MY FUTURE PROFESSION
Hello!
My name is Kirill Petrov. I am a first year student of Polotsk State
University. I am lucky to study at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. After
graduating from the higher school I`ll become a highway engineer. This
profession is in great demand nowadays.
Highway
engineering involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and
maintenance of roads, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and effective
transportation of people and goods. The beginning of road construction
could be dated to the time of the Romans. However highway engineering became
prominent towards the latter half of the 20th Century after World War 2.
Standards of highway engineering
are continuously being improved. Highway engineers must take into account
future traffic flows, design of highway intersections/interchanges, geometric
alignment, highway pavement materials a, structural design of pavement
thickness, and pavement maintenance.
Highway
planning involves the estimation of current and future traffic volumes on a road network.
Highway engineers strive to predict and analyze all possible civil impacts of highway
systems. Some considerations are the adverse effects on the environment, such
as noise pollution, air pollution, water pollution, and other ecological
impacts.
The
most appropriate location, alignment, and shape of a highway are selected
during the design stage. Highway design involves the consideration of three
major factors (human, vehicular, and roadway) and how these factors interact to
provide a safe highway. Highway and transportation engineers must meet many
safety, service, and performance standards.
Moreover
pavement design is also of great importance. There are generally three types of
pavements. Gravel pavement is the simplest type of pavement and is often
designed for lightly
traveled roads. Flexible pavement is a multilayered structure that includes a
subbase, a base, and an asphaltic wearing course. Rigid pavement consists of a
plain or steel-reinforced portland cement concrete slab
laid on a prepared crushed-stone base course.
Highway
engineers are also responsible for road maintenance. The overall purpose of
highway maintenance is to fix defects and preserve the pavement's structure and
serviceability.
So
the profession of a highway engineer is rather difficult and requires profound
knowledge in specific spheres and sciences such as engineering and structural
mechanics, ecology, road and construction machinery, ground science, geology,
hydraulics, etc. But at the same time this profession is significant and
challenging.
I`ll
do my best to become a highly-qualified specialist in the chosen field.

VII. Read and translate the following
text:
The terms road and highway define those
travelled ways on which wheeled vehicles, carriages, animals, and men on foot
have moved throughout recorded history. In modern usage highway refers to a rural
travelled way as contrasted with the urban "street". The word road is
more generally used today to describe lesser travelled ways in rural areas,
primarily those carrying small amounts of traffic or being of minor importance.
In more recent years the terms freeway, expressway, and motorway and similar
terms in other languages (autobahn, autostrada) have come into use to
describe highways in both urban and rural areas.
The first road builders
probably practiced their art in southwestern Asia in the area bounded by the
Black and Caspian seas, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Persian Gulf. People
migrated east, west, north, and south from this area; presumably in their
earliest travels they recognized the necessity of improving their paths and
trails to facilitate the movement of their draft animals; this made the
beginnings of trade possible. The first artificial roadways may have been
constructed by levelling the high ground, filling the hollows, and transferring
earth from the edges of the pathway to the centre, thus forming side ditches
and providing for drainage. During the Bronze Age, the development of agriculture and trade,
facilitated by the domestication of the horse, marked the beginning of
civilization. Trade required better roads. The first serious road builders
probably were the Mesopotamians, who constructed paved
roadways in which burnt brick and stone were laid in bituminous mortar.
The earliest roads in
Europe were the "Amber Routes" probably used
between 1900 and 300 BC by Etruscan and Greek traders to transport
amber and tin These roads were constructed by laying two or three strings of
logs in the direction of the road on a bed of branches and boughs up to 20
 feet (6 meters) wide and covering them with transverse logs 9 to 12
 feet (2.7-3.6 meters) in length laid side by side. In the best log roads,
every fifth or sixth log was fastened to the underlying subsoil with pegs.
The ancient road system of
China was a substantial and remarkable system. Many of the Chinese
roads were wide, well built, and surfaced with stone; rivers were crossed by
bridges or well-managed ferries; steep mountains were traversed by stone-paved
stairways with broad treads and low steps. Chinese roads differed markedly from
the Roman roads in their crookedness, particularly in hilly areas.
  Evidence from
archaeological and historical sources indicates that by AD 75 several methods
of road construction were known in India. These included the brick pavement,
the stone slab pavement, a kind of concrete as a foundation course or as an actual
road surface, and the principles of grouting with gypsum, lime, or bituminous
mortar.
The early Greeks depended
primarily on sea travel. There is evidence of the building of special roads for
religious purposes and transport about 800 BC, but there is little evidence of
substantial road building for travel and transport prior to the Roman system.
The first scientific road
builders were the Romans. Roman roads were remarkable for preserving a straight line
from point to point regardless of obstacles. They were carried over marshes,
lakes, ravines and mountains, and by their bold conception, they have excited
the admiration of modern engineers. The foundation of the roads was then
covered with a light bedding of sand or mortar on which four main
courses were constructed; (1) a layer of large flat stones 10 to 24
 inches (250-600 millimeters) in thickness; (2) a layer of smaller stones mixed
with lime about 9 inches (225
 millimeters) thick; (3) the nucleus layer, about one foot (300
 millimeters) thick, consisting of small gravel and coarse sand mixed with hot
lime; and (4) on this fresh mortar there was a wearing surface, of flint-like
lava about (150 millimeters) deep. The total thickness thus varied from 0.9 to 1.5
 meters. The width of such road was 10.5
 meters. This massive Roman road section adopted about 300 BC set the standard
of practice for the next 2,000 years.

