• flows downhill• needs to flow someplace• is a problem if it is not flowingEffective drainage systems divert, drain and dispose of water. To do this they use interceptor ditches and slopes,road crowns, and ditch and culvert systems.Divert —Interceptor ditches, located between the road and higher ground along the road, keep the water from reaching the roadway. These ditches must slope so they carry water away from the road.Drain —Creating a crown in the road so it is higher along the centerline than at the edges encourages water to flow off the road. Typically a paved crown should be 1⁄4" higher than the shoulder for each foot of width from the centerline to the edge. For gravel surfaces the crown should be 1⁄2" higher per foot of width. For this flow path to work, the road surface must be relatively water tight. Road shoulders also must be sloped away from the road to continue carrying the flow away. Superelevations (banking) at the outside of curves will also help drainthe road surface.Dispose —A ditch and culvert system carries water away from the road structure. Ditches should be at least one foot lower than the bottom of the gravel road layer that drains the roadway. They must be kept clean and must be sloped to move water into natural drainage. If water stays in the ditches it can seep back into the road structure and undermine its strength. Ditches should also be protected from erosion by planting grass, or installing rock and other erosion control measures. Erosion can damage shoulders and ditches, clog culverts, undermine roadbeds, and contaminate nearby streams and lakes. Evaluate your ditch and culvert system twice a year to ensure that it works. In the fall, clean out leaves and branches that can block flow. In spring, check for and remove silts from plowing and any dead plant material left from the fall.2.Build on a firm foundationA road is only as good as its foundation. A highway wears out from the top down but falls apart from the bottom. The road base must carry the entire structure and the traffic that uses it.To make a firm foundation you may need to stabilize the roadbed with chemical stabilizers, large stone called breaker run, or geotextile fabric. When you run into conditions where you suspect that the native soil is unstable, work with an engineer to investigate the situation and design an appropriate solution.3.Use the best materialsWith all road materials you “pay now or pay later.” Inferior materials may require extensive maintenance throughout the road’s life. They may also force you to replace the road prematurely.Crushed aggregate is the best material for the base course. The sharp angles of thecrushed material interlock when they are compacted. This supports the pavement and traffic by transmitting the load from particle to particle. By contrast, rounded particles act like ballbearings, moving under loads.Angular particles are more stable than rounded particles.Asphalt and concrete pavement materials must be of the highest quality, designed for the conditions, obtained from established firms, and tested to ensure it meets specifications. 4.Compact all layersIn general, the more densely a material is compacted, the stronger it is. Compaction alsoshrinks or eliminates open spaces (voids) between particles. This means that less water can enter the structure. Water in soil can weaken the structure or lead to frost heaves. This is especially important for unsurfaced (gravel) roads. Use gravel which has a mix of sizes (well-graded aggregate) so smaller particles can fill the voids between larger ones. Goodcompaction of asphalt pavement lengthens its life.5.Design for traffic loads and volumesDesign for the highest anticipated load the road will carry. A road that has been designed only for cars will not stand up to trucks. One truck with 9 tons on a single rear axle does as much damage to a road as nearly 10,000 cars.Rural roads may carry log trucks, milk trucks, fire department pumper trucks, or construction equipment. If you don’t know what specific loads the road will carry, a good rule of thumb is to design for the largest piece of highway maintenance equipment that will be used on the road.A well-constructed and maintained asphalt road should last 20 years without major repairs or reconstruction. In designing a road, use traffic counts that project numbers and sizes of vehicles 20 years into the future. These are only projections, at best, but they will allow you to plan for traffic loadings through a road’s life.6.Design for maintenanceWithout maintenance a road will rapidly deteriorate and fail. Design your roads so they can be easily maintained. This means:• adequate ditches that can be cleaned regularly• culverts that are marked for easy locating in the spring• enough space for snow after it is plowed off the road• proper cross slopes for safety, maintenance and to avoid snow drifts• roadsi des that are planted or treated to prevent erosion• roadsides that can be mowed safelyA rule of thumb for adequate road width is to make it wide enough for a snowplow to pass another vehicle without leaving the travelled way.Mark culverts with a post so they can be located easily.7.Pave only when readyIt is not necessary to pave all your roads immediately. There is nothing wrong with a well-built and wellmaintained gravel road if traffic loads and volume do not require a paved surface. Three hundred vehicles per day is the recommended minimum to justify paving.Don’t assume that laying down asphalt will fix a gravel road that is failing. Before you pave, make sure you have an adequate crushed stone base that drains well and is properly compacted. The recommended minimum depth of crushed stone base is 10" depending on subgrade soils. A road paved only when it is ready will far outperform one that is constructed too quickly.8.Ê Build from the bottom upThis commandment may seem obvious, but it means that you shouldn’t top dress or resurface a road if the problem is in an underlying layer. Before you do any road improvement, locate the cause of any surface problems. Choose an improvement technique that will address the problem. This may mean recycling or removing all road materials down to the native soil and rebuilding everything. Doing any work that doesn’t solve the problem is a waste of money and effort.9.Ê Protect your investmentThe road system can be your municipality’s biggest investment. Just as a home needs painting or a new roof, a road must be maintained. Wisconsin’s severe climate requires more road maintenance than in milder places. Do these important maintenance activities: Surface —grade, shape, patch, seal cracks, control dust, remove snow and iceDrainage —clean and repair ditches and culverts; remove all excess materialRoadside —cut brush, trim trees and roadside plantings, control erosionTraffic service —clean and repair or replace signsDesign roads with adequate ditches so they can be maintained with a motor grader. Clean and grade ditches to maintain proper pitch and peak efficiency. After grading, remove all excess material from the shoulder.10.Keep good recordsYour maintenance will be more efficient with good records.

土木工程学院交通工程专业中英文翻译Road Design专业:交通工程英文原文The Basics of a Good RoadWe have known how to build good roads for a long time. Archaeologists have found ancient Egyptian roadsthat carried blocks to the pyramids in 4600 BCE. Later,the Romans built an extensive road system, using the same principles we use today. Some of these roads are still in service.If you follow the basic concepts of road building, you will create a road that will last. The ten commandments of a good road are:(1)Get water away from the road(2)Build on a firm foundation(3)Use the best materials(4)Compact all layers properly(5)Design for traffic loads and volumes(6)Design for maintenance(7)Pave only when ready(8)Build from the bottom up(9)Protect your investment(10)Keep good records1.Get water away from the roadWe can’t overemphasize the importance of good drainage.Engineers estimate that at least 90% of a road’s problems can be related to excess water or to poor waterdrainage. Too much water in any layer of a road’sstructure can weaken that la yer, leading to failure.In the surface layer, water can cause cracks and potholes. In lower layers it undermines support, causing cracks and potholes. A common sign of water in an asphalt road surface is alligator cracking — an interconnected pattern of cracks forming small irregular shaped pieces that look like alligator skin. Edge cracking, frost heaves, and spring breakup of pavements also point to moistureproblems.To prevent these problems remember that water:• flows downhill• needs to flow somepla ce• is a problem if it is not flowingEffective drainage systems divert, drain and dispose of water. To do this they use interceptor ditches and slopes,road crowns, and ditch and culvert systems.Divert —Interceptor ditches, located between the road and higher ground along the road, keep the water from reaching the roadway. These ditches must slope so they carry water away from the road.Drain —Creating a crown in the road so it is higher along the centerline than at the edges encourages water to flow off the road. Typically a paved crown should be 1⁄4" higher than the shoulder for each foot of width from the centerline to the edge. For gravel surfaces the crown should be 1⁄2" higher per foot of width. For this flow path to work, the road surface must be relatively water tight. Road shoulders also must be sloped away from the road to continue carrying the flow away. Superelevations (banking) at the outside of curves will also help drainthe road surface.Dispose —A ditch and culvert system carries water away from the road structure. Ditches should be at least one foot lower than the bottom of the gravel road layer that drains the roadway. They must be kept clean and must be sloped to move water into natural drainage. If water stays in the ditches it can seep back into the road structure and undermine its strength. Ditches should also be protected from erosion by planting grass, or installing rock and other erosion control measures. Erosion can damage shoulders and ditches, clog culverts, undermine roadbeds, and contaminate nearby streams and lakes. Evaluate your ditch and culvert system twice a year to ensure that it works. In the fall, clean out leaves and branches that can block flow. In spring, check for and remove silts from plowing and any dead plant material left from the fall.2.Build on a firm foundationA road is only as good as its foundation. A highway wears out from the top down but falls apart from the bottom. The road base must carry the entire structure and the traffic that uses it.To make a firm foundation you may need to stabilize the roadbed with chemical stabilizers, large stone called breaker run, or geotextile fabric. When you run into conditions where you suspect that the native soil is unstable, work with an engineer to investigate the situation and design an appropriate solution.3.Use the best materialsWith all road materials you “pay now or pay later.” Inferior materials may require extensive maintenance throughout the road’s life. They may also force you to replace the road prematurely.Crushed aggregate is the best material for the base course. The sharp angles of thecrushed material interlock when they are compacted. This supports the pavement and traffic by transmitting the load from particle to particle. By contrast, rounded particles act like ballbearings, moving under loads.Angular particles are more stable than rounded particles.Asphalt and concrete pavement materials must be of the highest quality, designed for the conditions, obtained from established firms, and tested to ensure it meets specifications.4.Compact all layersIn general, the more densely a material is compacted, the stronger it is. Compaction also shrinks or eliminates open spaces (voids) between particles. This means that less water can enter the structure. Water in soil can weaken the structure or lead to frost heaves. This is especially important for unsurfaced (gravel) roads. Use gravel which has a mix of sizes (well-graded aggregate) so smaller particles can fill the voids between larger ones. Goodcompaction of asphalt pavement lengthens its life.5.Design for traffic loads and volumesDesign for the highest anticipated load the road will carry. A road that has been designed only for cars will not stand up to trucks. One truck with 9 tons on a single rear axle does as much damage to a road as nearly 10,000 cars.Rural roads may carry log trucks, milk trucks, fire department pumper trucks, or construction equipment. If you don’t know what specific loads the road will carry, a good rule of thumb is to design for the largest piece of highway maintenance equipment that will be used on the road.A well-constructed and maintained asphalt road should last 20 years without major repairs or reconstruction. In designing a road, use traffic counts that project numbers and sizes of vehicles 20 years into the future. These are only projections, at best, but they will allow you to plan for traffic loadings through a road’s life.6.Design for maintenanceWithout maintenance a road will rapidly deteriorate and fail. Design your roads so they can be easily maintained. This means:• adequate ditches that can be cleaned regularly• culverts that are marked for easy locating in the spring• enough space for snow after it is plowed off the road• proper cross slopes for safet y, maintenance and to avoid snow drifts• roadsides that are planted or treated to prevent erosion• roadsides that can be mowed safelyA rule of thumb for adequate road width is to make it wide enough for a snowplow to pass another vehicle without leaving the travelled way.Mark culverts with a post so they can be located easily.7.Pave only when readyIt is not necessary to pave all your roads immediately. There is nothing wrong with a well-built and wellmaintained gravel road if traffic loads and volume do not require a paved surface. Three hundred vehicles per day is the recommended minimum to justify paving.Don’t assume that laying down asphalt will fix a gravel road that is failing. Before you pave, make sure you have an adequate crushed stone base that drains well and is properly compacted. The recommended minimum depth of crushed stone base is 10" depending on subgrade soils. A road paved only when it is ready will far outperform one that is constructed too quickly.8.Ê Build from the bottom upThis commandment may seem obvious, but it means that you shouldn’t top dress or resurface a road if the problem is in an underlying layer. Before you do any road improvement, locate the cause of any surface problems. Choose an improvement technique that will address the problem. This may mean recycling or removing all road materials down to the native soil and rebuilding everything. Doing any work that doesn’t solve the problem is a waste of money and effort.9.Ê Protect your investmentThe road system can be your municipality’s biggest investment. Just as a home needs painting or a new roof, a road must be maintained. Wisconsin’s severe climate requires more road maintenance than in milder places. Do these important maintenance activities: Surface —grade, shape, patch, seal cracks, control dust, remove snow and iceDrainage —clean and repair ditches and culverts; remove all excess materialRoadside —cut brush, trim trees and roadside plantings, control erosionTraffic service —clean and repair or replace signsDesign roads with adequate ditches so they can be maintained with a motor grader. Clean and grade ditches to maintain proper pitch and peak efficiency. After grading, remove all excess material from the shoulder.10.Keep good recordsYour maintenance will be more efficient with good records. Knowing the road’s construction, life, and repair history makes it much easier to plan and budget its future repairs. Records can also help you evaluate the effectiveness of the repair methods and materials you used.Good record keeping starts with an inventory of the system. It should include the history and surface condition of the roadway, identify and evaluate culverts and bridges, note ditch conditions, shoulders, signs, and such structures as retaining walls and guardrails.Update your inventory each year or when you repair or change a road section.

