A road is a path connecting two places that has been paved or otherwise improved to allow travel by sometransportations .

Page 4: Introduction to road materials Part 1

The beginning of road constructioncould be dated to the time of the Romans. With the advancementof technology from carriages pulled

by two horses to vehicles.

Page 5: Introduction to road materials Part 1

“Tutti le strade portano a Roma” All roads lead to Romewas being used as early .It was based off of the ancient Roman road system where roads radiated fromthe capital of Rome.

Page 6: Introduction to road materials Part 1

The construction of modernhighways did not begin until the late 19th to early 20th century , the Long IslandMotor Parkway was the firstroadway design for automobile use only

Page 7: Introduction to road materials Part 1

Highways Is the type of roadsdesigned to obtains the safe

movement of high-speed vehicles, through the removal of intersections.

Aims from road construction

• Establishing a new community• Connecting between places• Extend and development current axes to prevent wasting time and money

Page 9: Introduction to road materials Part 1

Road construction prior studies

1- Exploring studies :Population Number – activities –customs and tradition – favorite conveyance for transportationClimateTemperature – humidity – rains –storms - floods EnvironmentalHazards – environmental systemGeology and soilStructure – stratigraphy –sedimentology – hydrology –earthquakes – geophysics – pits – water content – classification – CBR – shear tests

Page 10: Introduction to road materials Part 1

SurveySatellite images - Aerial photographs – topographic maps - GPSMaterials Sources – types - transportation TrafficVolume – classification – weights ObstructionsMountains – dams – rivers – seas – railways – villages –sand dunes – airports – factories ……etc

At the end of this stages we selecting suitable three pathsfor road

Page 11: Introduction to road materials Part 1

2- Primary studiesMore detailed for above sections but work will be at the three chosen paths , making traverse for every one of them , setting in-out , then at the end of this stage we will select the best path for our road 3- Final detailed studiesMore deeply for every section in exploration studies DrawingsSoil and material studiesQuantitiesSpecifications

ProfileHorizontal curvesprovides a transition betweentwo tangent strips of roadway, allowing a vehicle to turn at a gradual rate rather than a sharp cut

Page 13: Introduction to road materials Part 1

Vertical curvesprovides a transition between two sloped roadways, allowing avehicle to negotiate the elevation rate change at a gradual raterather than a sharp cut
