A road is a path connecting two places that has been paved or otherwise improved to allow travel by sometransportations .
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.
“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.
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
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
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
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
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
Vertical curvesprovides a transition between two sloped roadways, allowing avehicle to negotiate the elevation rate change at a gradual raterather than a sharp cut
Cross section Lanes – shoulders – median - sidewalks – curbs –slopes - barriers – bikeways – infrastructures
Pavement structure
Soil A mixture of mineral grainsAnd solid particles with liquid and gas in the empty spacebetween the solid particles
Sampling
RepresentativeSizeTransportationInformation
Reducing site sample to Test sizeMechanical SplitterQuartering method
Moisture content (mc%) Oven Speedy
Sieve analysis Sorting the grains with same diameter and determination of particle size distribution using specified sieves
What are these numbers ?
Distribution curve
Atterberg Limits(soil passing #40 - 0.425 mm )
Plastic Limit
Liquid limitCasagrand method
Cone penetration method
Plasticity index PI = Liquid limit – plastic limit
Higher PIHigher plasticityHigher swellingHigher compressibilityHigher activityHigher volumetric change
Soil classification (AASHTO) system
Compaction Process of increasing of unit weight of soil by forcing soil solids into a dense state and decrease air voids
TestsLab ( Proctor ) In situ (sand cone – nuclear gauge )