原文Highway Design and Construction: The Innovation Challenge Author: Robert E. Skinner Jr.Innovations and advances in research are changing the way highways are built in America.The Egyptians were pouring concrete in 2500 BC, and the Romans used it to construct the Pantheon and the Colosseum. By the mid-1800s, Europeans were building bridges with concrete, and the first “modern” concrete highway pavements appear ed in the latter part of the 19th century. Naturally occurring asphalts, which have been used for waterproofing for thousands of years, came into common use in road construction in the 1800s. The first iron bridge was constructed in 1774, but by the end of the 19th century steel had largely replaced iron in bridge construction. These materials—concrete, asphalt, and steel—are now the mainstays of highway and bridge construction throughout the world, as well as of most types of public works infrastructure. Concrete and steel, the most versatile of these materials, are used for bridges and other highway structures; concrete and asphalt are used for roadway pavements.Everyone is familiar with concrete, asphalt, and steel, and some of us have worked with them, perhaps on home improvement projects. This familiarity, coupled with the long history of their many uses, has led many otherwise technically savvy people to believe that these materials are well understood, that their performance can be easily and reliably predicted, and that the technical challenges in using them for highways were overcome long ago. However, such notions are largely incorrect and misleading.For example, consider concrete, which is a mixture of portland cement, sand, aggregate (gravel or crushed stone), and water. Its performance characteristics are determined by the proportions and characteristics of the components, as well as by how it is mixed and formed. The underlying chemical reactions of concrete are surprisingly complex, not completely understood, and vary with the type of stone. Steel may be added for tensile strength (reinforced concrete), and a variety of additives have been identified to improve the workabilityand performance of concrete in particular applications and conditions. Damage and deterioration to concrete can result from excessive loadings and environmental conditions, such as freeze-thaw cycles and chemical reactions with salts used for deicing._________________________Many factors contribute to theurgent need for innovation inhighway construction._________________________Concrete is the most heavily used substance in the world after water (Sedgwick, 1991). Worldwide, concrete construction annually consumes about 1.6 billion tons of cement, 10 billion tons of sand and crushed stone, and 1 billion tons of water (M.S. Kahn, 2007). Given transportation costs, there is a huge financial incentive to using local sources of stone, even if the properties of that stone are less than ideal. Thus concrete is not a homogenous material. In truth, an unlimited number of combinations and permutations are possible.Much the same can be said of asphalt—technically, asphaltic concrete—which is also a mixture of aggregate (gravel or crushed stone), sand, and cement (asphalt binder); economics promote the use of locally available materials; and the underlying chemistry is not well understood. The characteristics of asphalt binder, for instance, vary depending on the source of crude oil from which it is derived.The metallurgy of steel is probably better understood than the chemistry of either asphalt or concrete, but it too is a mixture with virtually limitless combinations. Strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and weldability are some of the performance characteristics that vary with the type of steel alloy used and the intended applications.As uses evolve and economic conditions change, we have a continuing need for a more sophisticated understanding of these common materials. Even though they are “mature” products, there is still room for significant incremental improvements in their performance. Because fundamental knowledge is still wanting, there is also considerable potential for breakthroughs in their performance.Factors That Affect Highway ConstructionAll other things being equal, stronger, longer lasting, less costly highway materials are desirable and, given the quantities involved, there are plenty of incentives for innovation. In highway transportation, however, all other things are not equal. A number of other factors contribute to the urgent and continuing need for innovation.First, traffic volume and loadings continue to increase. Every day the U.S. highway network carries more traffic, including heavy trucks that were unimagined when the system wasoriginally conceived and constructed. The 47,000-mile interstate highway system today carries more traffic than the entire U.S. highway system carried in 1956 when the interstates were laid out. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) estimates that in metropolitan areas the annual cost of traffic congestion for businesses and citizens is nearly $170 billion (PB Consult, Inc., 2007).On rural interstates, overall traffic more than doubled between 1970 and 2005; at the same time, the loadings on those highways increased six-fold, mainly due to the increase in the number of trucks and the number of miles they travel. (Truck traffic increased from about 5.7 percent of all vehicle-miles traveled on U.S. highways in 1965 to 7.5 percent in 2000 [FHWA, 2005]).Second, traffic disruptions must be kept to a minimum during construction. Our overstressed highway system is not very resilient. Thus disruptions of any sort, such as lane and roadway closings, especially in major metropolitan areas and on key Interstate routes, can cause massive traffic snarls. This means that repair and reconstruction operations must often be done at night, which introduces a variety of additional complexities and safety issues. Occasionally, heroic measures must be taken to keep traffic moving during construction. For example, during construction of the “Big Dig” in Boston, the elevated Central Artery was in continuous service while cut-cover tunnels were constructed directly below it.Third, environmental, community, and safety requirements have become more stringent. For many good reasons, expectations of what a highway should be, how it should operate, and how it should interact with the environment and adjacent communities are constantly evolving. Designs to promote safety, measures to mitigate a growing list of environmental impacts, and attention to aesthetics have fundamentally changed the scope of major highway projects in the United States. For example, on Maryland’s $2.4 billion Intercounty Connector project in suburban Washington, D.C., which is now under construction, environmental mitigation accounts for 15 percent of project costs, or about $15 million per mile (AASHTO, 2008). Fourth, costs continue to rise. Building and maintaining highways cost effectively is an ever-present goal of good engineering. But cost increases in highway construction have been extraordinary due in part to the expanded scope of highway projects and construction in demanding settings. In addition, the costs of the mainstay materials—portland cement, asphalt binder, and steel—have risen dramatically as the world, particularly China, has gone on a construction binge. The Federal Highway Administration’s cost indices for portland cement concrete pavement, asphalt pavement, and structural steel increased by 51 percent, 58 percent, and 70 percent respectively between 1995 and 2005 (FHWA, 2006).Fortunately, research and innovation in construction have never stopped, although they are not always sufficiently funded and they seem to fly beneath the radar of many scientists and engineers. Nevertheless, there have been great successes, which are cumulatively changing how highways are built in America.The Superpave Design SystemIn response to widespread concerns about premature failures of hot-mix asphalt pavements in the early 1980s, a well funded, congressionally mandated, crash research program was conducted to improve our understanding of asphalt pavements and their performance. The seven-year Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), which was managed by the National Research Council, developed a new system of standard specifications, test methods, andengineering practices for the selection of materials and the mix proportions for hot-mix asphalt pavement.The new system has improved matches between combinations of asphalt binder and crushed stone and the climatic and traffic conditions on specific highways. State departments of transportation (DOTs) spend more than $10 billion annually on these pavements, so even modest improvements in pavement durability and useful life can lead to substantial cost savings for agencies and time savings for motorists (TRB, 2001).SHRP rolled out the Superpave system in 1993, but it took years for individual states and their paving contractors to switch to the new system, which represents a significant departure, not only in design, but also in the procedures and equipment used for testing. Each state DOT had to be convinced that the benefits would outweigh the modest additional costs of Superpave mixes, as well as the time and effort to train its staff and acquire necessary equipment.A survey in 2005 showed that 50 state DOTs (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) were using Superpave (Figure 1). The remaining two states indicated that they would be doing so by the end of 2006. Throughout the implementation period, researchers continued to refine the system (e.g., using recycled asphalt pavements in the mix design [TRB, 2005]).It may be years before the cost benefits of Superpave can be quantified. A 1997 study by the Te xas Transportation Institute projected that, when fully implemented, Superpave’s annualized net savings over 20 years would approach $1.8 billion annually—approximately $500 million in direct savings to the public and $1.3 billion to highway users (Little et al., 1997).Moreover, analyses by individual states and cities have found that Superpave has dramatically improved performance with little or no increase in cost. Superpave is not only an example of a successful research program. It also demonstrates that a vigorous, sustained technology-transfer effort is often required for innovation in a decentralized sector, such as highway transportation.Prefabricated ComponentsThe offsite manufacturing of steel and other components of reinforced concrete for bridges and tunnels is nothing new. But the need for reconstructing or replacing heavily used highway facilities has increased the use of prefabricated components in startling ways. In some cases components are manufactured thousands of miles from the job site; in others, they are manufactured immediately adjacent to the site. Either way, we are rethinking how design and construction can be integrated.When the Texas Department of Transportation needed to replace 113 bridge spans on an elevated interstate highway in Houston, it found that the existing columns were reusable, but the bent caps (the horizontal connections between columns) had to be replaced. As an alternative to the conventional, time-consuming, cast-in-place approach, researchers at the University of Texas devised new methods of installing precast concrete bents. In this project, the precast bents cut construction time from 18 months to slightly more than 3 months (TRB, 2001).As part of a massive project to replace the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the California Department of Transportation and the Bay Area Toll Authority had to replace a 350-foot, 10-lane section of a viaduct on Yerba Buena Island. In this case, the contractor, C.C. Myers, prefabricated the section immediately adjacent to the existing viaduct. The entire bridge was then shut down for the 2007 Labor Day weekend, while the existing viaduct was demolished and the new 6,500-ton segment was “rolled” into place (Figure 2). The entire operation was accomplished 11 hours ahead of schedule (B. Kahn, 2007).Probably the most extensive and stunning collection of prefabricated applications on a single project was on the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (“Big Dig”) in Boston. For the Ted Williams Tunnel, a dozen 325-foot-long steel tunnel sections were constructed in Baltimore, shipped to Boston, floated into place, and then submerged. However, for the section of the tunnel that runs beneath the Four Points Channel, which is part of the I-90 extension, bridge restrictions made this approach infeasible. Instead, a huge casting basin was constructed adjacent to the channel where 30- to 50-ton concrete tunnel sections were manufactured The basin was flooded and the sections winched into position with cables and then submerged.An even more complicated process was used to build the extension tunnel under existing railroad tracks, which had poor underlying soil conditions. Concrete and steel boxes were built at one end of the tunnel, then gradually pushed into place through soil that had been frozen using a network of brine-filled pipes (Vanderwarker, 2001).Specialty Portland Cement ConcretesNew generations of specialty concretes have improved one or more aspects of performance and allow for greater flexibility in highway design and construction. High-performance concrete typically has compressive strengths of at least 10,000 psi. Today, ultra-high-performance concretes with formulations that include silica fume, quartz flour, water reducers, and steel or organic fibers have even greater durability and compressive strengths up to 30,000 psi. These new concretes can enable construction with thinner sections and longer spans (M.S. Kahn, 2007).Latex-modified concrete overlays have been used for many years to extend the life of existing, deteriorating concrete bridge decks by the Virginia DOT, which pioneered the use of very early strength latex-modified concretes for this application. In high-traffic situations, the added costs of the concrete have been more than offset by savings in traffic-control costs and fewer delays for drivers (Sprinkel, 2006).When the air temperature dips below 40, costly insulation techniques must be used when pouring concrete for highway projects. By using commercially available admixtures that depress the freezing point of water, the U.S. Cold-Weather Research and Engineering Laboratory has developed new concrete formulations that retain their strength and durability at temperatures as low as 23?F. Compared to insulation techniques, this innovation has significantly decreased construction costs and extended the construction season in cold weather regions (Korhonen, 2004).As useful as these and other specialty concretes are, nanotechnology and nanoengineering techniques, which are still in their infancy, have the potential to make even more dramatic improvements in theperformance and cost of concrete.Waste and Recycled MaterialsHighway construction has a long history of using industrial waste and by-product materials. The motivations of the construction industry were simple—to help dispose of materials that are otherwise difficult to manage and to reduce the initial costs of highway construction. The challenge has been to use these materials in ways that do not compromise critical performance properties and that do not introduce substances that are potenti-ally harmful to people or the environment. At the same time, as concerns about sustainability have become more prominent in public thinking, the incentives to use by-product materials have increased. In addition, because the reconstruction and resurfacing of highways create their own waste, recycling these construction materials makes economic and environmental sense.Research and demonstration projects have generated many successful uses of by-product and recycled materials in ways that simultaneously meet performance, environmental, and economic objectives. For example, “crumb rubber” from old tires is increasingly being used as an additive in certain hot-mix asphalt pavement designs, and a number of patents have been issued related to the production and design of crumb rubber or asphalt rubber pavements (CDOT, 2003; Epps, 1994).Several states, notably California and Arizona, use asphalt rubber hot mix as an overlay for distressed flexible and rigid pavements and as a means of reducing highway noise. Materials derived from discarded tires have also been successfully used as lightweight fill for highway embankments and backfill for retaining walls, as well as for asphalt-based sealers and membranes (Epps, 1994; TRB, 2001).Fly ash, a residue from coal-burning power plants, and silica fume, a residue from metal-producing furnaces, are increasingly being used as additives to portland cement concrete. Fly-ash concretes can reduce alkali-silica reactions that lead to the premature deterioration of concrete (Lane, 2001), and silica fume is a component of the ultra-high-performance concrete described above.After many years of experimentation and trials, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is now routinely used in virtually all 50 states as a substitute for aggregate and a portion of the asphalt binder in hot-mix asphalt, including Superpave mixes. The reclaimed material typically constitutes 25 to 50 percent of the “new” mix (TFHRC, 1998). The National Asphalt Pavement Association estimates that 90 percent of the asphalt pavement removed each year is recycled and that approximately 125 millions tons of RAP are produced, with an annual savings of $300 million (North Central Superpave Center, 2004).Visualization, Global Positioning Systems, and Other New Tools For more than 20 years, highway engineers have used two-dimensional, computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) systems to accelerate the design process and reduce costs. The benefits of CADD systems have derived essentially from automating the conventional design process, with engineers doing more or less what they had done before, although much faster and with greater flexibility.New generations of three- and four-dimensional systems are introducing new ways of designing roads, as well as building them (Figure 4). For example, three-dimensional visualization techniques are clearly useful for engineers. But, perhaps more importantly, they have improved the communication of potential designs to affected communities and public officials; in fact, they represent an entirely new design paradigm. Four-dimensional systems help engineers and contractors analyze the constructability of proposed designs well in advance of actual constructionGlobal positioning systems are being used in surveying/layout, in automated guidance systems for earth-moving equipment, and for monitoring quantities. Other innovations include in situ temperature sensors coupled with data storage, transmission, and processing devices that provide onsite information about the maturity and strength of concrete as it cures (Hannon, 2007; Hixson, 2006).ConclusionThe examples described above suggest the wide range of exciting innovations in the design and construction of highways. These innovations address materials, roadway and bridge designs, design and construction methods, road safety, and a variety of environmental, community, and aesthetic concerns. Looking to the future, however, challenges to the U.S. highway system will be even more daunting—accommodating more traffic and higher loadings; reducing traffic disruptions during construction; meeting more stringent environmental, community, and safety requirements; and continuing pressure to reduce costs. Addressing these challenges will require a commitment to innovation and the research that supports innovation.中文翻译高速公路设计与施工:创新的挑战作者:小罗伯特·E·斯金纳研究方式的创新和进步正在改变着美国公路建设的方式。