The Birth of Modern Road Building
The
automobile and a little later the heavy truck introduced totally new
requirements for road and highway construction. Vehicle speeds increased
rapidly; roadway alignment suitable for horse and buggy travel was completely
inadequate, as were road surfaces, whose stones were torn loose by the heavily
loaded tires. The development of the pneumatic tire substantially reduced the
destructive effect of truck loading on thin pavements intended for horse and
buggy, but it was obvious that much stronger surfacing was required.
There
was substantial amount of long distance travel both for business and pleasure,
and the tonnage of intercity freight carried by trucks was increasing steadily,
bringing a powerful demand for direct, long-distance express routes, including
suitable links and bypasses in the metropolitan areas. In the late 1960s and
early '70s increasing attention was being turned to the problem of safety in
design of highways and their auxiliary equipment.
Highway
planners and designers have had to take into account the speed and operating
characteristics of the motor vehicles, wheel or axle loads, and the density and
composition of vehicles in the traffic stream, as well as the safety, comfort,
and convenience of the travelling public.
Depending
upon the volume of traffic, composition of traffic, and major purpose, roads
and highways may be divided into four functional classifications:
 1)
local roads and city streets;
 2)
collector and feeder roads, and secondary rural highways;
 3)
primary highways that carry relatively high volumes of traffic between
population centres;
 (4)
expressways that serve major traffic flows.
Design
standards are usually established for each functional classification, taking into
account the type of terrain in which the road or highway will be built (or
rebuilt) classified as flat, rolling, or mountainous. Design standards are
usually established on the basis of average daily traffic volumes, and it is
common practice to set both a minimum standard and a desirable standard. Design
standards commonly provide for:
-
the speeds for which the roadway is to be
designed;
-
maximum permissible sharpness of
horizontal curves;
-
maximum
permissible vertical gradient;
-
minimum width of roadway and surfacing
(pavement);
-
minimum sight distance (the distance a
driver can see above the roadway);
-
the capacity of bridges.
With the growth of traffic density a demand
for greater amenities has come. It is necessary to provide the national road system with hotels and restaurants, service stations and
repair shops, where drivers and passengers may rest and vehicles be serviced and repaired. Attention
should be given to
such questions as fitting roads into the landscape in plan, and in profile, planting trees, so as
to improve their aesthetic value.
VIII. Answer
the following questions:

1.
What introduced new requirements for road
building?
2.
Did the pneumatic tire reduce or increase
the destructive effect on road pavements?
3.
People began to travel more, didn`t they?
4.
When was increasing attention being turned
to road safety?
5.
What major things should highway planners
and designers take into account?
6.
How can all the roads be classified?
7.
Is the type of terrain important for road
designers?
8.
Which two kinds of standard are there in
road building?
9.
What amenities are needed in the present
day road system?

