Highway Network System

The document summarizes a seminar presentation on highway network systems. It discusses modern soil stabilization techniques like cement treated base that combines soil, aggregate and cement. It also discusses the use of fly ash in concrete and different types of retaining walls. New pavement techniques like asphalt chip seals and asphalt emulsion sealcoats are explained. In conclusion, it notes how highways have evolved from accommodating people on foot to modern motor vehicles, facilitated by advances in road construction.

CONCLUSIONS
INTRODUCTION

A highway is a public road, especially a major road connecting


two or more destinations.
Any interconnected set of highways can be variously referred
to as a "highway system", a "highway network", or a "highway
transportation system”.
The history of highway engineering gives us an idea about the
roads of ancient times.
MODERN SOIL STABILIZATION TECHNIQUES

 CTB (CEMENT TREATED BASE)


 According to the PCA (Portland Cement Association), CTB (Cement
Treated Base) has provided economical, long lasting pavement foundation.
These structures have combined soil and/or aggregate with cement and
water which compacted to high density.

Cement-Treated Base

Unstabilized Granular Base


COMPOSITION AND CONSTRUCTION

The mixture shall be composed of existing sub-grade, base


course and surface course materials, and/or an imported soil
aggregate, with Portland cement and water added.
MATERIALS

WATER:Water used in mixing or curing shall be clean and


free from injurious amounts of oil, salt, or other deleterious
substances.
CEMENT: Fly ash may be used as a partial replacement for
the cement. Replacement amounts, not exceeding 25% by
weight, shall be determined through trial batch investigations
using the specific materials proposed for the project.
USE OF FLY ASH IN CONCRETE

Fly ash is one of the residues generated in combustion, and


comprises the fine particles that rise with the flue gases.
 Ash which does not rise is termed bottom ash.
In an industrial context, fly ash usually refers to ash produced
during combustion of coal.
RETAINING WALLS

A retaining wall is a structure designed and constructed to


resist the lateral pressure of soil when there is a desired change
in ground elevation that exceeds the angle of repose of the soil.
The active pressure increases on the retaining wall
proportionally from zero at the upper grade level to a
maximum value at the lowest depth of the wall.
TYPES OF RETAINING WALLS
NEW TECHNIQUES IN PAVEMENT

ASPHALT CHIP SEALS


ASPHALT EMULSION SEALCOATS
ASPHALT SLURRY SEALS
ASPHALT SURFACE COATINGS
CONCLUSIONS

Traditionally highways were used by people on foot or on


horses.
Later they also accommodated carriages, bicycles and
eventually motor cars, facilitated by advancements in road
construction.
 In the 1920s and 1930s many nations began investing heavily
in progressively more modern highway systems to spur
commerce and bolster national defense.