附录A 外文翻译A.1 原文CONSISTENCY IN DESIGN FOR LOW-VOLUMERURAL ROADS3By Clarkson H. Oglesby, H. M. ASCE (Reviewed by the Highway Division) ABSTRACT: The 2,000,000 miles of low-volume rural roads in the United States are different than the high-volume roads and should be designed differently. Traffic volumes on them are low, averaging about 110 vehicles/day or about one vehicle entering a given mile from both ends every three minutes during peak hours. This contrasts with one vehicle every four seconds at capacity. Geometries on many of these roads have not changed since they were built in the 1920s and 1930s. Today, road improvements should be based on designs that are consistent and safe, but economical, because needs are great and funds are scarce. Present-day design practices for high volume roads require that each of their features meet a stipulated design speed set by modern surfaces and vehicles. This practice does not fit the low-volume situation since, whenever possible, drivers will exceed any affordable design speed. They must be slowed down when situations warrant it. A consistent approach to design which realizes cheap but safe improvements to low-volume roads is proposed. It involves integrating geometric design and positive guidance approaches. Positive guidance employs striping, signing, and other devices and strategies to mobilize drivers' senses so that they will drive sensibly. Selecting the less costly between geometry and positive guidance techniques will produce safer roads more cheaply.INTRODUCTIONThere are approximately 3,200,000 mile (5,100,000 km) of rural roads in the United States. A rough estimate places some 2,000,000 (3,000,000km) of these in a low-volume category; this commonly includes those with average daily traffic less than 400 vehicles/day in both directions. On most of these roads volumes are considerably lower. One estimate places this average at 110 vehicles/day or a possible 20 in the peak hour. This means one vehicle every three minutes entering a given mile from both ends. In contrast, a major two-lane road, operating at capacity, will carry possibly 1,800 vehicles/hour so that a vehicle will enter a given mile every four seconds or 90 times as often.The money available to those responsible for high-volume roads is on the order of ten times as great per mile as for low-volume roads. It follows that strategies for new construction, upgrading, or maintenance of low-volume rural roads will be entirely different than for higher-volume roads, if the very limited money availablefor these purposes is to be used wisely.Given the uniqueness of the low-volume road problem, it seems appropriate to examine and possibly redefine what is meant by "consistency in design" for them. This paper attempts that task by examining the following topics as it applies to them:1. The origin and current status of local rural roads.2. How "consistency" in present-day geometric standards for new construction or renovation of low-volume roads has developed.3. Factors that have impinged on design standards for low-volume rural roads.4. Conclusions.ORIGIN AND CURRENT STATUS OF LOCAL RURAL ROADS For the purpose of this paper, local rural roads are those that provide access to and thereby support activities on rural lands. These include farming, ranching, recreation, and access to forests or other natural resources. This definition excludes those roads, once rural or near towns, that are now in suburbia.Relatively little mileage has been added to low-volume rural systems in the last 50 years. They were developed when the aim was "to get the farmer out of the mud." They are often characterized by narrow roadways and rights-of-way. In the middle west and west, where much of the land had been laid out in sections one mile square, rights-of-way were 66 ft (20 m). This width was dedicated to land access along the edges of adjacent sections. In the eastern states, many rights-of-way were narrower, often 33 ft (10 m) or less. In rolling or mountainous country, tortuous alignments were fitted closely to the contour of the ground. Today these often restrict speeds to 30 mile/hr (48 km/h) or less.In these earlier years, travel was mainly in horse-drawn vehicle. Even in the 1930s, when the last of these land-access roads were being constructed, speeds were low because neither vehicles nor road surfacings permitted fast travel. For reasons such as these, the concept of design speed did not exist. Today, the performance of motor vehicles is far different and the sizes and weights of trucks have increased dramatically. Furthermore, for possibly two-thirds of this low-volume rural mileage, gravel or earth surfaces have been paved, surface treated, or otherwise made relatively smooth and free of corrugations or dust. Presently, then, drivers expect to travel at higher speeds and only slow down when forced to do so by intersections or restricted vertical or horizontal alignment. On higher volume roads, many of which have been successively improved, this slowing is seldom required. And when it is, elaborate measures are taken to alert drivers. But this matching of improvements with speed has been far less frequent on low-volume rural roads because money has been scarce. Of that available, more than two-thirds (in 1978) has gone to maintenance and other purposes, leaving little for new construction or betterment.It would be untrue and unfair to say that those responsible for low-volume rural roads have done nothing to overcome this mismatch between driver expectations regarding speed and the roads. Through strategies such as spot improvements and scrounging money from their budgets and higher governmental levels for rebuilding certain roads, they have done much. But the gap still remains large. This, of course, applies not only to road geometry, but to surfacings and bridges as well.How CONSISTENCY IN PRESENT-DAY GEOMETRIC STANDARDS FOR NEWCONSTRUCTION OR RENOVATION OF LOW VOLUME RURAL ROADS HAS DEVELOPEDAs noted, most of the need for and geometries of low-volume rural roads developed fifty or more years ago to fit specific situations. Unless altered by maintenance, betterment, reconstruction, or complete replacement, they have changed little since. At that time, main rural roads were built to meet the same conditions and their geometry was not an issue. For example, as late as 1940, a leading highway engineering text book, by T. R. Agg (1), devotes only 22 pages to the entire subject of geometric design. In it Agg stated that "considerable latitude is allowable in adapting the design to the particular situation (which may be topographical, financial, or political) as long as the design does no violence to basic principles." Agg calls for "the exercise of originality and good engineering judgment—that does not necessarily follow stereotyped standards."It was at about this same time (1937) that AASHO (now AASHTO) created a Committee on Planning and Design Policies. Its aim was to incorporate, in practice, highway design features that would result in maximum safety and utility. From this effort, in the period 1938-1944, came seven policy statements on geometric design that were adopted by AASHO. These were consolidated without change in 1950 into a single volume, Policies on Geometric Highway Design (3). A reworking resulted in a 1954 document called A Policy on Geometric Design (4). This document, commonly called the Blue Book, was redone again and published in 1965 under the same title (5). In 1969, a publication applying more specifically to low-volume rural roads was issued (2). Since that time the appropriateness of these policies, which set standards for all aspects of geometric design, have been under almost continuous review and a comprehensive revision is under preparation.From the beginning, those responsible for developing standards for geometric design have been attempting to keep pace with changes in the characteristics of motor vehicles and the expectations of drivers. This has led to a substantial raising of design controls or features.FACTORS THAT HAVE IMPINGED ON GEOMETRIC STANDARDSFOR LOW-VOLUME RURAL ROADSIn tracing the development of geometric standards and their application over the years in terms of their impact on low-volume rural roads policies, several factors can be seen. These include the following:1. Low-volume road engineers or administrators have made few direct inputs into geometric standards. They have been developed by specialists in geometric design, most of them in the Federal Highway Administration. They were adopted after review by geometric-design specialists in the state highway agencies working through AASHTO. Because these agencies deal primarily with high-volume situations, it is claimed that their representatives are not sensitive to the low-volume road situation. For example, the standards for low-volume as well as those for high-volume roads were based on the "design speed" concept, which has been defined as "The maximumsafe speed that can be maintained over a specific section of highway when conditions are so favorable that the design features of the highway govern." This definition implies that only the "reckless few" among drivers will exceed the design speed anywhere along the road. But this is not the way drivers behave on low-volume rural roads. Rather, whenever possible, even on short stretches, they will accelerate to their "fear level" speed. This can well be 50 or 60 mph (80 or 96 km/h) on a road with a stipulated. design speed of 20 or 30 mph (32 or 48 km/h). The problem on such roads becomes one of slowing drivers down to safe speeds as they approach road sections over which they must travel slowly. It might be said that the low "design speeds" stipulated in the standards for certain low-volume roads provide justification and professional support for designers using less costly alternatives at specific locations so that scarce dollars can be spread over greater mileages. Otherwise the "design speed" concept has little meaning in the low-volume rural road situation.2. Standards, once adopted, can become a straitjacket that prevents low-volume road engineers from following Agg's recommendation from 1940 which, to repeat, was "to allow considerable latitude in adapting the design to particular situations (topographical, financial, or political)." This freedom began to disappear when higher-level agencies, because they controlled the money, could dictate design details. Low-volume road engineers sometimes partially overcame this difficulty by having two sets of standards. The more costly set is employed when money from higher-level agencies is involved. The less costly one, done with local funds, does not have a standard cross section, but calls for widening or other improvements at spot locations.A related issue is the influence of these rigid standards when injured motorists sue road agencies and their engineers for negligence when roads do not meet them. This is an important but unanswered question.3. There has been a widely held but unproved notion that by insisting that standards of geometric design be followed, accidents will be reduced. Unfortunately, given the large mileage on existing low-volume roads and scarce funds for improving their geometry, exercising this option is seldom possible. Rather, for low-volume roads, the view that "The design is inadequate and appears dangerous so accidents happen" must be replaced with the notion, "if it seems dangerous, take advantage of driver fear and caution in appropriate ways and accidents won't happen." CONCLUSIONThis paper, which deals with consistency in design standards for lowvolume rural roads, has traced the development for low-volume rural roads, most of which came into being when the aim was to get the farmer out of the mud. It indicated how high geometric design standards, which came later, were developed by those concerned with high volume roads, but who dictated their use because they controlled the money. It challenged the notion that "if it seems dangerous, accidents happen," and proposed that "if it seems dangerous, accidents don't happen." It pointed out that vehicle, road, and driver all combine in safe and efficient vehicle operation; and that as the level of improvement dropped, the driver's ability became more and more important. It described the concept of "positive guidance" and proposed that, at least for low-volume rural roads, consistency in design be redefined to include bothgeometry and positive guidance. Given measures of the relative costs and potential for accident reduction of geometry and guidance, choices could be made rationally.A.2 译文低流量农村公路的统一设计由Clarkson·奥格尔斯比,H. M.

英文原文The Basics of a Good RoadWe have known how to build good roads for a long time. Archaeologists have found ancient Egyptian roadsthat carried blocks to the pyramids in 4600 BCE. Later,the Romans built an extensive road system, using the same principles we use today. Some of these roads are still in service.If you follow the basic concepts of road building, you will create a road that will last. The ten commandments of a good road are:(1)Get water away from the road(2)Build on a firm foundation(3)Use the best materials(4)Compact all layers properly(5)Design for traffic loads and volumes(6)Design for maintenance(7)Pave only when ready(8)Build from the bottom up(9)Protect your investment(10)Keep good records1.Get water away from the roadWe ca n’t overemphasize the importance of good drainage.Engineers estimate that at least 90% of a road’s problems can be related to excess water or to poor waterdrainage. Too much water in any layer of a road’sstructure can weaken that layer, leading to failure.In the surface layer, water can cause cracks and potholes. In lower layers it undermines support, causing cracks and potholes. A common sign of water in an asphalt road surface is alligator cracking — an interconnected pattern of cracks forming small irregular shaped pieces that look like alligator skin. Edge cracking, frost heaves, and spring breakup of pavements also point to moisture problems.To prevent these problems remember that water:• flows downhill• needs to flow someplace• is a problem if it is not flowingEffective drainage systems divert, drain and dispose of water. To do this they use interceptor ditches and slopes,road crowns, and ditch and culvert systems.Divert —Interceptor ditches, located between the road and higher ground along the road, keep the water from reaching the roadway. These ditches must slope so they carry water away from the road.Drain —Creating a crown in the road so it is higher along the centerline than at the edges encourages water to flow off the road. Typically a paved crown should be 1⁄4" higher than the shoulder for each foot of width from the centerline to the edge. For gravel surfaces the crown should be 1⁄2" higher per foot of width. For this flow path to work, the road surface must be relatively water tight. Road shoulders also must be sloped away from the road to continue carrying the flow away. Superelevations (banking) at the outside of curves will also help drainthe road surface.Dispose —A ditch and culvert system carries water away from the road structure. Ditches should be at least one foot lower than the bottom of the gravel road layer that drains the roadway. They must be kept clean and must be sloped to move water into natural drainage. If water stays in the ditches it can seep back into the road structure and undermine its strength. Ditches should also be protected from erosion by planting grass, or installing rock and other erosion control measures. Erosion can damage shoulders and ditches, clog culverts, undermine roadbeds, and contaminate nearby streams and lakes. Evaluate your ditch and culvert system twice a year to ensure that it works. In the fall, clean out leaves and branches that can block flow. In spring, check for and remove silts from plowing and any dead plant material left from the fall.2.Build on a firm foundationA road is only as good as its foundation. A highway wears out from the top down but falls apart from the bottom. The road base must carry the entire structure and the traffic that uses it.To make a firm foundation you may need to stabilize the roadbed with chemical stabilizers, large stone called breaker run, or geotextile fabric. When you run into conditions where you suspect that the native soil is unstable, work with an engineer to investigate the situation and design an appropriate solution.3.Use the best materialsWith all road materials you “pay now or pay later.” Inferior materials may require extensive maintenance throughout the road’s life. They may also force you to replace the road prematurely.Crushed aggregate is the best material for the base course. The sharp angles of thecrushed material interlock when they are compacted. This supports the pavement and traffic by transmitting the load from particle to particle. By contrast, rounded particles act like ballbearings, moving under loads.Angular particles are more stable than rounded particles.Asphalt and concrete pavement materials must be of the highest quality, designed for the conditions, obtained from established firms, and tested to ensure it meets specifications. 4.Compact all layersIn general, the more densely a material is compacted, the stronger it is. Compaction also shrinks or eliminates open spaces (voids) between particles. This means that less water can enter the structure. Water in soil can weaken the structure or lead to frost heaves. This is especially important for unsurfaced (gravel) roads. Use gravel which has a mix of sizes (well-graded aggregate) so smaller particles can fill the voids between larger ones. Goodcompaction of asphalt pavement lengthens its life.5.Design for traffic loads and volumesDesign for the highest anticipated load the road will carry. A road that has been designed only for cars will not stand up to trucks. One truck with 9 tons on a single rear axle does as much damage to a road as nearly 10,000 cars.Rural roads may carry log trucks, milk trucks, fire department pumper trucks, or construction equipment. If you don’t know what specific loads the road will carry, a good rule of thumb is to design for the largest piece of highway maintenance equipment that will be used on the road.A well-constructed and maintained asphalt road should last 20 years without major repairs or reconstruction. In designing a road, use traffic counts that project numbers and sizes of vehicles 20 years into the future. These are only projections, at best, but they will allow you to plan for trafficloadings through a road’s life.6.Design for maintenanceWithout maintenance a road will rapidly deteriorate and fail. Design your roads so they can be easily maintained. This means:• adequate ditches that can be cleaned regularly• culverts that are marked for easy locating in the spring• enough space for snow after it is plowed off the road• proper cross slopes for safety, maintenance and to avoid snow drifts• roadsi des that are planted or treated to prevent erosion• roadsides that can be mowed safelyA rule of thumb for adequate road width is to make it wide enough for a snowplow to pass another vehicle without leaving the travelled way.Mark culverts with a post so they can be located easily.7.Pave only when readyIt is not necessary to pave all your roads immediately. There is nothing wrong with a well-built and wellmaintained gravel road if traffic loads and volume do not require a paved surface. Three hundred vehicles per day is the recommended minimum to justify paving.Don’t assume that laying down asphalt will fix a gravel road that is failing. Before you pave, make sure you have an adequate crushed stone base that drains well and is properly compacted. The recommended minimum depth of crushed stone base is 10" depending on subgrade soils. A road paved only when it is ready will far outperform one that is constructed too quickly.8.Ê Build from the bottom upThis commandment may seem obvious, but it means that you shouldn’t top dress or resurface a road if the problem is in an underlying layer. Before you do any road improvement, locate the cause of any surface problems. Choose an improvement technique that will address the problem. This may mean recycling or removing all road materials down to the native soil and rebuilding everything. Doing any work that doesn’t solve the problem is a waste of money and effort.9.Ê Protect your investmentThe road system can be your municipality’s biggest investment. Just as a home needs painting or a new roof, a road must be maintained. Wisconsin’s severe climate requires more road maintenance than in milder places. Do these important maintenance activities: Surface —grade, shape, patch, seal cracks, control dust, remove snow and iceDrainage —clean and repair ditches and culverts; remove all excess materialRoadside —cut brush, trim trees and roadside plantings, control erosionTraffic service —clean and repair or replace signsDesign roads with adequate ditches so they can be maintained with a motor grader. Clean and grade ditches to maintain proper pitch and peak efficiency. After grading, remove all excess material from the shoulder.10.Keep good recordsYour maintenance will be more efficient with good records. Knowing the road’s construction, life, and repair history makes it much easier to plan and budget its future repairs. Records can also help you evaluate the effectiveness of the repair methods and materials you used.Good record keeping starts with an inventory of the system. It should include the history and surface condition of the roadway, identify and evaluate culverts and bridges, note ditch conditions,shoulders, signs, and such structures as retaining walls and guardrails.Update your inventory each year or when you repair or change a road section. A formal pavement management system can help use these records and plan and budget road improvements.ResourcesThe Basics of a Good Road#17649, UW-Madison, 15 min. videotape.

