Pavement Design of Low Volume Roads Using the DCP-DN Method, Manual
The purpose of this Manual is to provide guidance on the structural design of gravel and paved roads using the DCP-DN Design Method
Abstract
UK Aid has been at the forefront of supporting research in the design of low volume roads (LVRs) in Africa and Asia to improve rural access to infrastructure and transport services. The research has included the development and enhancement of a method of pavement design for low volume roads (LVRs) based on DN values for materials strength derived with the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP). The DCP-DN method is an alternative to the more traditional methods of pavement design, which are based on the use of the California Bearing Ratio (CBR). The purpose of this Manual is to provide guidance on the structural design of gravel and paved roads using the DCP-DN Design Method.
This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