IX. Say whether it is true or false:

1.
Roads intended for horse and buggy were
quite adequate for automobiles.
2.
Substantial increase in travel brought a
powerful demand for different well-build types of roads.
3.
Little attention to the problem of road
safety was paid in the 1960-1970s.
4.
Wheel and axle loads are of no importance
for highway planners.
5.
There are four functional classifications
of roads.
6.
Types of terrain are classified as rural
and urban.
7.
Minimum and desirable standards are
usually set by road designers.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Road
construction requires the creation of a continuous right-of-way. Removal of
earth and rock by digging or blasting, construction of embankments, bridges and
tunnels, and removal of vegetation (this may involve deforestation) are often
needed. A variety of road building equipment is employed in road building.
Once
these activities are completed, construction of the pavement can begin.
Firstly
the longitudinal and vertical alignment of the road is set out by a surveyor.
The alignment of the road will be marked with control pegs. The pegs will have
level markings as a control mechanism to ensure the road is constructed
according to design levels.
Construction
of the road commences with the stripping of the topsoil. The topsoil is usually
stockpiled nearby for the construction of embankments along the road. The
in-situ ground will be removed, using a heavy motorised grader to a level
specified by the civil engineer. This is considered as the roadbed level. It
will be compacted using a heavy vibratory road roller. Once the roadbed has
been compacted to the required density (as will be specified by the engineer),
the pavement layers can now be imported.
The
first layer to be imported is the selected subgrade. This is usually a gravel
type material. Once placed the material is leveled off by a grader. It will be
compacted to a required density, using a road roller.
The
next layer to be imported is the sub-base. The subbase material is of a higher
quality than the selected sub-grade. It is usually a gravel type material with
a high bearing ratio.
While
the material is worked by a grader, it is mixed with water to aid compaction.
Once the subbase layer has been compacted to its required density, the
importation of the final layer can commence.
The
final layer of a road is the base course consisting of gravel or crushed stone.
The base course will be leveled off and compacted. Sometimes (usually for roads
that will experience heavy loads) portland cement will be added to it, to
ensure adequate strength of this layer. On top of the base course is placed a
surface course which typically consists of asphalt concrete or a seal
consisting of a mixture similar sized small stones, bitumen and portland
cement. This surface course strengthens the pavement structure and provides a
smooth and high-friction surface for vehicles to drive on.
Modern
roads, and indeed many ancient ones, such as those built by the Romans, feature
camber. This is designed to allow water to drain away from the road to its
edges. On the side of the road there may be retroreflectors on pegs, rocks or
crash barriers, white toward the direction of the traffic on that side of the
road, and red toward the other direction. In the road surface there may be
cat's eyes: retroreflectors that protrude slightly, but which can be driven
over without damage.
Road
signs are often also made retroreflective. For greater visibility of road signs
at daytime, sometimes fluorescence is applied to get very bright colors.
Finally,
when the highway is put into service, its maintenance and the provision for
uninterrupted traffic become of the utmost importance of the national economy.
The engineer in charge of the highway operation must ensure the maintenance of
the road quality under all traffic and weather conditions.
With
the growth of traffic density a demand for greater amenities has come. It is
necessary to provide the national road system with hotels and restaurants,
filling stations and repair shops, where drivers and passengers may rest and
vehicles be serviced and repaired. Attention should be given to such questions
as fitting roads into the landscape in plan and in profile, planting trees, so
as to improve their aesthetic value.
IX. Answer the following
questions:
1.
What does road construction require?
2.
Who sets out the longitudinal and vertical
alignment of the road?
3.
What road building equipment is used
during road construction?

5.
What is the purpose of mixing the materials
of the sub-base with water?
6.
What does the final layer consist of?
7.
Asphalt concrete or a seal is used in a
surface course, isn’t it?
8.
Can you name the important factors in road
construction?
9.

lead to?
10.
What is camber designed for?
11.

of the road? What is their purpose?
12.