中英文资料外文翻译文献PavementHighway pavements are divided into two main categories: rigitand flexible.The wearing surfaceof a rigid pavement is usually constructed of Portland cement concrete such that it acts like a beam over any irregularities in the underlying supporting material.The wearing surface of flexible pavements, on the other hand, is usually constructed of bituminous material such that they remain in contact with the underlying material even when minor irregularities occur.Flexible pavements usually consist of a bituminous surface underlaid with a layer of granular material and a layer of a suitable mixture of coarse and fine materials.Coarse aggregatesFine aggregatesTraffic loads are transferred by the wearing surface to the underlying supporting materials through the interlocking of aggregates, the frictionaleffect of the granular materials, and the cohesion of the fine materials.Flexible pavements are further divided into three subgroups: high type, intermediate type, and low type. High-type pavements have wearing surfaces that adequately support the expected traffic load without visible distress due to fatigue and are not susceptible to weather conditions.Intermediate-type pavements have wearing surfaces that range from surface treated to those with qualities just below that of high-type pavements. Low-type pavements are used mainly for low-cost roads and have wearing surfaces that range from untreated to loose natural materials to surface-treated earth.The components of a flexible pavement include the subgradeor preparedroadbed, the subbase, basecourse, and the surface course (Fig.11.1).✹Upper surface courseMiddle surface courseLower surface courseThe performance of the pavement depends on the satisfactory performance of each component, which requires proper evaluation of the properties of each component separately.✹The subgrade is usually the natural material located along the horizontal alignment of the pavement and serves as the foundation of the pavement structure.✹The subgrademay also consist of a layer of selected borrow materials, well compacted to prescribedspecifications.✹Compacting plantCompaction deviceCompactnessIt may be necessary to treat the subgrade material to achieve certain strength properties required for the type of pavement being constructed.Located immediately above the subgrade, the subbase component consists of a superior quality to that which generally is used for subgrade construction. The requirements for subbase materials are usually given in terms of the gradation, plastic characteristics, and strength. When the quality of the subgrade material meets the requirements of the subbase material, the subbase component may be omitted.In cases where suitable subbase material is not readily available ,the available material can be treated with other materials to achieve the necessary properties. This process of treating soils to improve their engineering properties is know as stabilization.✹The base course lies immediately above the subbase. It is placed immediately above the subgrade if a subbase course is not used.✹This course usually consists of granular materials such as crushed stone, crushed or uncrushed.The specifications for base course materials usually include stricter requirements than those for subbase materials, particularly with respect to their plasticity, gradation, and strength.Materials that do not have the required properties can be used as base materials if they are properly stabilized with Portland cement, asphalt, or lime .In some cases, high-quality base course materials may also be treated with asphalt or Portland cement to improve the stiffness characteristics of heavy-duty pavementsThe surface course is the upper course of the road pavement and is constructed immediately above the base course. The surface course in flexible pavement usually consists of a mixture of mineral aggregates and asphaltic materials.It should be capable of withstanding high tire pressures, resisting the abrasive forces due to traffic, providing a skid-resistant driving surface, and preventing thepenetration of surface water into the underlying layers.✹The thickness of the wearing surface can vary from 3 in. to more than 6 in.(inch,英寸,2.54cm), depending on the expected traffic on the pavement.It was shown that the quality of the surface course of a flexible pavement depends on the mix design of the asphalt concrete used.✹Rigid highway pavements usually are constructed to carry heavy traffic loads, although they have been used for residential and local roads. Properly designed and constructed rigid pavements have long service lives and usually are less expensive to maintain than the flexible pavements.✹The Portland cement concrete commonly used for rigid pavements consists of Portland cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and water. Steel reinforcing rods may or may not be used, depending on the type of pavement being constructed.Rigid highway pavements be divided into three general type: plain concrete pavements, simply reinforced concrete pavements, and continuously reinforced concrete pavement. The definition of each pavement type is related to the amount of reinforcement used.Plain concrete pavement has no temperature steel or dowels for load transfer. However, steel tie bars are often used to provide a hingeeffect at longitudinal joints and to prevent the opening of these joints. Plain concrete pavements are used mainly on low-volume highways or when cement-stabilized soils are used as subbase.✹Joints are placed at relatively shorter distances (10 to 20 ft) than with the other types of concrete pavements to reduce the amount of cracking.In some case, the transverse joints of plain concrete pavements are skewed about 4 to 5 ft in plan, such that only one wheel of a vehicle passes through the joint at a time. This helps to provide a smoother ride.Simply reinforced concrete pavements have dowels for the transfer of traffic loads across joints, with these joints spaced at larger distances, ranging from 30 to 100 ft. Temperature steel is used throughout the slab, with the amount dependent on the length of the slab. Tie bars are also commonly used in longitudinal joints.h/2 h/25~10cm 填缝料横向施工缝构造Continuously reinforced concrete pavements have no transverse joints, except construction joints or expansion joints when they are necessary at specific positions, such as at bridges.These pavements have a relatively high percentage of steel, with the minimum usually at 0.6 percent of the cross section of the slab. They also contain tie bars across the longitudinal joints.Bituminous Surface CoursesThe bituminous surface course has to provide resistance to the effects of repeated loading by tyres and to the effects of the environment.✹ In addition, it must offer adequate skid resistance in wet weather as well ascomfortable vehicle ride. It must also be resistant to rutting and to cracking.✹ It is also desirable that surface course is impermeable, except in the case ofporous asphalt.Hot rolled asphalt (HRA) is a gapgraded material with less coarse aggregate. In fact it is essentially a bitumen/fine aggregate/filler mortar into which some coarse aggregate is placed.The mechanical propertiesare dominated by those of the mortar. This material has been extensively used as the wearing course on major road in the UK, though its use has recently declined as new materials have been introduced.✹ It provides a durablelayer with good resistance to cracking and one which isrelatively easy to compact. The coarse aggregate content is low (typically 30%) which results in the compacted mixture having a smooth surface. Accordingly, the skid resistance is inadequate and precoated chippings are rolled into the surface at the time of laying to correct this deficiency.In Scotland, HRA wearing course remains the preferred wearing course on trunk roads including motorway but , since 1999 thin surfacings have been the preferred option in England and Wales. Since 1999 in Northern Ireland, HRA wearing course and thin surfacings are the preferred permitted options.Porous asphalt (PA) is a uniformly graded material which is designed to provide平缝加拉杆型large air voids so that water can drain to the verges within the layer thickness. If the wearing course is to be effective, the basecourse below must be waterproof and the PA must have the ability to retain its open textured properties with time.Thick binder films are required to resist water damage and ageing of the binder. In use, this material minimizes vehicle spray, provides a quiet ride and lower rolling resistance to traffic than dense mixtures.✹It is often specified for environmental reasons but stone mastic asphalt (SMA) and special thin surfacings are generally favoured in current UK practice.There have been high profile instances where a PA wearing course has failed early in its life. The Highways Agency does not recommend the use of a PA at traffic levels above 6000 commercial vehicles per day.✹Asphaltic concrete and dense bitumen macadam (DBM) are continuously graded mixtures similar in principle to the DBMs used in roadbases and basecourses but with smaller maximum particle sizes. Asphaltic concrete tends to have a slightlydenser grading and is used for road surfaces throughout the world with the excepting of the UK.✹It is more difficult to meet UK skid resistance Standards with DBMs than HRA, SMA or PA. This problem can be resolves by providing a separate surface treatment but doing so generally makes DBM economically unattractive.✹Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) material was pioneeredin Germany and Scandinavia and is now widely used in the UK. SMA has a coarse, aggregrate skeleton, like PA, but the voids are filled with a fine aggregate/filler /bitumen mortar.✹In mixtures using penetration grade bitumen , fibres are added to hold the bitumen within the mixture (to prevent “binder drainage”).Bitumen✹oil bitumen( earth oil)✹natural bitumen✹TarWhere a polymer modified bitumen is used, there is generally no need for fibres. SMA is a gap-graded material with good resistance to rutting and high durability. modified bitumen✹SBS✹SBR✹PE\EV A✹It differs from HRA in that the mortar is designed to just fill the voids in the coarse aggregate whereas, in HRA, coarse aggregate is introduced into the mortar and does not provide a continous stone matrix. The higher stone content HRAs ,however, are rather similar to SMA but are not wide used as wearing courses in the UK, being preferred for roadbase and basecourse construction.A variety of thin and what were called ultra thin surfacings (nowadays, the tendency is to use the term …thin surfacings‟ for both thin and ultra thin surfacings )have been introduced in recent years, principally as a result of development work concentrated in France.These materials vary in their detailed constituents but usually have an aggregate grading similar to SMA and often incorporate a polymer modified bitumen.They may be used over a high stiffness roadbase and basecourse or used for resurfacing of existing pavements. For heavy duty pavements (i .e those designed to have a useful life of forty years), the maintenance philosophy is one of minimum lane occupancy, which only allows time for replacement of the wearing course to these …long life‟ pavement structures. The new generation of thin surfa cings allows this to be conveniently achieved.The various generic mixture types described above can be compared with respect to their mechanical properties and durability characteristics by reference to Fig.12.1. This shows, in principle, how low stone content HRA, asphaltic concrete, SMA and PA mixtures mobilize resistance to loading by traffic.Asphaltic concrete (Fig.12.1a)) presents something of a compromise when well designed, since the dense aggregate grading can offer good resistance to the shear stresses which cause rutting, while an adequate binder content will provide reasonable resistance to the tensile stresses which cause cracking.In general, the role of the aggregate dominates. DBMs tend to have less dense gradings and properties which, therefore, tend towards good rutting resistance and away from good crack resistance.HRA (Fig.12.1b)) offers particularly good resistance to cracking through the binder rich mortar between the coarse aggregate particles. This also provides good durability but the lack of coarse aggregate content inhibits resistance to rutting.SMA and PA are shown in the same diagram ( Fig.c)) to emphasis the dominant role the coarse aggregate. In both case, well coated stone is used. In PA, the void space remains available for drainage of water, whilst in SMA, the space is occupied by a fine aggregate/ filler/ bitumen/ fibre mortar.Both materials offer good rutting resistance through the coarse aggregate content. The tensile strength of PA is low whilst that of SMA is probably adequate but little mechanical testing data have been reported to date.Drainage for Road and Airports✹Provision of adequate drainage is important factor in the location and geometric design of road and airports. Drainage facilities on any highway, street and airport should adequately provide for the flow of water away from the surface of the pavement to properly designed channels.Inadequate drainage will eventually result in serious damage to the structure.✹In addition, traffic may be slowed by accumulated water on the pavement, and accidents may occur as a result of hydroplaning and loss of visibility from splash and spray. The importance of adequate drainage is recognized in the amount of highway construction dollars allocated to drainage facilities. About25 percent of highway construction dollars are spent for erosion control anddrainage structures, such as culverts, bridges, channels, and ditches.✹Highway Drainage Structures✹One of the main concerns of the highway engineer is to provide an adequate size structure, such that the waterway opening is sufficiently large to discharge the expected flow of water.Inadequately sized structures can result in water impounding, which may lead to failure of the adjacent sections of the highway due to embankments being submerged in water for long periods.✹The two general categories of drainage structures are major and minor. Major structures are those with clear spans greater than 20 feet, whereas minor structures are those with clear spans of 20 feet or less .✹Major structures are usually large bridges, although multiple-span culverts may also be included in this class. Minor structures include small bridges and culverts.Emphasis is placed on selecting the span and vertical clearancerequirements for major structures. The bridge deck should be located above the high water mark .The clearance above the high water mark depends on whether the waterway is navigable ✹If the waterway is navigable, the clearance above the high water mark should allow the largest ship using the channel to pass underneath the bridge without colliding with the bridge deck. The clearance height, type, and spacing of piers also depend on the probability of ice jams and the extentto which floating logs and debris appear on the waterway during high water.✹An examination of the banks on either side of the waterway will indicate the location of the high water mark, since this is usually associated with signs of erosion and debris deposits. Local residents, who have lived near and observed the waterway during flood stages over a number of years, can also give reliable information on the location of the high water mark. Stream gauges that have been installed in the waterway for many years can also provide data that can be used to locate the high water mark.Minor structures, consisting of short-span bridges and culverts, are the predominant type of drainage structures on highways. Although openings for these structures are not designed to be adequate for the worst flood conditions, they should be large enough to accommodate the flow conditions that might occur during the normal life expectancy of the structure.✹Provision should also be made for preventing clogging of the structure due to floating debris and large boulders rolling from the banks of steep channels.✹Culverts are made of different materials and in different shapes. Materials used to construct culverts include concrete(reinforced and unreinforced), corrugated steel, and corrugatedaluminum. Other materials may also be used to line the interiorof the culvert to prevent corrosion and abrasionor to reduce hydraulic resistance. For example, asphaltic concrete may be used to line corrugated metal culverts. The different shapes normally used in culvert construction include circular, rectangular (box), elliptical, pipe arch, metal box, and arch.✹The drainage problem is increased in these areas primarily for two reasons: the impervious nature of the area creates a very high runoff; and there is little room for natural water courses. It is often necessary to collect the entire storm water into a system of pipes and transmit it over considerable distances before it can be loosed again as surface runoff. This collection and transmission further increase the problem, since all of the water must be collected with virtually no pending, thus eliminating any natural storage; and through increased velocity the peak runoffs are reached more quickly.Also, the shorter times of peaks cause the system to be more sensitive to short-duration,high intensive rainfall.Storm sewers,like culverts and bridges,are designed for storms of various intensity-return-period relationships, depending uponthe economy and amount of ponding that can be tolerated.✹Airport Drainage✹The problem of providing proper drainage facilities for airports is similar in many ways to that of highways and streets. However, because of the large and relatively flat surface involved, the varying soil conditions, the absence of natural water courses and possible side ditches, and the greater concentration of discharge at the terminus of the construction area, some phases of the problem are more complex. For the average airport the over-all area to be drained is relatively large and an extensive drainage system is required. The magnitude of such a system makes it even more imperative that sound engineering principles based on all of the best available data be used to ensure the most economical design.Overdesigning of facilities results in excessive money investment with no return, and underdesigning can result in conditions hazardous to the air traffic using the airport. In order to ensure surfaces that are smooth, firm, stable, and reasonably free from flooding, it is necessary to provide a system which will do several things.It must collect and remove the surface water from the airport surfaces; intercept and remove surface water flowing toward the airport from adjacent areas; collect and remove any excessive subsurface water beneath the surface of the airport facilities and in many cases lower the ground-water table; and provide protection against erosion of the sloping areas.路面公路的路面被分为两类:刚性的和柔性的。
