Faculty of Engineering. Dept. of Civil Engineering. Theses -- Civil engineering Dissertations -- Civil engineering Pavements -- Defects Pavements -- Maintenance and repair Civil engineering Thesis (MScEng (Civil Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. Mozambique is investing heavily in rehabilitating and upgrading the current roadway infrastructure. Investigation by the Mozambican roads authority found that some consulting engineers and contractors were not familiar with Mozambican conditions and materials. The World Bank sponsored a research project to support the roadway infrastructure preservation and maintenance efforts. The thesis work presented forms an integral part of the work conducted by the World Bank project research team. The objective of the thesis is to characterise cement stabilized sand bases in Mozambique under Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) in terms of stiffness and deflection responses under load trafficking. This work forms the basis for developing guidelines for a mechanistic-empirical design method for Mozambican conditions and materials. Reported findings from initial MMLS3 testing conducted for the World Bank project were used to scope the full-scale research study and provided guidelines for the selection and construction of full scale test sections on natural subgrade. The APT presented encompass full-scale pavement testing including wet trafficking cycles to emulate environmental effects. 2007-11-02T05:47:16Z 2010-06-01T08:36:59Z 2007-11-02T05:47:16Z 2010-06-01T08:36:59Z 2007-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/1938 en University of Stellenbosch 29235010 bytes application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