PAVING MATERIALS
Roads
at the turn of the 20th century were largely inadequate for the demands about
to be placed on them by the automobile and bicycle. As vehicle speeds increased
rapidly, the available friction between road and tyre became critical for
accelerating, braking and cornering. In addition, numerous pavement failures
made it obvious that much stronger and tougher materials were required. The
result was an ongoing search for a better pavement. Asphalt and concrete both
offered promise.
Asphalt
is a mixture of bitumen and stone, and concrete is a mixture of cement and
stone. The first road use of asphalt occurred in 1824 when asphalt blocks were
placed on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. The first successful concrete pavement
was built in Inverness, Scotland, in 1865. Both asphalt and concrete required
the availability of powerful stone-crushing, mixing and spreading equipment.
The
impetus for the development of modern road asphalt came from the United States
which had few deposits of natural bitumen to draw upon and where engineers were
therefore forced to study the behaviour of this material. The first steps came
in the 1860s with the work of Belgian immigrant Edward de Smedt at Columbia
University in New York. De Smedt conducted his first tests in New Jersey in
1870 and by 1872 was producing the equivalent of modern road asphalt. The first
applications were in Battery Park and on Fifth Avenue in New York Cityin 1872.
In
1887 de Smedt was followed as inspector of asphalts and cements by Clifford
Richardson. Richardson basically developed two forms of asphalt: asphaltic
concrete, which was strong and stiff and thus provided structural strength; and
hot-rolled asphalt, which contained more bitumen and thus produced a far
smoother and better surface for the car and bicycle.
Richardson
published a standard textbook on asphalt paving in 1905, and the practice did
not change greatly thereafter. The biggest change was in the machinery
available to produce, place and finish the material rather than in the product
itself. Toward the end of the century, there were major movements towards the
use of recycled asphalt, chemical modifiers for improving bitumen properties
and small fibres for improving crack resistance.
The
first modem concrete roads were produced byJoseph Mitchell who conducted three
successful trails in England and Scotland in 1865-66. Like asphalt technology,
concrete road building was largely developed by the turn of the 20th century
and was restricted more by the available machinery then by the material. For
the following century the two materials remained in intense competition, both
offering a similar product at a similar cost, and there was little evidence
that one would far ahead of the other as they continued on their paths of
gradual improvement.

tasks that follow:
Asphalt is an Ancient Construction
Material
Asphalt, the world’s most
versatile construction material today, is by no means new. It was used in many
ways in ancient Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt. The asphalt used by the ancients
was a native material obtained from many of the oil pools where crude oil rose
to the surface and the lighter fractions were evaporated by nature. The
remaining heavy residue usually contained various amounts of water, soil and
other impurities; but by slow and crude methods of distillation, fuel for lamps
and bituminous products for mastics, waterproofing and paving were obtained.
The most extensive
sources of native asphalt 4,000 to 5,000 years ago were located in Iraq.
Several large deposits are known to have existed along the banks of the
Euphrates River.
The Egyptians obtained
native asphalts for waterproofing and building from the Dead Sea and from a
source near the River Jordan in Lebanon.
Asphaltic construction
materials are a component of crude oil taken from the hundreds of thousands of
oil wells throughout the world today. The amount of asphalt that a crude oil
may contain is quite variable, depending upon the gravity of the crude. The
lower the gravity of the crude oil the higher is the asphalt content.
The crude oil is
transported by pipelines, tank cars or barges to the refineries where it is
separated into its various components by a continuous-flow refining process.
In the refining of
asphalt, two different processes are used: steam and vacuum distillation method
and solvent extraction method. Another refining method used to obtain a higher
percentage of motor fuel is the “cracking” process, which by intense heat and
high pressures brings about a chemical change producing a bituminous type of
material not widely used for paving.
The basic principles of
soil-asphalt stabilization, as applied to highway and airfield construction,
are methods of designing and mixing local soil or aggregate with asphaltic
material to form a stable and waterproof base course. Properly constructed
soil-asphalt base courses resist deformation through the cementing action of
the asphalt which binds the soil particles together. The thin coating of
asphalt around the soil particles also provides a high degree of waterproofing
which is further aid to resistance to deformation.