公路线形设计外文翻译文献(文档含中英文对照即英文原文和中文翻译)Geometric Design of HighwaysA Alignment Designof a road is shown on the plane view and is a series of straight lines called tangents connected by circular. In modern practice it is common to interpose transition or spiral curves between tangents and circular curves.Alignment must be consistent. Sudden changes from flat to sharp curves and long tangents followed by sharp curves must be avoided; otherwise, accident hazards will be created. Likewise, placing circular curves of different radii end to end (compound curves) or having a short tangent between two curves is poor practice unless suitable transitions between them are provided. Long, flat curves are preferable at all times, as they are pleasing in appearance and decrease possibility of future obsolescence. However, alignment without tangents is undesirable on two-lane roads because somedrivers hesitate to pass on curves. Long, flat curves should be used for small changes in direction, as short curves appea r as “kink”. Also horizontal and vertical alignment must be considered together, not separately. For example, a sharp horizontal curve beginning near a crest can create a serious accident hazard.A vehicle traveling in a curved path is subject to centrifugal force. This is balanced by an equal and opposite force developed through cannot exceed certain maximums, and these controls place limits on the sharpness of curves that can be used with a design speed.Usually the sharpness of a given circular curve is indicated by its radius. However, for alignment design, sharpness is commonly expressed in terms of degree of curve, which is the central angle subtended by a 100-ft length of curve. Degree of curve is inversely proportional to the radius.Tangent sections of highways carry normal cross slope; curved sections are super Provision must be made for gradual change from one to the other. This usually involves maintaining the center line of each individual roadway at profile grade while raising the outer edge and lowering the inner edge to produce the desired super is attained some distance beyond the point of curve.If a vehicle travels at high speed on a carefully restricted path made up of tangents connected by sharp circular curve, riding is extremely uncomfortable. As the car approaches a curve, super begins and the vehicle is tilted inward, but the passenger must remain vertical since there is on centrifugal force requiring compensation. When the vehicle reaches the curve, full centrifugal force develops at once, and pulls the rider outward from his vertical position. To achieve a position of equilibrium he must force his body far inward. As the remaining super takes effect, further adjustment in position is required. This process is repeated in reverse order as the vehicle leaves the curve. When easement curves are introduced, the change in radius from infinity on the tangent to that of the circular curve is effected gradually so that centrifugal force also develops gradually. By careful application of super along the spiral, a smooth and gradual application of centrifugal force can be had and the roughness avoided.Easement curves have been used by the railroads for many years, but their adoption by highway agencies has come only recently. This is understandable. Railroad trains must follow the precise alignment of the tracks, and the discomfort described here can be avoided only by adopting easement curves. On the other hand, the motor-vehicle operator is free to alter his lateral position on the road and can provide his own easement curves by steering into circular curves gradually. However, this weaving within a traffic lane (but sometimes into other lanes) is dangerous. Properly designed easement curves make weaving unnecessary. It is largely for safety reasons, then, that easement curves have been widely adopted by highway agencies.For the same radius circular curve, the addition of easement curves at the ends changes the location of the curve with relation to its tangents; hence the decision regarding their use should be made before the final location survey. They point of beginning of an ordinary circular curve is usually labeled the PC (point of curve) or BC (beginning of curve). Its end is marked the PT (point of tangent) or EC (end of curve). For curves that include easements, the common notation is, as stationing increases: TS (tangent to spiral), SC (spiral to circular curve), CS (circular curve to spiral), and ST (spiral go tangent).On two-lane pavements provision of a wilder roadway is advisable on sharp curves. This will allow for such factors as (1) the tendency for drivers to shy away from the pavement edge, (2) increased effective transverse vehicle width because the front and rear wheels do not track, and (3) added width because of the slanted position of the front of the vehicle to the roadway center. For 24-ft roadways, the added width is so small that it can be neglected. Only for 30mph design speeds and curves sharper than 22°does the added width reach 2 ft. For narrower pavements, however, widening assumes importance even on fairly flat curves. Recommended amounts of and procedures for curve widening are given in Geometric Design for Highways.B GradesThe vertical alignment of the roadway and its effect on the safe and economical operation of the motor vehicle constitute one of the most important features of roaddesign. The vertical alignment, which consists of a series of straight lines connected by vertical parabolic or circular curves, is known as the “grade line.” When the grad e line is increasing from the horizontal it is known as a “plus grade,” and when it is decreasing from the horizontal it is known as a “minus grade.” In analyzing grade and grade controls, the designer usually studies the effect of change in grade on the center profile.In the establishment of a grade, an ideal situation is one in which the cut is balanced against the fill without a great deal of borrow or an excess of cut to be wasted. All hauls should be downhill if possible and not too long. The grade should follow the general terrain and rise and fall in the direction of the existing drainage. In mountainous country the grade may be set to balance excavation against embankment as a clue toward least overall cost. In flat or prairie country it will be approximately parallel to the ground surface but sufficiently above it to allow surface drainage and, where necessary, to permit the wind to clear drifting snow. Where the road approaches or follows along streams, the height of the grade line may be dictated by the expected level of flood water. Under all conditions, smooth, flowing grade lines are preferable to choppy ones of many short straight sections connected with short vertical curves.Changes of grade from plus to minus should be placed in cuts, and changes from a minus grade to a plus grade should be placed in fills. This will generally give a good design, and many times it will avoid the appearance of building hills and producing depressions contrary to the general existing contours of the land. Other considerations for determining the grade line may be of more importance than the balancing of cuts and fills.Urban projects usually require a more detailed study of the controls and finer adjustment of elevations than do rural projects. It is often best to adjust the grade to meet existing conditions because of the additional expense of doing otherwise.In the analysis of grade and grade control, one of the most important considerations is the effect of grades on the operating costs of the motor vehicle. An increase in gasoline consumption and a reduction in speed are apparent when grades are increase in gasoline consumption and a reduction in speed is apparent whengrades are increased. An economical approach would be to balance the added annual cost of grade reduction against the added annual cost of vehicle operation without grade reduction. An accurate solution to the problem depends on the knowledge of traffic volume and type, which can be obtained only by means of a traffic survey.While maximum grades vary a great deal in various states, AASHTO recommendations make maximum grades dependent on design speed and topography. Present practice limits grades to 5 percent of a design speed of 70 mph. For a design speed of 30 mph, maximum grades typically range from 7 to 12 percent, depending on topography.Wherever long sustained grades are used, the designer should not substantially exceed the critical length of grade without the provision of climbing lanes for slow-moving vehicles. Critical grade lengths vary from 1700 ft for a 3 percent grade to 500 ft for an 8 percent grade.Long sustained grades should be less than the maximum grade on any particular section of a highway. It is often preferred to break the long sustained uniform grade by placing steeper grades at the bottom and lightening the grade near the top of the ascent. Dips in the profile grade in which vehicles may be hidden from view should also be avoided.Maximum grade for highway is 9 percent. Standards setting minimum grades are of importance only when surface drainage is a problem as when water must be carried away in a gutter or roadside ditch. In such instances the AASHTO suggests a minimum of 0.35%.C Sight DistanceFor safe vehicle operation, highway must be designed to give drivers a sufficient distance or clear version ahead so that they can avoid unexpected obstacles and can pass slower vehicles without danger. Sight distance is the length of highway visible ahead to the driver of a vehicle. The concept of safe sight distance has two facets: “stopping” (or “no passing”) and “passing”.At times large objects may drop into a roadway and will do serious damage to amotor vehicle that strikes them. Again a car or truck may be forced to stop in the traffic lane in the path of following vehicles. In dither instance, proper design requires that such hazards become visible at distances great enough that drivers can stop before hitting them. Further more, it is unsafe to assume that one oncoming vehicle may avoid trouble by leaving the lane in which it is traveling, for this might result in loss of control or collision with another vehicle.Stopping sight distance is made up of two elements. The first is the distance traveled after the obstruction comes into view but before the driver applies his brakes. During this period of perception and reaction, the vehicle travels at its initial velocity. The second distance is consumed while the driver brakes the vehicle to a stop. The first of these two distances is dependent on the speed of the vehicle and the perception time and brake-reaction time of the operator. The second distance depends on the speed of the vehicle; the condition of brakes, times, and roadway surface; and the alignment and grade of the highway.On two-lane highways, opportunity to pass slow-moving vehicles must be provided at intervals. Otherwise capacity decreases and accidents increase as impatient drivers risk head-on collisions by passing when it is unsafe to do so. The minimum distance ahead that must be clear to permit safe passing is called the passing sight distance.In deciding whether or not to pass another vehicle, the driver must weigh the clear distance available to him against the distance required to carry out the sequence of events that make up the passing maneuver. Among the factors that will influence his decision are the degree of caution that he exercises and the accelerating ability of his vehicle. Because humans differ markedly, passing practices, which depend largely on human judgment and behavior rather than on the laws of mechanics, vary considerably among drivers. To establish design values for passing sight distances, engineers observed the passing practices of many drivers. Basic observations on which passing sight distance standards are based were made during the period 1938-1941. Assumed operating conditions are as follows:1.The overtaken vehicle travels at a uniform speed.2.The passing vehicle has reduced speed and trails the overtaken one as it entersthe passing section.3.When the passing section is reached, the driver requires a short period of timeto perceive the clear passing section and to react to start his maneuver.4.Passing is accomplished under what may be termed a delayed start and ahurried return in the face of opposing traffic. The passing vehicle accelerates during the maneuver and its average speed during occupancy of the left lane is 10 mph higher than that of the overtaken vehicle.5.When the passing vehicle returns to its lane there is a suitable clearancelength between it and an oncoming vehicle in the other lane.The five distances, in sum, make up passing sight distance.公路线形设计A 平面设计道路的线形反映在平面图上是由一系列的直线和与直线相连的圆曲线构成的。
附录A 外文翻译原文Road DesignHistory of Road DesignFirstly let me apologise for this page. It is largely text based due to the nature of it and if reading is difficult then I am sorry. This is due solely to the material covered and is the only page in the series. This is not typical as the rest have graphics or images to keep you amused. Secondly this page is very much a history of road building in the United Kingdom.The first road builders of any significance in Western Europe were the Romans, who saw the ability to move quickly as essential for both military and civil reasons. It is from the Romans that the term highway comes as all their roads were elevated 1m above the local level of the land. This was to minimise the risk of an ambush, as was the best known characteristic of the roads, their lack of corners. The standards set by the Romans in terms of durability far exceeded anything achieved after the fall of the empire.The Roman approach to road design is essentially the same as that in current use. The roads were constructed of several different layers, increasing in strength from the bottom. The lowest layer was normally a rubble, intermediate layers were made of lime bound concrete and the upper layer was a flag or lime grouted stone slabs. The thickness of the layers was varied according to the local ground conditions.After the fall of the Roman Empire the road system fell into a state of disrepair and by the end of the middle ages, there was in effect no road system in the country. The only routes available were unpaved tracks, muddy and impassable in winter and dusty and impassable in summer. Diversions around particularly poor stretches resulted in sinuous alignments. The state of the roads combined with the general lawlessness at the time meant only the determined or insane traveled.The first change in this attitude came in 1555 when an Act of Parliament was passed imposing a duty on all parishes to maintain it's roads. Also included in the Act was the creation of the position of a Surveyor of Highways. This was unpaid and under resourced though and when combined with the lack of technical skills it is no surprise that the post became distinctly unpopular and ineffective.This lack of resources meant that the first major road was not established until the latter part of the seventeenth century. These roads were known as turnpike roads where the road user paid a toll. The first sections were known as the Great North Road and has since become the A1 trunk road. In the following century Turnpike Trusts were established to provide turnpike roads along major routes in the United kingdom. In this improved financial climate roadbuilding techniques evolved thanks to the work of pioneers such as Telford and Macadam. By about 1830 a system of well paved built roads existed such that the only constraints on road traffic and travel times were imposed by the nature of road vehicles.The next improvement came about with the advent of the railways. With rapid transport between towns now possible, the turnpikes became uneconomical and whilst roadbuilding in towns continued apace the turnpike trusts collapsed. Legislation in the late 19th century set the scene for the current administrative arrangements for highway construction and maintenance but the technology remained primitive and empirical. Only in recent years has that situation improved to any extent and even now most road design is based on empirical relationships and experimental work.The present situation is almost a complete reversal, with funding for new roads coming from the private sector. In exchange for building and maintaining the road the owners are paid a toll by the government for each vehicle using the road, a sort of modern turnpike system.Traffic AnalysisRoad loading takes many different forms, from a bicycle to multi-axled truck and trailer combinations.Traffic Analysis can be split into two well defined areas:Traffic Volume - This is the role of the Traffic Engineer and does not normally concern the Civil Engineer. This is not relevant to determining the load on the road, only the size and layout.Traffic Loading -This is the role of the Pavement Engineer and involves determining the loading on the road to be carried forward to the Pavement Design. Traffic V olumeThe role of the traffic engineer is to enable all traffic to travel on the road at a reasonable speed and with an appropriate degree of safety. This is not the loading that is used in the Pavement Design. These values are used to determine the road width only.With relation to the volume of traffic using the road, the passenger car is adopted as the standard unit and other vehicles are assessed in terms of passenger car units (pcu).Differences in the urban and rural situations arise due to the variation of speeds in the two areas. Decisions on road width are not normally made on total traffic flow per day as this is misleading but rather on the peak hourly flow. In Britain the maximum permissible flow is 3,000 pcu/h for a two lane dual carriageway and 4,500 pcu/h for a three lane dual carriageway (motorway). For all purpose roads with junctions these figures reduce to 1,100 ``and 1,900 pcu/h respectively.Where the road is new, studies must be carried out to estimate the volume of traffic expected to use the road. Where the new road replaces existing roads this is not too difficult. If however the road is expected to change the flow of traffic then analysis should be carried out as to the volume and constitution of traffic on the new road. Matters are further complicated if the road is very long or provides access to or from a large town. Computer methods are now available to aid in this process. The constitution of traffic on the new road is of interest to the pavement engineer. Traffic LoadingIn this section, we will discuss the traffic loading that is taken forward to the pavement design section. Unlike in the above section where Passenger Car Units were the reference unit, we will work in Standard Axles. This is a reference unit to determine the average loading on a pavement by what is known as the standard axle. This then allows a total loading over the life of the pavement to be determined, normally in Millions of Standard Axles (msa).EarthworksThe Process of earthworks is to excavate the existing land to a suitable level so that road construction may begin. The earthworks can take the form of either excavation in the form of cuts or the construction of embankments to carry anelevated highway. Normally in a road design project, both will be necessary and movement