    1.2 Principles of Pavement Engineering

    Uploaded by

    Ryan Christopher
    The document discusses several key considerations for pavement engineering including financial cost, availability of materials, sustainability, and design requirements. It provides examples of the embedded energy and costs for different pavement materials. It also assigns determining design requirements for different types of roads including high-speed highways, urban roads, rural roads, parking areas, ports, and airfields.

    Principles of Pavement

    Engineering
    EnP.Engr. Jefferson R. Vallente Jr., CE, Assoc. TSSP, M.EASTS
    Previous Meetings: Today!
    First Consideration: Financial Cost
    • Pavement options is always constrained by
    cost.
    First Consideration: Financial Cost
    • Availability of material
    – Soil is effectively free, however transporting the
    material make it costly
    – aggregates from rivers though appears economically
    advantageous
    Identity Crisis. Am I a bridge or a road?
    Comparison of Costs
    • Granular materials are 25% of high-quality
    unbound crushed rock sub-base to 125% for
    ultra-tightly controlled crushed rock base.
    • Stabilization of a native soil through hydraulic
    binders cost 50% of a crushed rock sub-base.
    But not all soil is suited to such stabilization
    which most of the time contributes to failure
    ☺
    FYI:
    FYI:
    First Consideration: Financial Cost

    • Highly dependent on Geography


    – For Sources of Materials
    – Linear distance of stationing
    In general,
    • Engineers in the first instance is not directly
    concerned with the cost. Many solutions may
    be technically excellent but economically non-
    viable.
    Not all solutions may
    be cost effective!
    Sustainability and the environment
    • Material Sources
    Sustainability and the environment
    • Energy Issue
    Materials Embedded energy: MJ/t

    Ingredients Sand and gravels 5-10

    Crushed rock aggregate 20-25


    Bitumen 3,200-3,800
    Portland cement 4,500-5,000
    Reinforcing steel 23,000-27,000

    Mixtures Hot-mix asphalt 600-800


    Cold-mix asphalt 150-200
    Lean concrete 450-500
    Pavement Quality Concrete 750-1000
    Reinforced Concrete 1,100-1,500
    Transportation All materials (per journey km) 12-20
    1 watt = 1 J/sec
    Assignment:
    • Determine at least 4 design requirements for high-speed
    highways.
    • Determine at least 4 design requirements for an urban
    road.
    • Determine at least 2 design requirements for rural
    roads.
    • Determine at least 2 design requirements for car, coach
    and lorry parks.
    • Determine at least 1 design requirement for ports and
    heavy industrial pavements and 4 for airfield
    pavements.
    • Using the previous assignment describe if the
    requirements apply for the given road (urban or rural).
