Widening and Strengthening of Existing State Highway;Case Problem of Package M4(Kship)
Abstract
The Widening and strengthening of Existing National Highway Development In India has been executed by National Highway Authority of India , Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORT&H ) ,Government of India .Existing road condition, traffic volume and composition to predict road deterioration as per the urban and rural road conditions was not so satisfactory in terms of IRI value.
The Highway Development & Management (HDM) software simulates total life cycle conditions and costs for an analysis period under a user specified scenario of circumstances. A network economic evaluation is the most challenging use of the model, but the effort is well justified due to the potential savings on transportation costs achieved by comparing various alternatives and performing a budget constraint optimization
Conclusion
This dissertation deals with a new, rational approach for design of bituminous overlays for Indian highways. Salient features of an in-vehicle FWD, BACKGAIIT, a program for back calculation of layer module, have been presented in the paper. Details of various investigations conducted on different highways using the in-vehicle FWD have also been presented in the paper.