of earth from one part of the site to the next will be necessary. This should be done with as little waste created or as little extra material required as disposal or collection is expensive.Also included under the topic of earthworks is the compaction of the road materials to the appropriate level. This however is not covered as it is more concerned with the actual construction of the road than the design of it.This page is concerned solely with the design of the earthworks and not with the actual design of the embankments or cuts. If you wish to learn more about this then links to relevant pages are contained in the geotechnical section of the links page. A link to this can be found opposite.Of the topics covered in this page, they can be split up into the design of the earthworks and the plant used in the construction.ExcavationThe most important feature of the excavation is the material you are working with. This will be known from the Site Investigation. Poor information can lead to technical problems and to cost overruns.There are many ways of classifying the soil in terms of it's ease of excavation including seismic techniques. The most common in the United Kingdom at present however is the Ease of Digging scale or diggability. This classifies the soil in one of four categories:E Easy digging - Loose free running soils eg sands, fine gravels.M Medium - Denser cohesive soils eg clayey gravel, low PI clays .M-H Medium to Hard - eg broken rock, wet heavy clay, gravel with boulders.H Hard - material requiring blasting and hard high PI clays.Typical diggability factors can be seen in Table 1 below.Another important feature of rock is the amount of fissuring. There are two methods of assessing this, the percentage Rock Quality Data method and the Spacing of joints method. Each of these leads directly to an estimate of the uniaxial compressive strength and thus an indication of the excavation method. Both these can be found in the Manual of contracts document, Series 6001.Excavation increases the volume of material. It is therefore necessary to use a bulking factor to determine the volume of material that will be created by excavation. Bulking factor is defined as:Bulking Factor = V olume after Excavation/V olume before Excavation Similarly a shrinkage factor is defined for the compaction of a soil at it's final destination.:Shrinkage Factor = V olume after Compaction/V olume before Excavation In addition to the above properties, it is important to have some idea about the trafficability of the soils. This is because the excavation plant will need to drive over the soils without becoming bogged down. The trafficability of the soils is related to their drainage properties.Sands/GravelsFree Draining. Tend to have few problems.High PI ClaysLow permeability will prevent water ingress so the surface becomes dangerous but not in the long term.Silts/Low PI ClaysThese cause the most problems. Permeability allows ingress which softens the soils thus weakening them.Asphalt Paving OperationIntroductionThe subject of this term project was an asphalt paving process utilizing a paving machine and 20 tons capacity tri-axle trucks. The location of the process was at the corner of Main and Madison in Greenwood ( South of Indianapolis ). The project is being run by the Reith-Riley Construction Company. - Indianapolis. The overall process involved :1.Hot-mix batch plant cycle2.Tri-axle truck cycle3.Roller cycle4.Spreader cycle5.Crew cycleBecause of the complexity of the overall construction process, we chose to observe, report on, analyze and model the paving process on the base layer of the 15' lane road. At that time, the other lane of the road was not paved yet. The road has slightly increasing grade and curve along the process. The preliminary process of gathering the data used in this project, the efficiency of the operation, a model and MicroCYCLONE simulation of the process, and illustrations will be discussed and presented.Asphalt has been used by man for its adhesive and waterproofing properties. Asphalt was used in 3800 B.C. in the Euphrates and 2500 B.C. in Egypt. The Sumerians used asphalt in 6000 B.C. for its shipbuilding industry. Today, asphalt is applied to roofing, sealants, caulking, brake linings, paints, enamels, and most widely used in the paving industry (Asphalt - Science and Technology, 1968).Process DescriptionBatch Plant ProductionFirst, aggregate travels through the cold feed bins, where initial proportioning of the aggregate takes place. The quantity of material leaving each bin is regulated by the size of the gate opening, or the speed of a belt, or a combination of the two. The aggregate is sent to a drier. Here the moisture is removed and is heated to provide the proper mixing temperature in the pugmill. The aggregate continues to the hot elevator by screens to the hot bins. The screens provide the final separation of the aggregate.The different sizes of aggregate are released into the weight hopper one bin at a time. The aggregate is dropped into the pugmill for mixing with the asphalt. The mixture is then dropped into a waiting truck or moved to a storage silo. Samples are taken from each hot bin for testing. A sieve analysis is conducted as well as gradation test. From the gradation information, the weight of the aggregate must be equal to the design gradation. A trial run should be performed and the weights adjusted until the desired mix is produced. (U.S. Department of Transportation, December 1984) The different sizes of aggregate are released into the weight hopper one bin at a time. The aggregate is dropped into the pugmill for mixing with the asphalt. The mixture is then dropped into a waiting truck or moved to a storage silo. Samples aretaken from each hot bin for testing. A sieve analysis is conducted as well as gradation test. From the gradation information, the weight of the aggregate must be equal to the design gradation. A trial run should be performed and the weights adjusted until the desired mix is produced. (U.S. Department of Transportation, December 1984) Placing Asphalt PavementPlacing the CoatBefore the paving operation starts, an asphalt distributor is used to spray asphalt on the unpaved surface. This film of asphalt serves as the prime and tact coats. The coats are then allowed to cure before the actual paving resume. The purpose of having these coats is to prevent any slippage between the surface and overlay during or after the compaction. (The Asphalt Institute)Placing the Asphalt MixTo start the paving operation, the paver is positioned properly onto the road. The screed of the paver is lowered onto block of the same depth of the loose asphalt mat that is going to be laid on the road. (The screed is responsible for the setting the depth of the asphalt mix.) After that, the block can be removed and paving can start. As soon as the haul truck arrives at the job site, the paving inspector must check that the asphalt delivered must be in a satisfactory condition. The paving inspector usually check for these criteria listed below:1.blue smoke - blue smoke indicate that the mix is too hot.2.stiff appearance3.mix slumped in truck.4.lean, dull appearance - this indicates that the mix has insufficient asphalt.5.rising steam - too much moisture.6.segregation.7.contamination.If there is any of the signs above is observed, the mix will be sent back to the batch plant to be reprocessed. After all conditions are satisfied, the haul truck can load the mix into the receiving hopper of the paver.When loading the mix into the receiving hopper, the haul truck is placed carefully in front of the paver. The rear wheels of the truck should be in contact withthe truck roller of the paver to avoid any misalignment with the paver. The paver will push the truck forwards as it paves the road. If skewness happens, the whole process will be delayed because they have to reposition the truck in front of the paver.Most paver used are self-propelled paver. Each of them consists of two main units:Tractor unit. -it includes the receiving hopper, slot conveyor, flow control gates, spreading crew, power plant, transmission, operator control for use on either side, and operator's seat. This unit will move the whole system forward.Screed unit. -it is attached to the tractor unit by long screed arms on both sides of the machine. It consists of screed plate, vibrators or tamper bars, thickness control, crown control, and screed heater.As soon as the the first load of asphalt mix has been spread, the uniformity of the asphalt texture should be checked. Operators will adjust the the appropriate adjustment points to correct any nonuniformity. Any segregation of materials also should not be allowed. Operation should be stopped immediately if any segregation is detected. The operators should also be aware of is the crown control. Pavement with crown has to be redone all over again. In addition to that, operators should continuously loosen the mix that clings to the sides of the hopper and push it back into the active mix. If the asphalt mix grow cold, it cannot be properly compacted and thus, looses its strength.The last process of paving is compaction. This process is highly influenced by major mix proportion; (1) asphalt content: aggregate size, shape texture and distribution gradation; (2) filler content, and; (3) mix temperature. Appropriate rollers and rolling methods should be used in accordance with these proportion. There are several roller combinations used for maximum results:1.steel-tired static and pneumatic-tired rollers,2.vibratory and steel-tired static rollers, or3.vibratory rollers used in vibrating and static modes.4.These combinations are highly recommended by the asphalt institute.Rollers should be moved in a slow but uniform speed to achieve the best result. (See table) These rollers should also be in good conditions. Any irregularities in therollers' performances will result in poor compaction of the asphalt; thus, the pavement will not last long. The rollers should not reverse suddenly while compacting because this action can displace the mix. If displacement happens, the whole mat should be loosened with lutes or rakes and restored to the original grade before rolling can restart. A pattern that is economical and provides the maximum compaction result should be established. (The Asphalt Institute)Testing MethodWhy Evaluate Density of Hot Asphalt ConcreteAs we know, lacking of density during construction of asphalt concrete causes many problems. It is necessary to obtain high density to insure that the asphalt concrete will provide the necessary stability and durability for performance. For instance, low density generally causes long-term deterioration when the asphalt begins cracking. Therefore various methods have been used to measure the density in the asphalt concrete.Procedures Used to Obtain DensityProper aggregate gradation and asphalt content are important parameters to ensure that the density of asphalt concrete meets the requirement. Generally, poor gradation results in a reduction of voids in the mixture; thus, reduces the asphalt content which serves as the lubricant for aggregates in the mix. The stiff mix is more difficult to compact. Both the aggregate gradation and the asphalt content are interrelated and equally important.Paving asphalt is really difficult in cold climate. The hot mix cools down faster and harder to compact. To overcome this, contractors usually increase the temperature of the mix. Unfortunately excessively increasing the temperature of asphalt mixture may cause problems during compaction and increase oxidation of the asphalt cement. This may result in a hard and brittle pavement. The mix temperature should be selected so that the mixture would be able to support the roller immediately behind the paver. Since there is less time to roll the mixture before it cools, more rollers or larger rollers are required for the compaction process.After the mixture is transported to the site, the next step is to ensure proper density while laying down the asphalt with a spreader. A continuos availability of theasphalt mix for the paver is crucial. The spreader cannot afford to start and stop while waiting for the materials. It important to have material that has the same texture and appearance.Evaluation of In-Place DensityAn evaluation of the in-place material is necessary to ensure that a satisfactory density is obtained. Most of the time, a nuclear gage is used to estimate the density. However, the results obtained using this equipment are not accurate. It has to be calibrated by taking a number of measurements from different location as soon as the project starts. After calibrations, a series of readings are taken and then, the readings are compared to the density obtained from the laboratory. The laboratory results are the density of core samples taken from the same location. (Placement and Compaction of Asphalt Mixtures, 1982)Laboratory and Field Pavement Stability TestsThe American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are two agencies which set forth methods and test procedures the paving industry must follow. Five test methods readily used in the field and laboratory are:1.The Hubbard Field Stability Test (ASTM-D-1138-52 or AASHO Test 169) - tests the resistance to plastic flow of fine aggregate mixtures.2.The Unconfined Compression Test (ASTM-D-1074-52-T) - measures the cohesion of paving binder and performance of the internal friction of the aggregate.3.The Marshall Test (ASTM-Method-D-1559) - measures the flow value or flow index by distorting the specimen until fracture.4.The Hveem Test (ASTM-Method-1560) - uses stabilometer and cohesiometer apparatus. The stabilometer determines the maximum amount of asphalt which will obtain the greatest stability by measuring the internal fiction of the mineral aggregate. The cohesiometer determines the cohesion properties and the strength of asphalt films by bending and breaking a specimen.5.The Triaxial Compression Test - is useful in determining the cohesion of the mix and asphalt contents and the angle of internal friction of the entire mixture by applying lateral pressures. Theses are the most widely used although a variety ofother methods exist. It must be stated that different local, state, and federal organizations will require certain tests to be performed and may accept adifferent range of values.Resources DescriptionMaterial:1.Aggregates2.Hot mix asphalt materialEquipment:1.Trucks2.Spreader3.RollerBatch plant (hot mix)Laborer :1 laborer1 roller operator1 paver operator1 superintendent1 truck operators1 foremanDiscussionDiscussion Preliminary Procedure to Obtain DataInitially contacting the company and project engineers involved was necessary before we could obtain access to the site and accumulate data and information about the operation. Dan Patrick, the superintendent of Reith-Riley Construction, provided general information regarding this operation. This included cost ( by providing us with the Company's Job Calculation Sheet ), specific details concerning the operation described and modeled in this paper and details of the crew sizes, equipment, materials, efficiency and variables of the operation. The site was visited often to observe and obtain the details of the operation. Pictures were taken, and individual questioning of the crews and inspector involved in the plant and job site were employed to get an accurate idea and necessary data. Mr. Patrick couldn't provide apool data regarding production times. We were given an estimate of schedule of the job calculation sheet which were used to compare with the observed/actual production.Data CollectionThe general description of the project, the process involved, and the equipment used was obtained from Dan Patrick, the superintendent of Reith-Riley Construction.The actual project site and time duration for each activities were obtained from field observation on October 9th, 1991. A digital watch was used to time every activities involved in the process. The data collected were averaged for the ease of calculation. The data include the average for :1.loading at batch plant2.travelling to the job site3.dumping the asphalt to spreader4.back-cycle of the truck5.spreading the asphaltpacting the asphalt7.checking the levelAll the data obtained were approved by the superintendent as standard time for this particular paving operation. This information is listed in table 1. The high and low data in table 2.1 and 2.2. were given by the superintendent. Therefore, the average values of the deterministic input were used as the mode values for the Triangular and Beta distribution. The Beta 'a' and Beta 'b' values were calculated by the Vibes program.Material Handling and Processing System1.Loading hot mix asphalt to the truck2.Hauling asphalt to job site3.Dumping the asphalt to the spreader4.Spreader paving the asphalt5.Roller breaking down the asphalt6.Roller finishing the surfaceProductivity ComparisonThe productivity level can be measured in three different ways1.Deterministic time2.Triangle distribution3.Beta DistributionThe values for all three methods were closely related (table 3.). Generally the deterministic values were higher while Beta values were lower. Triangle values were located somewhere in between the aforementioned. The range of differences between the distribution is 0.0289 to 0.4278. These difference were not significant; therefore, any distribution could be used in an actual situation. The production values from Beta distribution were used for determining the theoretical productivity because they were more conservative.From the company's Job Calculation Sheet, they estimated the capacity of the truck to be 20 tons and working 30 cycles per day. The company's estimated productivity is 600 tons per day which was equal to 3.75 truck-loads per hour. Refer to table 3 for comparison of productivity. The productivities of the simulated result of the MicroCYCLONE model were found to be a little bit lower. The percentage differences as given in table 3 were as followed :pared with deterministic time : 4.67 %pared with Triangle distribution time : 10.78 %pared with Beta distribution time : 12.87 %Improvement of ProductivityUsing sensitivity analysis, the productivity of the whole asphalt paving operation could be increased by adding one more roller. With only one roller, the deterministic productivity at cycle 30 was 3.575 truck-loads per hour. By adding the second roller, the productivity was increased to 6.4632 truck-loads per hour. The productivity was increased by about 81 %. ( look at appendix for the output files ).Also the sensitivity analysis showed that increasing truck did not increase the productivity at all.ConclusionThe rate of the operation was determined by the rate of the roller. This was because the roller took 15 minutes to compact the surface of the asphalt. Thus, toimprove the productivity, more roller should be added into the operation. Nevertheless, the company chose to use only one roller. Perhaps, the decision to only have one roller was determined by cost factor. The productivity obtained from the MicroCYCLONE model was within the expected productivity by the company.