ROAD
PAVEMENTS

Modern
highways are complex engineering structures. They are intended for high-speed
motor traffic. The road pavement must continuously provide good riding qualities
and withstand the dynamic loads influenced by passage of vehicles. Roads are
built in the most varied natural conditions – in broad plains and hills, sandy
deserts and in mountains. In all these diverse and complex conditions the road
engineer has to be able to find correct engineering and economic solutions.
Because of this, when solving construction problems related to road he has to
make use of many sciences such as geology, climatology, hydraulics, hydrology,
etc. He must be able to design highways so as to ensure comfort and safety of
transportation which in turn mostly depend on the road pavement.
Road
surface or pavement is the durable surface
material laid down on an area intended to sustain vehicular or foot traffic.
In the past, gravel
road surfaces, cobblestone
and granite
setts were widely used, but these surfaces have
mostly been replaced by asphalt
or concrete.

Pavements are called either flexible or rigid, according
to their relative flexural stiffness.
Flexible pavements have base courses of
broken stone pieces either compacted into place (macadam pavement) or glued
together with bitumen to form asphalt. In order to maintain workability, the
stones are usually less than 1.5 inches in size and often less than 1 inch.
Initially the bitumen must be heated to temperatures of 300°-400° F (150°-200°
C) in order to make it fluid enough to mix with the stone. At the road site a
paving machine places the hot mix in layers about twice the thickness of the
stone size. The layers are then thoroughly rolled before the mix cools and
solidifies.
The
surface layer of a flexible pavement protects the underlying base course from
traffic and water while also providing tyre friction, generating minimal noise
in urban areas, and giving suitable light reflectance for night-time driving.
Such surfaces are provided either by a bituminous film coated with stone or by
a thin asphalt layer. Bituminous surfacing with stone is relatively cheap,
effective and impermeable and lasts for about 10 years. Asphalt surfacing is
used with higher traffic volumes or in urban areas.
Rigid
pavements are made of portland cement concrete. The concrete slab ranges in
thickness from 6 to 14 inches. It is laid by a paving machine, often on a
supporting layer that prevents pumping water and natural formation material to
the surface through joints and cracks. Concrete shrinks as it hardens, and this
shrinkage is resisted by friction from underlying layer, causing cracks to
appear in concrete. Cracking is usually controlled by adding steel
reinforcement in order to enhance the tensile strength of the pavement.
Transverse joints are sometimes also used for this purpose. Longitudinal joints
are used when the whole carriageway cannot be cast in one pass of the paving
machine.
In deciding whether to use a flexible or rigid pavement, engineers take
into account service life period, riding characteristics, ease and cost of
repair, and the effect of climatic conditions. Often there is little to choose
between rigid and flexible pavements.

HIGHWAY NETWORK PLANNING
In planning a highway network or a route, highway
planners must learn: where people live, where they want to go, how they get
there, where goods are produced, what markets the goods are sent to, how the
goods reach their final users.
Traffic
counts tell how many and what kinds of vehicles travel on a road, and when
traffic is the heaviest. From these and other facts about the past and present,
planners try to predict future growth in population and industry, changes in
land use, and how such growth and change will affect highway needs.
Public
participation in road planning is essential. In the U.S. highway planners hold
public hearings on most major highway projects. These meetings enable citizens
to present their views before a project begins.
Before
highway construction begins, planners must also prepare an environmental impact
statement. The purpose of such a statement is to discover in advance all the
possible good and bad effects that a new highway may have on the public and on
the environment.
Highway
engineers draw up standards for various kinds of roads, highways, and bridges.
These standards govern the thickness and kind of foundation and surfacing for
different kinds of traffic; the number of lanes needed; the sharpness of
curves; and the steepness of hills.
In planning a new road or rebuilding an existing one,
maps must be drawn if they are not already available. Aerial photography is
widely used today for this work. These maps show the location of other roads,
railroads, towns, farms, houses, and other buildings. They also show such
natural features as rivers, lakes, forests, hills and the slope of the land.
The types of soil may also be identified.
Using
these maps, engineers locate new highways and make detailed drawings called
plans. The plans show the exact boundaries of the right- of-way. This is land
needed for road pavement, shoulders, ditches, and side slopes. The plans also
show the exact location, grades, and curves of the pavement, and the location
of bridges and culverts.
So
highway planners study everything from the long-range needs of a country to a
particular section of a single route. This planning determines what the highway
needs of the region are and how these needs can best be fulfilled and paid for.
VIII. Decide
whether these statements are true or false:
1.
There is no need for highway planners to
know where people live, where they want to go, where goods are produced and
sent to.
2.
In planning a new highway planners try to
predict future growth in population and industry.
3.
In the USA before the project begins
people meet and discuss their ideas about future highways.
4.
Maps showing the location of other roads,
towns, houses and other buildings are usually drawn in planning a new road or
rebuilding an existing one.
5.
There are no special standards for various
kinds of roads, highways, and bridges, which govern the thickness, kind of
foundation, surfacing, the number of lanes and other peculiarities.
6.
A plan is a drawing that shows exact
boundaries of the right-of- way and also the exact location, grades, and curves
of the pavement, and the location of bridges and culverts.
7.
The aim of planning is to find the best
way of highway needs fulfillment.

