Title: SURFACE DESIGN AND REHABILITATION GUIDELINES FOR LOW-VOLUME ROADS - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Abstract: This manual is for use by owners, managers, and engineers involved with the design, rehabilitation, and maintenance of surfacing for low-volume road networks. The considerations and constraints associated with the design process are discussed. These include drainage, geometrics, traffic, materials, surface characteristics, and shoulders. Design procedures especially for low-volume roads are given for both paved and aggregate surfaces. Paved surfaces include surface treatments, asphalt concrete, and portland cement concrete. Methods of maintaining and rehabilitating low-volume roads are also presented because of the importance of protecting the large investment in existing low-volume roads. Finally, a discussion of pavement management practices and the basics of pavement evaluation and performance is given so low-volume road agencies can begin to develop these useful tools.