Horizontal and Vertical Alignment水平和竖直定位1 Background1背景One definition of a visually attractive and unobtrusive highway is the degree to which the horizontal and vertical alignments of the route have been integrated into its surrounding natural and human environments. This takes careful planning and design, as noted in the AASHTO Green Book: Coordination of horizontal alignment and profile should not be left to chance but should begin with preliminary design, during which adjustments can readily be made ... The designer should-study long, continuous stretches of highway in both plan and profile and visualize the whole in three dimensions.一条引人注目的公路和一条不引人注目的公路的区别在于这条公路的水平和竖直定位融入到周围自然和人文环境的程度。
这需要认真的规划和设计,就像AASHTO Green一书中提到的:“水平面的位置和分布的协调不应该由机遇决定,而应该是由很容易做调整的初步设计决定……”设计者应进行长时间的研究,并具有把整个不断延伸的公路的平面和剖面三维化的能力。
外文文献翻译原文:Asphalt Mixtures-Applications, Theory and Principles1 . ApplicationsAsphalt materials find wide usage in the construction industry. The use of asphalt as a cementing agent in pavements is the most common of its applications, however, and the one that will be consid ered here.Asphalt products are used to produce flexibl e pavements for highways and airports. The term “fl exible” is used to distinguish these pavements from those made with Portland cement, which are classified as rigid pavements, that is, having beam strength. This distinction is important because it provid es they key to the design approach which must be used for successful flexibl e pavement structures.The flexibl e pavement classification may be further broken d own into high and l ow types, the type usually depending on whether a solid or liquid asphalt product is used. The l ow types of pavement are mad e with the cutback, or emulsion, liquid products and are very widely used throughout this country. Descriptive terminology has been devel oped in various sections of the country to the extent that one pavement type may have several names. However, the general process foll owed in construction is similar for most l ow-type pavements and can be described as one in which the aggregate and the asphalt product are usually applied to the roadbed separately and there mixed or all owed to mix, forming the pavement.The high type of asphalt pavements is made with asphalt cements of some sel ected penetration grad e.Fig. ·1 A modern asphalt concrete highway. Should er striping is used as a safely feature.Fig. ·2 Asphalt concrete at the San Francisco International Airport.They are used when high wheel l oads and high volumes of traffic occur and are, therefore, often designed for a particular installation.2 . Theory of asphalt concrete mix designHigh types of flexible pavement are constructed by combining an asphalt cement, often in the penetration grad e of 85 to 100, with aggregates that are usually divided into three groups, based on size. The three groups are coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and mineral filler. These will be discussed in d etail in later chapter.Each of the constituent parts mentioned has a particular function in the asphalt mixture, and mix proportioning or d esign is the process of ensuring that no function is negl ected. Before these individual functions are examined, however, the criteria for pavement success and failure should be consid ered so that d esign objectives can be established.A successful fl exible pavement must have several particular properties. First, it must be stable, that is to resistant to permanent displacement under l oad. Deformation of an asphalt pavement can occur in three ways, two unsatisfactory and one desirable. Plastic d eformationof a pavement failure and which is to be avoid ed if possible. Compressive deformation of the pavement results in a dimensional change in the pavement, and with this change come a l oss of resiliency and usually a d egree of roughness. This deformation is less serious than the one just described, but it, too, leads to pavement failure. The desirabl e type of deformation is an elastic one, which actually is beneficial to flexibl e pavements and is necessary to their long life.The pavement should be durable and should offer protection to the subgrade. Asphalt cement is not impervious to the effects of weathering, and so the design must minimize weather susceptibility. A durable pavement that does not crack or ravel will probably also protect the roadbed. It must be remembered that fl exible pavements transmit l oads to the subgrad e without significant bridging action, and so a dry firm base is absolutely essential.Rapidly moving vehicl es d epend on the tire-pavement friction factor for control and safety. The texture of the pavement surfaces must be such that an adequate skid resistance is developed or unsafe conditions result. The design procedure should be used to sel ect the asphalt material and aggregates combination which provid es a skid resistant roadway.Design procedures which yield paving mixtures embodying all these properties are not available. Sound pavements are constructed where materials and methods are selected by using time-tested tests and specifications and engineering judgments al ong with a so-call ed design method.The final requirement for any pavement is one of economy. Economy, again, cannot be measured directly, since true economy only begins with construction cost and is not fully determinable until the full useful life of the pavement has been record ed. If, however, the requirements for a stable, durable, and safe pavement are met with a reasonable safety factor, then the best interests of economy have probably been served as well.With these requirements in mind, the functions of the constituent parts can be examined with consideration give to how each part contributes to now-established objectives or requirements. The functions of the aggregates is to carry the l oad imposed on the pavement, and this is accomplished by frictional resistance and interl ocking between the individual pieces of aggregates. The carrying capacity of the asphalt pavement is, then, related to the surface texture (particularly that of the fine aggregate) and the density, or “compactness,”, of the aggregates. Surface texture varies with different aggregates, and while a rough surfacetexture is desired, this may not be available in some l ocalities. Dense mixtures are obtained by using aggregates that are either naturally or artificially “well grad ed”. This means that the fine aggregate serves to fill the voids in the coarser aggregates. In addition to affecting density and therefore strength characteristics, the grading also influences workability. When an excess of coarse aggregate is used, the mix becomes harsh and hard to work. When an excess of mineral filler is used, the mixes become gummy and difficult to manage.The asphalt cement in the fl exibl e pavement is used to bind the aggregate particl es together and to waterproof the pavements. Obtaining the proper asphalt content is extremely important and bears a significant influence on all the items marking a successful pavement. A chief objective of all the design methods which have been devel oped is to arrive at the best asphalt content for a particular combination of aggregates.3 . Mix design principl esCertain fundamental principles underlie the design procedures that have been developed. Before these procedures can be properly studied or applied, some consid eration of these principles is necessary.Asphalt pavements are composed of aggregates, asphalt cement, and voids. Consid ering the aggregate alone, all the space between particles is void space. The volume of aggregate voids depends on grading and can vary widely. When the asphalt cement is ad ded, a portion of these aggregate voids is fill ed and a final air-void volume is retained. The retention of thisair-void volume is very important to the characteristics of the mixture. The term air-void volume is used, since these voids are weightless and are usually expressed as a percentage of the total volume of the compacted mixture.An asphalt pavement carries the applied load by particl e friction and interlock. If the particl es are pushed apart for any reason , then the pavement stability is d estroyed. This factor indicates that certainly no more asphalt shoul d be ad ded than the aggregate voids can readily hold. However ,asphalt cement is susceptible to volume change and the pavement is subject to further compaction under use. If the pavement has no air voids when placed, or if it loses them under traffic, then the expanding asphalt will overfl ow in a condition known as bleeding. The l oss of asphalt cement through bl eeding weakens the pavement and also reduces surface friction, making the roadway hazard ous.Fig. ·3 Cross section of an asphalt concrete pavement showing the aggregate framework bound together by asphalt cement.The need for a minimum air-void volume (usually 2 or 3 per cent ) has been established. In addition, a maximum air-void volume of 5 to 7 per cent shoul d not be exceed. An excess of air voids promotes raveling of the pavement and also permits water to enter and speed up the deteriorating processes. Also, in the presence of excess air the asphalt cement hard ens and ages with an accompanying loss of durability and resiliency.The air-void volume of the mix is determined by the d egree of compaction as well as by the asphalt content. For a given asphalt content, a lightly compacted mix will have a large voids volume and a l ower d ensity and a greater strength will result. In the laboratory, the compaction is controlled by using a specified hammer and regulating the number of bl ows and the energy per blow. In the fiel d, the compaction and the air voids are more difficult to control and tests must be made no specimens taken from the compacted pavement to cheek on the d egree of compaction being obtained. Traffic further compact the pavement, andall owance must be mad e for this in the design. A systematic checking of the pavement over an extend ed period is needed to given factual information for a particular mix. A change in density of several per cent is not unusual, however.Asphalt content has been discussed in connection with various facets of the ix design problem. It is a very important factor in the mix design and has a bearing an all the characteristics ld a successful pavement: stability, skid resistance, durability, and economy. As has been mentioned, the various design procedures are intended to provid e a means for selecting the asphalt content . These tests will be consid ered in detail in a future chapter ,butthe relationship between asphalt content and the measurable properties of stability, unit weight, and air voids will be discussed here.Fig.4 Variations in stability, unit weight, and air-void content with asphalt cement content.If the gradation and type of aggregate, the degree of compaction, and the type of asphalt cement are controll ed, then the strength varies in a predictable manner. The strength will increase up to some optimum asphalt content and then decrease with further additions. The pattern of strength variation will be different when the other mix factors are changed, and so only a typical pattern can be predicted prior to actual testing.Unit weight varies in the same manner as strength when all other variabl e are controll ed. It will reach some peak value at an asphalt content near that determined from the strength curve and then fall off with further additions.As already mentioned, the air-void volume will vary with asphalt content. However, the manner of variation is different in that increased asphalt content will d ecrease air-void volume to some minimum value which is approached asymptotically. With still greater additions of asphalt material the particles of aggregate are only pushed apart and no change occurs in air-void volume.In summary, certain principles involving aggregate gradation, air-void volume, asphalt content, and compaction mist be understood before proceeding to actual mix d esign. The proper design based on these principl es will result in sound pavements. If these principles are overl ooked, the pavement may fail by one or more of the recognized modes of failure: shoving, rutting, corrugating, becoming slick when the max is too ‘rich’; raveling, cracking, having low durability whe n the mix is too ‘l ean’.It should be again emphasized that the strength of flexible is, more accurately, a stabilityand d oes not indicate any ability to bridge weak points in the subgrade by beam strength. No asphalt mixture can be successful unless it rests on top of a properly designed and constructed base structure. This fact, that the surface is no better than the base, must be continually in the minds of those concerned with any aspect of fl exible pavement work.译文:沥青混合料的应用、理论和原则1、应用沥青材料如今在建筑行业广泛使用。
公路建设外文翻译文献(文档含中英文对照即英文原文和中文翻译)PavementHighway pavements are divided into two main categories: rigitand flexible.The wearing surfaceof a rigid pavement is usually constructed of Portland cement concrete such that it acts like a beam over any irregularities in the underlying supporting material.The wearing surface of flexible pavements, on the other hand, is usually constructed of bituminous material such that they remain in contact with the underlying material even when minor irregularities occur.Flexible pavements usually consist of a bituminous surface underlaid with a layer of granular material and a layer of a suitable mixture of coarse and fine materials.Coarse aggregatesFine aggregatesTraffic loads are transferred by the wearing surface to the underlying supporting materials through the interlocking of aggregates, the frictionaleffect of the granular materials, and the cohesion of the fine materials.Flexible pavements are further divided into three subgroups: high type, intermediate type, and low type. High-type pavements have wearing surfaces that adequately support the expected traffic load without visible distress due to fatigue and are not susceptible to weather conditions.Intermediate-type pavements have wearing surfaces that range from surface treated to those with qualities just below that of high-type pavements. Low-type pavements are used mainly for low-cost roads and have wearing surfaces that range from untreated to loose natural materials to surface-treated earth.✹The components of a flexible pavement include the subgradeor prepared roadbed, the subbase, basecourse, and the surface course (Fig.11.1).✹Upper surface courseMiddle surface courseLower surface courseThe performance of the pavement depends on the satisfactory performance of each component, which requires proper evaluation of the properties of each component separately.✹The subgrade is usually the natural material located along the horizontal alignment of the pavement and serves as the foundation of the pavement structure.✹The subgrademay also consist of a layer of selected borrow materials, well compacted to prescribedspecifications.✹Compacting plantCompaction deviceCompactnessIt may be necessary to treat the subgrade material to achieve certain strength properties required for the type of pavement being constructed.Located immediately above the subgrade, the subbase component consists of a superior quality to that which generally is used for subgrade construction. The requirements for subbase materials are usually given in terms of the gradation, plastic characteristics, and strength. When the quality of the subgrade material meets the requirements of the subbase material, the subbase component may be omitted.In cases where suitable subbase material is not readily available ,the available material can be treated with other materials to achieve the necessary properties. This process of treating soils to improve their engineering properties is know as stabilization.✹The base course lies immediately above the subbase. It is placed immediately above the subgrade if a subbase course is not used.✹This course usually consists of granular materials such as crushed stone, crushed or uncrushed.The specifications for base course materials usually include stricter requirements than those for subbase materials, particularly with respect to their plasticity, gradation, and strength.Materials that do not have the required properties can be used as base materials if they are properly stabilized with Portland cement, asphalt, or lime .In some cases, high-quality base course materials may also be treated with asphalt or Portland cement to improve the stiffness characteristics of heavy-duty pavementsThe surface course is the upper course of the road pavement and is constructed immediately above the base course. The surface course in flexible pavement usually consists of a mixture of mineral aggregates and asphaltic materials.It should be capable of withstanding high tire pressures, resisting the abrasive forces due to traffic, providing a skid-resistant driving surface, and preventing the penetration of surface water into the underlying layers.✹The thickness of the wearing surface can vary from 3 in. to more than 6 in.(inch,英寸,2.54cm), depending on the expected traffic on the pavement.It was shown that the quality of the surface course of a flexible pavement depends on the mix design of the asphalt concrete used.✹Rigid highway pavements usually are constructed to carry heavy traffic loads, although they have been used for residential and local roads. Properly designed and constructed rigid pavements have long service lives and usually are less expensive to maintain than the flexible pavements.✹The Portland cement concrete commonly used for rigid pavements consists of Portland cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and water. Steel reinforcing rods may or may not be used, depending on the type of pavement being constructed.Rigid highway pavements be divided into three general type: plain concrete pavements, simply reinforced concrete pavements, and continuously reinforced concrete pavement. The definition of each pavement type is related to the amount of reinforcement used.Plain concrete pavement has no temperature steel or dowels for load transfer.However, steel tie bars are often used to provide a hingeeffect at longitudinal joints and to prevent the opening of these joints. Plain concrete pavements are used mainly on low-volume highways or when cement-stabilized soils are used as subbase.Joints are placed at relatively shorter distances (10 to 20 ft) than with the other types of concrete pavements to reduce the amount of cracking.In some case, the transverse joints of plain concrete pavements are skewed about 4 to 5 ft in plan, such that only one wheel of a vehicle passes through the joint at a time. This helps to provide a smoother ride.Simply reinforced concrete pavements have dowels for the transfer of traffic loads across joints, with these joints spaced at larger distances, ranging from 30 to 100 ft. Temperature steel is used throughout the slab, with the amount dependent on the length of the slab. Tie bars are also commonly used in longitudinal joints.Continuously reinforced concrete pavements have no transverse joints, except construction joints or expansion joints when they are necessary at specific positions, such as at bridges.These pavements have a relatively high percentage of steel, with the minimum usually at 0.6 percent of the cross section of the slab. They also contain tie bars across the longitudinal joints.h/2h/25~10cm填缝料 横向施工缝构造填缝料平缝加拉杆型Bituminous Surface CoursesThe bituminous surface course has to provide resistance to the effects of repeated loading by tyres and to the effects of the environment.✹In addition, it must offer adequate skid resistance in wet weather as well as comfortable vehicle ride. It must also be resistant to rutting and to cracking.✹It is also desirable that surface course is impermeable, except in the case of porous asphalt.Hot rolled asphalt (HRA) is a gapgraded material with less coarse aggregate. In fact it is essentially a bitumen/fine aggregate/filler mortar into which some coarse aggregate is placed.The mechanical propertiesare dominated by those of the mortar. This material has been extensively used as the wearing course on major road in the UK, though its use has recently declined as new materials have been introduced.✹It provides a durablelayer with good resistance to cracking and one which is relatively easy to compact. The coarse aggregate content is low (typically 30%) which results in the compacted mixture having a smooth surface. Accordingly, the skid resistance is inadequate and precoated chippings are rolled into the surface at the time of laying to correct this deficiency.In Scotland, HRA wearing course remains the preferred wearing course on trunk roads including motorway but,since 1999 thin surfacings have been the preferred option in England and Wales. Since 1999 in Northern Ireland, HRA wearing course and thin surfacings are the preferred permitted options.Porous asphalt (PA) is a uniformly graded material which is designed to provide large air voids so that water can drain to the verges within the layer thickness. If the wearing course is to be effective, the basecourse below must be waterproof and the PA must have the ability to retain its open textured properties with time.Thick binder films are required to resist water damage and ageing of the binder. In use, this material minimizes vehicle spray, provides a quiet ride and lower rolling resistance to traffic than dense mixtures.✹It is often specified for environmental reasons but stone mastic asphalt (SMA) and special thin surfacings are generally favoured in current UK practice.There have been high profile instances where a PA wearing course has failed early in its life. The Highways Agency does not recommend the use of a PA at traffic levels above 6000 commercial vehicles per day.