IX. Put 10 questions of all types to the
text.
X. Translate the following sentences into
English:
1.

ROAD SURFACE MARKING,
TRAFFIC SIGNS AND SIGNALS
Road
surface marking is any kind of device or material that is used on a road
surface in order to convey official information. They can also be applied in
other facilities used by vehicles to mark parking spaces or designate areas for
other uses.
Road
surface markings are used on paved roadways to provide guidance and information
to drivers and pedestrians. Uniformity of the markings is an important factor
in minimizing confusion and uncertainty about their meaning, and efforts exist
to standardize such markings across borders. However, countries and areas
categorize and specify road surface markings in different ways.
Road
surface markings are either mechanical, non-mechanical, or temporary. They can
be used to delineate traffic lanes, inform motorists and pedestrians or serve
as noise generators when run across a road, or attempt to wake a sleeping
driver when installed in the shoulders of a road. Road surface marking can also
indicate regulation for parking and stopping.
There
is continuous effort to improve the road marking system, and technological
breakthroughs include adding reflectivity, increasing longevity, and lowering
installation cost.
Traffic
signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of roads to provide
information to road users. With traffic volumes increasing over the last eight
decades, many countries have adopted pictorial signs or otherwise simplified
and standardized their signs to facilitate international travel where language
differences would create barriers, and in general to help enhance traffic
safety. Such pictorial signs use symbols (often silhouettes) in place of words
and are usually based on international protocols. Such signs were first
developed in Europe, and have been adopted by most countries to varying
degrees.
Traffic
signs can be grouped into several types. For example:
A.
Danger warning
signs
B.
Priority
signs
C.
Prohibitory or restrictive
signs
D.
Mandatory
signs
E.
Special regulation signs
F.
Information,
facilities, or service signs
G.
Direction, position, or indication signs
H.
Additional panels
The
earliest road signs were milestones, giving distance or direction; for example,
the Romans erected stone columns throughout their empire giving the distance to
Rome. In the Middle Ages multidirectional signs at intersections became common,
giving directions to cities and towns.
The
development of automobiles encouraged more complex signage systems using more
than just text based notices. One of the first modern-day road sign systems was
devised by the Italian Touring Club in 1895.
Over
the years, change was gradual. Pre-industrial signs were stone or wood, but
painted cast iron became favoured in the late eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. Cast iron continued to be used until the mid twentieth century, but it
was gradually displaced by aluminium or other materials. Before the development
of reflective plastics, reflectivity was provided by glass reflectors set into
the lettering and symbols.
New
generations of traffic signs based on electronic displays can also change their
text (or, in some countries, symbols) to provide for "intelligent
control" linked to automated traffic sensors or remote manual input.
Traffic
lights, also known as traffic signals, traffic lamps, signal lights and
semaphores are signalling devices positioned at or near road intersections, pedestrian crossings
and other locations to control competing flows of traffic. Traffic lights were
first installed in 1868 in London,
United
Kingdom and now used in almost every city of the
world. Traffic lights alternate the right of way accorded to road
users by displaying lights of a standard color (red, yellow/amber, and green)
following a universal color
code (and a precise sequence to enable
comprehension by those who are color blind).
In
the typical sequence of color phases:
·
Illumination of the green light allows
traffic to proceed in the direction denoted, if it is safe to do so;
·
Illumination of the orange/amber light denoting
prepare to stop short of the intersection, if it is safe to do so;
·
Illumination of the red signal prohibits
any traffic from proceeding.
So
the role of traffic marking, signs and signals can hardly be overestimated, if
they were absent on our roads and highways there would be a complete chaos and
far more traffic accidents.

