Book Description
Excerpt from Rural Highway Pavements, Maintenance and Reconstruction: A Discussion of General Principles Illustrated by Current and Recommended Practice This book is the second of a series of volumes presenting the road problem from the standpoint of the constructing engineer. It completes the text book portion of the series. This volume contains basic data ordinarily used in the design, construction, maintenance and reconstruction of rural highways. The object of this book is to emphasize and illustrate the application of well recognized engineering principles which have been more or less befogged by non-technical propaganda. The method adopted includes development of tentative theory illustrated by typical reports covering the usual problems. Specific examples of actual practice are given throughout the text showing that if advantage is taken of the technical knowledge of engineers in connection with design and type selection, the mileage of programs can often be increased at least 10 per cent over what is actually obtained under a system of rigidly standardized and stereotyped design. Furthermore if legislatures will have foresight enough to follow engineering advice in raising funds for maintenance and renewal the total final cost of the road systems can be reduced at least 20 per cent below the usual reported costs. The main value of this book probably lies in its definite design data, its discussions of the suitability of different pavements considering maintenance, renewal and motor vehicle operating costs, and in the selected official reports which apply the general principles of design to specific cases. Acknowledgement is made of the courteous cooperation of highway departments, material industries and individual engineers and authors in furnishing data for this manuscript. I wish particularly to acknowledge the constructive criticism of G. G. Miller, H. G. Hotchkiss, C. M. Edwards and Herbert Michaels. Readers are to suggest additions or corrections which will make the book more useful to highway engineers.

Gravel Roads

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.

PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Author: Faiq M. Sarhan Al-ZwainyPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244561087
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This book was written by academic's and practitioners who have lead the implementation of highway management processes and tools at several major corporations. The contents of this book have been presented in an interesting and enjoyable way, enhanced by real pictures of highway projects and pavement maintenance. This book contains five chapters, the first chapter entitled MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT: It was to clarify the concept and importance of maintenance and management professionally and smoothly, While the title of the second chapter is the HIGHWAY PROJECTS, and provided a detailed explanation of the management and implementation of highways, while reviewing the types and importance in the construction sector. The third chapter, entitled PAVEMENT DETERIORATION: The researchers reviewed the types of DETERIORATION in the riged and asphalt pavement, and explained the methods of treatment and maintenance necessary for each type. While the fourth chapter was entitled HIGHY WAY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS: It reviewed the methods of maintenance and importance in highway project, the fifth chapter entitled: PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: This chapter reviewed the most important global strategies in the management of pavement maintenance.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Location, Construction, and Maintenance of Roads Highway engineers in all parts of the Country generously con tributed material and advice. Special attention was paid' to ascertaining reasons for unusual methods, in order to avoid the publication of anything useful only in restricted localities and possibly leading to trouble if tried generally. The purpose was to furnish information Of a national value rather than an expres sion of the views Of a few individuals, who inevitably have per sonal preferences and prejudices. As each section was finished it was submitted for criticism to engineers or chemists with special knowledge of the subjects discussed, and most of the chap ters formed by combining these revised sections were sent out to other engineers for further criticism. Some of the chapters were revised a number of times before they were finally ap proved. As a consequence, although my name appears as the author on the title page, the book is rather the product Of the cooperation Of over fifty Of the leading American highway engi neers and the patient and intelligent handling Of the details of the work by Miss Isabelle Stockett, at the time chief clerk Of the American Highway Association. This book appeared originally as Part II of the 1917 Good Roads Year Book. Its wide circulation, the many references to it in technical journals, and its use as a textbook by engineering colleges, indicating that the volume had won a distinct position in technical literature, led the Directors of the American High way Association to assign the copyright to the D. Van N ostrand Company, when the Association was dissolved a few days ago. By this action the results Of the cooperative labors of so many specialists will remain available to the public.