✹Asphaltic concrete and dense bitumen macadam (DBM) are continuously graded mixtures similar in principle to the DBMs used in roadbases and basecourses but with smaller maximum particle sizes. Asphaltic concrete tends to have a slightlydenser grading and is used for road surfaces throughout the world with the excepting of the UK.✹It is more difficult to meet UK skid resistance Standards with DBMs than HRA, SMA or PA. This problem can be resolves by providing a separate surface treatment but doing so generally makes DBM economically unattractive.✹Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) material was pioneeredin Germany and Scandinavia and is now widely used in the UK. SMA has a coarse, aggregrate skeleton, like PA, but the voids are filled with a fine aggregate/filler /bitumen mortar.✹In mixtures using penetration grade bitumen , fibres are added to hold the bitumen within the mixture (to prevent “binder drainage”).Bitumen✹oil bitumen( earth oil)✹natural bitumen✹TarWhere a polymer modified bitumen is used, there is generally no need for fibres. SMA is a gap-graded material with good resistance to rutting and high durability. modified bitumen✹SBS✹SBR✹PE\EV A✹It differs from HRA in that the mortar is designed to just fill the voids in the coarse aggregate whereas, in HRA, coarse aggregate is introduced into the mortar and does not provide a continous stone matrix. The higher stone content HRAs ,however, are rather similar to SMA but are not wide used as wearing courses in the UK, being preferred for roadbase and basecourse construction.A variety of thin and what were called ultra thin surfacings (nowadays, the tendency is to use the term …thin surfacings‟ for both thin and ultra thin surfac ings ) have been introduced in recent years, principally as a result of development work concentrated in France.These materials vary in their detailed constituents but usually have an aggregate grading similar to SMA and often incorporate a polymer modified bitumen.They may be used over a high stiffness roadbase and basecourse or used for resurfacing of existing pavements. For heavy duty pavements (i .e those designed to have a useful life of forty years), the maintenance philosophy is one of minimum lane occupancy, which only allows time for replacement of the wearing course to these …long life‟ pavement structures. The new generation of thin surfacings allows this to be conveniently achieved.The various generic mixture types described above can be compared with respect to their mechanical properties and durability characteristics by reference to Fig.12.1. This shows, in principle, how low stone content HRA, asphaltic concrete, SMA and PA mixtures mobilize resistance to loading by traffic.Asphaltic concrete (Fig.12.1a)) presents something of a compromise when well designed, since the dense aggregate grading can offer good resistance to the shear stresses which cause rutting, while an adequate binder content will provide reasonable resistance to the tensile stresses which cause cracking.In general, the role of the aggregate dominates. DBMs tend to have less dense gradings and properties which, therefore, tend towards good rutting resistance andaway from good crack resistance.HRA (Fig.12.1b)) offers particularly good resistance to cracking through the binder rich mortar between the coarse aggregate particles. This also provides good durability but the lack of coarse aggregate content inhibits resistance to rutting.SMA and PA are shown in the same diagram ( Fig.c)) to emphasis the dominant role the coarse aggregate. In both case, well coated stone is used. In PA, the void space remains available for drainage of water, whilst in SMA, the space is occupied by a fine aggregate/ filler/ bitumen/ fibre mortar.Both materials offer good rutting resistance through the coarse aggregate content. The tensile strength of PA is low whilst that of SMA is probably adequate but little mechanical testing data have been reported to date.Drainage for Road and Airports✹Provision of adequate drainage is important factor in the location and geometric design of road and airports. Drainage facilities on any highway, street and airport should adequately provide for the flow of water away from the surface of the pavement to properly designed channels.Inadequate drainage will eventually result in serious damage to the structure.✹In addition, traffic may be slowed by accumulated water on the pavement, and accidents may occur as a result of hydroplaning and loss of visibility from splash and spray. The importance of adequate drainage is recognized in the amount of highway construction dollars allocated to drainage facilities. About25 percent of highway construction dollars are spent for erosion control anddrainage structures, such as culverts, bridges, channels, and ditches.✹Highway Drainage Structures✹One of the main concerns of the highway engineer is to provide an adequate size structure, such that the waterway opening is sufficiently large to discharge the expected flow of water.Inadequately sized structures can result in water impounding, which may lead to failure of the adjacent sections of the highway due to embankments being submerged in water for long periods.✹The two general categories of drainage structures are major and minor. Major structures are those with clear spans greater than 20 feet, whereas minor structures are those with clear spans of 20 feet or less .✹Major structures are usually large bridges, although multiple-span culverts may also be included in this class. Minor structures include small bridges and culverts.Emphasis is placed on selecting the span and vertical clearancerequirements for major structures. The bridge deck should be located above the high water mark .The clearance above the high water mark depends on whether the waterway is navigable ✹If the waterway is navigable, the clearance above the high water mark should allow the largest ship using the channel to pass underneath the bridge without colliding with the bridge deck. The clearance height, type, and spacing of piers also depend on the probability of ice jams and the extentto which floating logs and debris appear on the waterway during high water.✹An examination of the banks on either side of the waterway will indicate the location of the high water mark, since this is usually associated with signs of erosion and debris deposits. Local residents, who have lived near and observed the waterway during flood stages over a number of years, can also give reliable information on the location of the high water mark. Stream gauges that have been installed in the waterway for many years can also provide data that can be used to locate the high water mark.Minor structures, consisting of short-span bridges and culverts, are the predominant type of drainage structures on highways. Although openings for these structures are not designed to be adequate for the worst flood conditions, they shouldbe large enough to accommodate the flow conditions that might occur during the normal life expectancy of the structure.✹Provision should also be made for preventing clogging of the structure due to floating debris and large boulders rolling from the banks of steep channels.✹Culverts are made of different materials and in different shapes. Materials used to construct culverts include concrete(reinforced and unreinforced), corrugated steel, and corrugatedaluminum. Other materials may also be used to line the interiorof the culvert to prevent corrosion and abrasionor to reduce hydraulic resistance. For example, asphaltic concrete may be used to line corrugated metal culverts. The different shapes normally used in culvert construction include circular, rectangular (box), elliptical, pipe arch, metal box, and arch.✹The drainage problem is increased in these areas primarily for two reasons: the impervious nature of the area creates a very high runoff; and there is little room for natural water courses. It is often necessary to collect the entire storm water into a system of pipes and transmit it over considerable distances before it can be loosed again as surface runoff. This collection and transmission further increase the problem, since all of the water must be collected with virtually no pending, thus eliminating any natural storage; and through increased velocity the peak runoffs are reached more quickly.Also, the shorter times of peaks cause the system to be more sensitive to short-duration,high intensive rainfall.Storm sewers,like culverts and bridges,are designed for storms of various intensity-return-period relationships, depending upon the economy and amount of ponding that can be tolerated.✹Airport Drainage✹The problem of providing proper drainage facilities for airports is similar in many ways to that of highways and streets. However, because of the large and relatively flat surface involved, the varying soil conditions, the absence of natural water courses and possible side ditches, and the greater concentration of discharge at the terminus of the construction area, some phases of the problem are more complex. For the average airport the over-all area to be drained is relatively large and an extensive drainage system is required. The magnitude of such a system makes it even more imperative that sound engineering principles based on all of the best available data be used to ensure the most economical design.Overdesigning of facilities results in excessive money investment with no return, and underdesigning can result in conditions hazardous to the air traffic using the airport. In order to ensure surfaces that are smooth, firm, stable, and reasonably free from flooding, it is necessary to provide a system which will do several things.It must collect and remove the surface water from the airport surfaces; intercept and remove surface water flowing toward the airport from adjacent areas; collect and remove any excessive subsurface water beneath the surface of the airport facilities and in many cases lower the ground-water table; and provide protection against erosion of the sloping areas.路面公路的路面被分为两类:刚性的和柔性的。

FwaNational University of Singapore1.IntroductionPavements are designed and constructed to provide durable all-weather traveling surfaces for safe and speedy movement of people and goods with an acceptable level of comfort to users. These functional requirements of pavements are achieved through careful considerations in the following aspects during the design and construction phases: (a) selection of pavement type, (b) selection of materials to be used for various pavement layers and treatment of subgrade soils, (c) structural thickness design for pavement layers, (d) subsurface drainage design for the pavement system, (e) surface drainage and geometric design, and (f ) ridability of pavement surface.The two major considerations in the structural design of highway and airport pavements are material design and thickness design. Material design deals with the selection of suitable materials for various pavement layers and mix design of bituminous materials (for flexible pavement) or portland cement concrete (for rigid and interlocking block pavements). These topics are discussed in other chapters of this handbook. This chapter presents the concepts and methods of pavement thickness design. As the name implies, thickness design refers to the procedure of determining the required thickness for each pavement layer to provide a structurally sound pavement structure with satisfactory performance for the design traffic over the selected design life. Drainage design examines the entire pavement structure with respect to its drainage requirements and incorporates facilities to satisfy those requirements.2.Pavement Types and Materials2.1 Flexible versus Rigid PavementTraditionally, pavements are classified into two categories, namely flexible and rigid pavements. The basis for classification is the way by which traffic loads are transmitted to the subgrade soil through the pavement structure. As shown in Fig. 2.1, a flexible pavement provides sufficient thickness for load distribution through a multilayer structure so that the stresses and strains in the subgrade soil layers arewithin the required limits. It is expected that the strength of subgrade soil would have a direct bearing on the total thickness of the flexible pavement. The layered pavement structure is designed to take advantage of the decreasing magnitude of stresses with depth.A rigid pavement, by virtue of its rigidity, is able to effect a slab action to spread the wheel load over the entire slab area, as illustrated in Fig. 2.1. The structural capacity of the rigid pavement is largely provided by the slab itself. For the common range of subgrade soil strength, the required rigidity for a portland cement concrete slab (the most common form of rigid pavement construction) can be achieved without much variation in slab thickness. The effect of subgrade soil properties on the thickness of rigid pavement is therefore much less important than in the case of flexible pavement.FIGURE 2.1 Flexible and rigid pavements.2.2 Layered Structure of Flexible Pavement2.2.1 Surface CourseIn a typical conventional flexible pavement, known as asphalt pavement, the surface course usually consists of two bituminous layers — a wearing course and a binder course. To provide a durable, watertight, smooth-riding, and skid-resistant traveled surface, the wearing course is often constructed of dense-graded hot mixasphalt with polish-resistant aggregate. The binder course generally has larger aggregates and less asphalt. The composition of the bituminous mixtures and the nominal top size aggregates for the two courses are determined by the intended use, desired surface texture (for the case of wearing course), and layer thickness. A light application of tack coat of water-diluted asphalt emulsion may be used to enhance bonding between the two courses. Table 2.1shows selected mix compositions listed in ASTM Standard Specification D3515 [1992]. Open-graded wearing courses, some with air void exceeding 20%, have also been used to improve skid resistance and reduce splash during heavy rainfall by acting as a surface drainage layer.2.2.2 Base CourseBase and subbase layers of the flexible pavement make up a large proportion of the total pavement thickness needed to distribute the stresses imposed by traffic loading. Usually base course also serves as a drainage layer and provides protection against frost action. Crushed stone is the traditional material used for base construction to form what is commonly known as the macadam base course. In this construction, choking materials consisting of natural sand or the fine product resulting from crushing coarse aggregates are added to produce a denser structure with higher shearing resistance. Such base courses are called by different names, depending on the construction method adopted.Dry-bound macadam is compacted by means of rolling and vibration that work the choking materials into the voids of larger stones. For water-bound macadam, after spreading of the choking materials, water is applied before the entire mass is rolled. Alternatively, a wet-mix macadam may be used by premixing crushed stone or slag with a controlled amount of water. The material is spread by a paving machine and compacted by a vibrating roller.Granular base materials may be treated with either asphalt or cement to enhance load distribution capability. Bituminous binder can be introduced by spraying heated asphalt cement on consolidated and rolled crushed stone layer to form a penetration macadam road base. Alternatively, bituminous road bases can be designed and laid as in the case for bituminous surface courses. Cement-bound granular base material is plant mixed with an optimal moisture content for compaction. It is laid by paver and requires time for curing. Lean concrete base has also been used successfully under flexible pavements.TABLE 2.1 Example Composition of Dense Bituminous Paving Mixtures2.2.3Subbase CourseThe subbase material is of lower quality than the base material in terms of strength, plasticity, and gradation, but it is superior to the subgrade material in these properties. It may be compacted granular material or stabilized soil, thus allowing building up of sufficient thickness for the pavement structure at relatively low cost. On a weak subgrade, it also serves as a useful working platform for constructing the base course. subbase course may be omitted if the subgrade soil satisfies the requirements specified for subbase material.2.2.4 Prepared SubgradeMost natural soils forming the roadbed for pavement construction require some form of preparation or treatment. The top layer of a specified depth is usually compacted to achieve a desired density. The depth of compaction and the compacted density required depend on the type of soil and magnitudes of wheel loads and tire pressures. For highway construction, compaction to 100% modified AASHTO density covering a thickness of 12 in. (300 mm) below the formation level is commonly done. Compaction depth of up to 24 in. (600 mm) may be required for heavily trafficked pavements. For example, in the case of cohesive subgrade, the Asphalt Institute [1991]requires a minimum of 95% of AASHTO T180 (Method D) density for the top 12 in. (300 mm) and a minimum of 90% for all fill areas below the top 12 in. (300 mm). For cohesionless subgrade, the corresponding compaction requirements are 100 and 95%, respectively.Due to the higher wheel loads and tire pressures of aircraft, many stringent compaction requirements are found in airport pavement construction.In some instances it may be economical to treat or stabilize poor subgrade materials and reduce the total required pavement thickness. Portland cement, lime, and bitumen have all been used successfully for this purpose. The choice of the method of stabilization depends on the soil properties, improvement expected, and cost of construction.2.3 Rigid PavementRigid pavements constructed of portland cement concrete are mostly found in heavy-traffic highways and airport pavements. To allow for expansion, contraction, warping, or breaks in construction of the concrete slabs, joints are provided in concrete pavements.The joint spacing, which determines the length of individual slab panels, depends on the use of steel reinforcements in the slab. The jointed plain concrete pavemen (JPCP), requiring no steel reinforcements and thus the least expensive to construct, is a popular form of construction. Depending on the thickness of the slab, typical joint spacings for plain concrete pavements are between 10 and 20 ft (3 and 6 m). For slabs with joint spacing greater than 6 m, steel reinforcements have to be provided for crack control, giving rise to the use of jointed reinforced concrete pavements (JRCP) and continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP). Continuously reinforced concrete pavements usually contain higher than 0.6% steel reinforcement to eliminate the need to provide joints other than construction and expansion joints.The base course for rigid pavement, sometimes called subbase,is often provided to prevent pumping (ejection of foundation material through cracks or joints resulting from vertical movement of slabs under traffic). The base course material must provide good drainage and be resistant to the erosive action of water. When dowel bars are not provided in short jointed pavements, it is common practice to construct cement-treated base to assist in load transfer across the joints. 3.Considerations for Highway and Airport PavementsThe two pavement types, flexible and rigid pavement, have been used for road and airport pavement construction. The choice of pavement type depends on the intended functional use of the pavement (such as operating speed and safety requirements), types of traffic loading, cost of construction, and maintenance consideration.The main differences in design considerations for highway and airport pavements arise from the characteristics of traffic using them. Over the typical design life span of 10 to 20 years for flexible pavements, or 20 to 40 years for rigid pavements, a highway pavement will be receiving highly channelized wheel load applications in the millions. Consideration of the effects of load repetitions — such as cumulative permanent deformation, crack propagation, and fatigue failure — becomes important. The total number of load applications in the entire design life of a highway pavement must therefore be known for pavement structural design. In contrast, the frequency of aircraft loading on airport pavement is much less. There are also the so-called wander effect of aircraft landing and taking off and the large variation in the wheel assembly configurations and layout of different aircraft. These make wheel loading on airport pavements less channelized than on highway pavements. Identification of the most critical aircraft is therefore necessary for structural design of airport pavements.Another important difference is in the magnitude of wheel loads. Airport pavements receive loads far exceeding those applied on the highway. An airport pavement may have to be designed to withstand equivalent single wheel loads of the order of 50 t (approximately 50 tons), whereas the maximum single wheel load allowed on the road pavement by most highway authorities is about 10 t (approximately 10 tons). Furthermore, the wheel tire pressure of an aircraft of about 1200 kPa (175 psi) is nearly twice the value of a normal truck tire. These differences greatly influence the material requirements for the pavements.公路和机场路面设计(节选)T. F. Fwa新加坡国立大学1.绪论路面的设计和建造是为了能够给行人和货物在其上面进行全天候持久的安全迅速活动提供一个舒适合意的水平环境。