ROAD MAINTENANCE
The
life of a road structure depends on the quality of its maintenance and minor
renovation. Maintenance keeps the roadway safe, provides good driving
conditions, and prolongs the life of the pavement, thus reducing the road
investment. Maintenance consists of activities concerned with the condition of
the pavement, shoulders, drainage, traffic facilities, and right-of-way. It
includes the prompt sealing of cracks and filling of potholes to prevent water
entering through the surface, the removal of trash thrown on the wayside by the
traveling public, and the care of pavement markings, signs, and signals. In
rigorous winter climates, substantial effort is required to remove snow and ice
from the pavement, to scatter salt for snow and ice removal, and to spread sand
for better traction.
In many countries an increasing share of road budgets is
being allocated to rehabilitation and maintenance of existing roads, rather
than new road construction.
Routine
maintenance refers to activities such as
grading, grass cutting, drain clearing, pothole patching, and shoulder repairs,
which are performed at least yearly if not more frequently. Periodic
maintenance activities are typically scheduled over periods of several years
and include resurfacing and bridge repairs. Rehabilitation involves more
substantial intervention to strengthen a road, repair structural defects, and
restore the road to its initial condition, often after it has deteriorated to
an "unmaintainable" standard. Rehabilitation sometimes also includes
changes or improvements to previous characteristics, for instance, by widening,
making small alignment changes, or providing footpaths.
Other
maintenance activities include seasonal maintenance, such as snow
clearing and flood repairs, emergency maintenance to restore roads after
major failures, and the regular maintenance of road signs.
Repairing
damage and resurfacing. Gravel and other similar
type roads have to be smoothed quite often. Surfaces and edges of bituminous
materials are repaired by patching with new material where worn spots develop
from travel or because of weak spots in the ground underneath. Every 10 or 15
years many roads with bituminous surfaces are resurfaced completely.
Workers
repair concrete pavements by digging out broken sections and putting in new
concrete. They often repair cracks by filling them with asphalt. Many older
concrete pavements must be resurfaced completely.
Deteriorated
pavements can be reconstructed in several ways: the surface can be treated to
improve its characteristics; the existing course can be overlaid; the damaged
layers can be removed and replaced; the existing wearing course can be remixed
with additional materials.
Clearing ice and snow. Most roads and highways must serve the year around. So
they must be kept free from snow and ice in winter. In some places, snow fences
are; put up. These are thin pickets wired together and placed parallel to the
road, on the side from which the storm winds usually blow, and about 50 to 100
feet (15 to 30 meters) from the road. Snowdrifts then do not pile up on the
road.
V-shaped
or straight-blade dozers clear the roads when it snows. In deep drifts, special
snowplows are needed.
Often
roads and highways that are slippery from ice and snow must have salt, chemicals,
sand, or cinder spread on them to keep them passable.

