Results indicate that the porous concrete with a cement dosage only 150 kg/m^3 has high strength and satisfying permeability when the aggregate has a passing percentage of 4.75 mm around 10% to 15%, with the increase of the maximum size of the aggregate, the strength of the porous concrete decreases and the permeability increases. When the proportion of the 9.5 mm to 4.75 mm particle in the coarse aggregate is about 20%, there are no interference among the particles by Weymouth theory, the strength of the pervious porous concrete reaches the peak value. The optimum continues gradation limit of the aggregate for porous concrete pervious road base material is recommended according to the theoretical calculation and experimental results.展开更多

The mechanical properties of cement treated mix granulate （CTMG） were studied, which was designed with 65% crushed masonry and 35% crushed concrete by mass. The central composite design was employed to prepare specimens with different levels of cement content and degree of compaction. All specimens were cured in a fog room at 20 ℃ for a specific number of days. The compressive strength and the indirect tensile strength were determined through the monotonic compression and indirect tension tests. Effective prediction models for the mechanical properties of CTMG, in relation to the cement content, the degree of compaction and the curing time, were successfully established for a mix containing 65% crushed masonry and 35% crushed concrete by mass.展开更多

These mixtures contain higher levels of （4mm-0.0 mm） dust, than would be the case in standard un bound road base mixtures. The combined influence of the steel slag and granulated blast furnace slag wastes content is to enhance the stiffness of the road base materials and save materials and cost during road construction. Triaxial repeated load tests were performed on the unbound and lightly bound materials to measure their resilient modulus. The test results show important improvements in the bond strength between the contents of road base materials. This offers the prospect of using these materials in road base materials to reduce the use of primary aggregates and thus minimize the cost of roads and highways construction.展开更多

Four parameters,the repeatability standard deviation of the data in the same driveway, the reproducibility standard deviation of the data in the different driveway, the consistency statistics value of the data in the different driveway, and the consistency statistics value of the data in the same driveway, were introduced for the construction uniformity analysis. The experimental result shows that the materials modulus calculated from FWD has a highly correlative relationship with the uniformity of road base.展开更多

The delay of maintenance works can lead the road in the stage of expensive rehabilitation and reconstruction. In Nepal, Department of Roads (DoR) is responsible for maintenance of strategic roads of country. The maintenance practice of the road under Department of Road is predominantly based on Strengthen Maintenance Division Process where several maintenance activities like Routine maintenance, Recurrent Maintenance, Periodic Maintenance and Emergency Maintenance are planned and carried out. The maintenance work is based on traditional quantity and unit price based short term maintenance contracts, where maintenance of physical works is outsourced. Client demands the contractor what work is to be done, when to be do it and the extent of the work. The contractor is paid on the basis of a defined output or quantity accomplished, and the schedule of the rates. DoR engineers required full time supervision of work. Pilot based performance based maintenance practice of road started in Nepal in 2003. The study assesses performance road maintenance practices of road maintenance in Nepal on the basis of the framework of cost efficiency, level of service effectiveness and quality of service. The study concluded that implementation of Performance Based Maintenance Contract (PBMC) was not successful in Nepal as Road Asset condition was not maintained to performance standard. One of the reasons is the weak service delivery of contractor alongside weak contract enforcement from the road agency.展开更多
