ISBN:
Category : Gravel roads
Languages : en
Pages : 112
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.

Guide to Performance-Based Road Maintenance Contracts
Author: Asian Development BankPublisher: Asian Development Bank
ISBN: 9292611097
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Road asset management is one of the top priorities of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy 2020. The implementation of performance-based road maintenance contracts (PBCs)—an essential element of road asset management—promotes effective and efficient maintenance of road networks. Well-designed PBCs keep roads in predefined good condition at relatively low cost. This guide aims to help policy makers in CAREC member countries understand and implement PBCs. After a brief history of the development of PBCs, it discusses the various types of PBCs and their relative advantages and disadvantages. It highlights PBC implementation in selected developed, developing, and transitional countries, including CAREC member countries, to illustrate best practices.

Performance-based Highway Maintenance and Operations Management
Author: Michael J. MarkowPublisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 0309223474
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
"This synthesis examines current performance-based management practices that are applied by state departments of transportation (DOTs) in highway maintenance and operations (M&O). Past studies have focused on the elements that make up a performance-based M&O approach, such as condition ratings, levels of service, performance measures, and threshold values. This study focuses on how state DOTs actually use performance-based measures to manage their highway programs."--Preface.
Statistical Quality Design and Control
Author: Richard E. DeVorPublisher: Pearson
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 968
Book Description
Emphasizing proper methods for data collection, control chart construction and interpretation, and fault diagnosis for process improvement, this text blends statistical process control (SPC) and design of experiments (DOE) concepts and methods for quality design and improvement. Importance is placed on both the philosophical/conceptual underpinnings and the techniques and methods of SPC and DOE. The concepts and methods of Taguchi for quality design are combined with more traditional experimental design methods to promote the importance of viewing quality from an engineering design perspective.
