Book Description
Many low-volume roadways in the county road system in the State of Minnesota consist of unpaved aggregate surfaces. It is the responsibility of the county engineer to make determinations regarding the design and maintenance of such roads and particularly for specific needs, such as weight restrictions. One method used by several counties in Minnesota is the construction of a bituminous-stabilized layer by adding several inches of new aggregate and stabilizing it with an engineered, water-based asphalt emulsion using mix-in-place methods. This report describes a design method providing highway engineers and their staffs with the technical backing needed for the designs selected. This report describes the design method for determining the required thickness of stabilized and unstabilized layers in this type of aggregate-surfaced road. This basic design method is based on the material properties and a correlation between layered-elastic analysis, dynamic cone penetrometer, and falling-weight deflectometer testing. The load rating analysis uses the Minnesota Department of Transportation methodology of estimating load rating on low-volume roads using falling weight deflectometer data. A software package is also presented which was developed as part of this project.

Book Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Book Description
The purpose of this synthesis is to bring together materials and information on the design and maintenance of low volume roads. A literature search has been obtained from HRIS, NTIS and the Engineering Index. Over 1,000 questionnaires were then sent to cities, counties and consultants in the northern tier of states and the Canadian provinces. Interviews were also held with representatives of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Duluth, Hennepin and St. Louis Counties regarding their low volume road design and rehabilitation procedures.

Book Description
This Low-Volume Roads Engineering Best Management Practices Field Guide is intended to provide an overview of the key planning, location, design, construction, and maintenance aspects of roads that can cause adverse environmental impacts and to list key ways to prevent those impacts. Best Management Practices are general techniques or design practices that, when applied and adapted to fit site-specific conditions, will prevent or reduce pollution and maintain water quality. BMPs for roads have been developed by many agencies since roads often have a major adverse impact on water quality, and most of those impacts are preventable with good engineering and management practices. Roads that are not well planned or located, not properly designed or constructed, not well maintained, or not made with durable materials often have negative effects on water quality and the environment.

Book Description
This volume includes a collection of research and practical papers from an international research and technology activities on recent developments in pavement design, modeling and performance, and effects on infrastructure, green energy, technology and integration. Sustainability is increasingly a key priority in engineering practices. With the aging transportation infrastructure and renewed emphasis on infrastructure renovation by transportation agencies, innovations are urgently needed to develop materials, designs, and practices to ensure the sustainability of transportation infrastructure. The volume is based on the best contributions to the 2nd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2018 – The official international congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE).
