SUMMARY:A Fancy Pile of Rocks: A Framework for Holistic Thinking about Pavement for Non-Technical Owners and New Engineers
DESCRIPTION:Pavement structural strength is a sum of its various parts, not all of which are easily understood. As with all civil engineering, the structure is only as good as the weakest component, not least of which is the ground it stands on. Because ‘natural ground’ upon which structures are founded is described in geotechnical reports through a series of tests and parameters, and because paving solutions are explained in an array of choices based on various inputs, many parts of the narrative can seem mysterious and opaque to the non-technical or newly technical. ‘A Fancy Pile of Rocks’ is a framework for thinking about pavement and understanding some of the choices that are inevitably made during the planning, design, award, construction, and maintenance phases, so that the attendee is conversant in the terminology of the trade, and aware of the implications of decision making on the resiliency and serviceability of the owner’s roadway.\n
