Local Low Volume Roads and Streets


Book Description

This reference provides local agencies with basic information concerning local low volume roads and streets (LLVRS). In 1989 the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Highway Division recognized the need for an easy-to-use reference for people working with local governments. An ASCE specialty conference was held March 2-4, 1992, in Arlington, Texas, to refine and finalize this publication.




State and Local Highway Training and Technology Resources

Gravel Roads


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.




Low-volume Roads


Book Description

The conference theme was new thoughts on appropriate criteria for low volume roads. All papers presented at the conference have been published in Transportation Research Record 898. This circular contains the text of special addresses made at the conference not published in the TR Record. Included are the keynote address, summaries of the conference from both American and International viewpoints, topic areas of future research identified by a special panel conferees and summations of informal presentations made to the committee.

Preservation Approaches for High-traffic-volume Roadways


Book Description

TRB's second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R26-RR-1: Preservation Approaches for High-Traffic-Volume Roadways documents the state of the practice of preservation treatment on asphalt and concrete pavements on high- and low-volume roadways. The report also includes general guidelines on the application of preservation treatments on high-volume roadways. The same project that produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R26-RR-1 also produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R26-RR-2: Guidelines for the Preservation of High-Traffic-Volume Roadways, which explores the state of the practice for preservation treatments on high- and low-volume asphalt and concrete roadways. The report also includes suggested guidelines on the application of preservation treatments on high-volume roadways.
