Road Design
Road Design Our Identity Process
Road Design is the engineering art that allows vehicles and pedestrians to move safely, quickly, and economically from one place to another. A clean road design accelerates the economic growth of a country and greatly reduces traffic congestion.
Main parts and processes of road design
1. Main Areas of Road Design
Road design is divided into two main parts:
• Geometric Design: The direction of the road is determined by the width, curves, and gradient of the road.
• Structural Design: It determines the strength of the road and determines the layers of the road based on the traffic load and weather conditions.
2. Path design sequences
Steps to be taken before taking a road:
• Feasibility Study: Studies the economic, social and environmental benefits.
• Surveying: Tools for topography.
• Soil Investigation: Examine the strengths and characteristics of the field that will lead the way.
• Hydrology: Determine the amount of rainfall in the area through culverts and bridges.
3. Types of roads
The roads are divided into two according to their operation:
Description of the road type
Asphalt (Flexible Pavement) makes our carriage stretch, has a variable nature and is not easy to pave.
Concrete (Rigid Pavement) is more dignified than cement, very strong and useful for curved times (and often used for heavy loads).
4. Points to be considered during design
• Safety: Sidewalks, traffic signs and night lights.
• Drainage: As the saying goes, "the dew of the road is water," removing water from the road quickly.
• Sustainable growth: Estimate potential linear traffic growth in 10 to 20 years.
