What is the definition of allowable axle load? Every aspect is crucial, from understanding soil behaviour to constructing a structure. On-time transportation of construction materials is essential for a smooth construction process. However, efficient transportation requires good transport infrastructure, which includes well-constructed roads. Heavy vehicles have a massive impact on roads. This is where allowable… Continue reading Allowable axle load

What are aggregates? Aggregates are granular materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, crushed hydraulic cement concrete, or air-cooled iron blast-furnace slag. These materials are combined with hydraulic cement to produce concrete or mortar. Aggregates are classified into two groups based on size: coarse aggregates (material retained on the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve) and fine aggregates… Continue reading Aggregates

They serve specific functions, providing connectivity to areas like construction sites, forests, state institutions, and sources of raw materials. Although simpler than regular roads, access roads provide numerous benefits, particularly in specialized operations like timber harvesting and site development.  … Continue reading Access roads
