3R StandardsResurfacing, Restoration, & Rehabilitation
Ch. 7
1
Objectives
• Know what “3R” stands for
• Know basics of 3R standards for freeways
• Know basics of 3R standards for non-freeways
2
-Freeway 3R projects (Ch 7)
-Non-Freeway 3R projects (download from lectures)
3
Resurfacing
Placement of an additional pavement layer over existing traveled way to provide strength or improve serviceability
4
Restoration & Rehabilitation
Work required to return traveled way to a suitable condition for resurfacing while improving highway safety
5
3R-Freeways (Oregon DOT I-5 aerial interchange photos)
6
Standards same as HDM Ch. 2 for freeways except:
Standards of the Day (Table 7-1, pg 7-11)-widths of lanes, shoulders, median-grades-radii-SSD-Max. Super-Median width
7
Needs/deficiencies should be clearly identified
8
Pavt Condition & Treatment
• Identify types of deterioration
• Perform a pavement evaluation
• Decide the appropriate corrective action
9
Freeway 3R
• Single course overlay (40 mm)• T&L & single course overlay >40mm• Multiple overlays• No extensive replacement of exist. Pavt.• No new additional travel lanes
10
Soils
Evaluate when widening pavement
11
Utilities
Relocate or remove from clear zone
12
Lighting
Rehab, upgrade or remove non-functional lighting
Locate standards outside of clear zone or deflection distance of barrier, or provide breakaway type
13
Future MPT
Review potential improvements that could be made to improve future maintenance or construction on the freeway (check w/ maintenance)
14
Traffic Data
• Mainlaine (AADT, DDHV, % HV)• Ramps (DDHV)• Crossroads (DHV)• Calc LOS for mainline, ramps, and
intersections• Design year (ETC+10)• Accident analysis (most recent 3 years)
15
Non-Conforming Features• LOS• Clear Zone• Intersection Turning Radii• Super Routs and Roffs• Min. Length of vertical curves• Lane drops• Broken back curves• Compound curve ratios• Accel/Decel lane lengths & types • HOV & Transit Accommodations• Weaving Lengths• Design storm for drainage facilities• TCD
16
Medians
• Check clear zone
• Emergency crossovers (1:10 or flatter and culverts >300 mm w/ safety grates)
17
Curbs
• Usually remove
• If not removed document as a nonconforming feature (historical parkway, drainage, erosion control, structural integrity of bridge)
• Consider traversable versus non-mountable or mountable curb
18
Clear zone
• Provide minimum of 9m
• Remove FO
• Identify hazards (cliffs, bodies of water, etc)
19
Guide railing
• Consider elimination by regrading• Bring up to current standards• Add new to meet current warrants• Remove trees and FO from deflection area
20
TCD
• Update to current MUTCD
21
Drainage-Roadside Surface Drainage System
• Site Inspection• Recalculate flow rate/capacities if not
functioning adequately• Roff should not cover more than shoulder and
½ of travel lane to prevent hydroplaning
22
Drainage- Cross Drainage Structures
•Site Inspection•Evaluate inadequate structures•Consider replacement of structures that are approaching their anticipated design life
23
Drainage- Hazardous Features
•Remove
•Modify
•Shield
24
3R: Non-Freeways (http://www.ci.walnut-creek.ca.us/historygifs.html
25
3 MAJOR STEPS• Assess current conditions– Accident Data– Site Inspections– Design and Traffic Characteristics
• Determine project scope– Incorporate minor improvements if cost effective
• Document design process– Existing Conditions– Design Criteria (3R)– Design Exceptions– Recommended Design
26
3R Standards1. Design Speed2. Pavt./Shoulder Widths
-Retain existing except some min’s are listed or if causing safety/operational problems
3. Pavt/Shoulder Cross Sections– Pavt (1.5-3% accept)– Shoulder (2-8% accept)– Rollover < 8%– Travel lane widths should be constant (vary shoulder
widths if necessary)
27
3R Standards4. Horizontal Curvature & Superelevation
-Compare safe operating speed (MUTCD Fig 231-1) to design speed. Depending on difference follow 3R book to determine what to do.-Superelevation transition: Use roff only as minimum. 50-70% on tangent; 30-50% on curve
5. Vertical Curvature/SSD-Don’t consider sag curves unless problem-Crest curves: consider reconstruction if accident problem or all 3 below
criteria are met:i) Crest curve hides a major hazardii) AADT>1500iii) Safe speed > 20mph below design speed
28
3R Standards6. Horizontal Clearance to FO
-If no accident, choose minimum of what can be reasonably achieved-Evaluate guiderail for replacement
7. Grades-Retain existing unless operational or safety need
8. Bridges-Evaluate for rehab or replacement-Evaluate width using GDPB