The Bridge. Its classifications.
A
bridge
is a structure surmounting an obstacle such as a river, declivity, road, or
railway and used as a passageway for pedestrian, motor, or rail traffic.
The
first bridges were natural for example rock bridges. The first man-made bridges
were flat stones or tree trunks, laid across to make a girder bridge, and
festoons of creepers hung in suspension.
Three
types of bridge – beam or girder, arch, and suspension – have been known and
built from the earliest times. Through the ages, materials of construction have
evolved from those ready to hand, such as timber and stone, to manufactured
materials, such as brick, dimension stone concrete, reinforced and precast
concrete, iron, and steel.The type of bridge to be preferred at any site
depends on the nature of the ground, the length of the span required, the kind
of traffic anticipated, and the materials of construction available.
In
the 17th and 18th centuries, bridge building became a science. Early in this
period, scientists, including Galileo, had investigated the theory of beams and
framed structures. The period since World War II has been the greatest
bridge-building era in the history of the world. This is due partly to postwar
reconstruction and urban development but even more to the unprecedented advance
of motorways.
The
beam (girder) bridge
The
beam bridge is basically a rigid horizontal structure that rests on two piers
(or supports), one at each end. The weight of the beam pushes straight down on
the piers. The further apart the piers, the weaker the beam becomes. Next time
you’re on a journey, look out for these bridges crossing motorways. They’re
usually made of concrete or steel. Beam bridges rarely span more than 60m.
The
arch bridge
It
is the shape of the structure that gives the arch bridge its strength; they’re
a natural form of bridge. That’s why they’re so beautiful. An arch bridge
doesn’t need any additional supports or cables. In fact, an arch bridge made of
stone doesn’t even need mortar. Imagine that! There are still many arch bridges
built by the Romans 2,000 years ago, without mortar, which are still standing
today, real proof of the natural effectiveness of an arch as a bridge
structure. Modern arch bridges can span up to 300m.
The
suspension bridge
But
surely the most elegant and sophisticated of all bridges is the suspension
bridge. Modern suspension bridges usually have two tall towers (the supports)
joined by cables (or ropes or chains). The bridges hang from these cables. This
means it is the towers that are supporting the majority of the bridge’s weight.
These bridges can have the longest spans – up to 2,000m.
The
cantilever bridge
A
cantilever bridge is a bridge
built using cantilevers,
structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end. For
small footbridges,
the cantilevers may be simple beams;
however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses
built from structural
steel, or box girders
built from prestressed concrete.
The steel truss cantilever bridge was a major engineering breakthrough when
first put into practice, as it can span distances of over 1,500 feet
(460 m).
The
cable-stayed bridge
A
cable-stayed bridge
has one or more towers (or pylons), from which cables
support the bridge deck. There are two major classes of cable-stayed bridges:
harp and fan. In the harp design, the cables are nearly parallel so that the
height of their attachment to the tower is proportional to the distance from
the tower to their mounting on the deck. In the fan design, the cables all
connect to or pass over the top of the towers. The cable-stayed bridge is
optimal for spans longer than cantilever bridges,
and shorter than suspension
bridges.
The
pontoon bridge
A
pontoon bridge or floating bridge or bridge of boats is a bridge
that floats on water and in which barge- or boat-like pontoons
support the bridge deck and its dynamic loads. While pontoon bridges are
usually temporary structures, some are used for long periods of time. Pontoon
bridges are especially useful in wartime
as river
crossings.
Which
bridge when?
Choosing
the design of a bridge primarily depends on how wide the obstacle is – is it a
small road or an enormous river? The main difference between the three main
types of bridges is the distances they can cross in a single span. This means
the distance between one vertical support to another. Some bridges can cross an
obstacle in a single span, while others need many. If an enormous river is to
be crossed, a bridge is needed that doesn’t need too many supports. Another
consideration of course is the types of material available to be used as well
as the overall look of the bridge.
A
bridge can also be categorized by what it is designed to carry, such as trains,
pedestrian or road traffic, a pipeline or waterway for water transport or barge
traffic. A road-rail bridge carries both road and rail traffic. A bridge can
carry overhead power lines.
Some
bridges accommodate other purposes, such as the tower of Nový Most
Bridge in Bratislava,
which features a restaurant, or a bridge-restaurant
which is a bridge built to serve as a restaurant. Other suspension bridge
towers carry transmission antennas.
Bridges
are subject to unplanned uses as well. The areas underneath some bridges have
become makeshift shelters and homes to homeless people, and the undersides of
bridges all around the world are spots of graffiti. Some bridges attract people
attempting suicide,
and become known as suicide
bridges.
The
materials used to build the structure are also used to categorize bridges.
Until the end of the 18th Century, bridges were made out of timber, stone and
masonry. Modern bridges are currently built in concrete, steel, fiber
reinforced polymers (FRP), stainless steel or combinations of those materials.
Bridge
maintenance consists of structural health monitoring and testing. It includes
an ongoing monitoring every three to six months, a simple test or inspection
every two to three years and a major inspection every six to ten years. In
Europe, the cost of maintenance is higher than spending on new bridges.
During
the last few years, much more attention has been paid to reducing accidents on
bridges and, indeed, on all engineering structures. Most failures occur during
erection, and safety can be considered under three heads: the safety of the
structure during erection or demolition, the safety of construction plant, and
the safety of personnel.
In
order to combat risk of brittle fracture, high-tensile steel has now been
greatly improved in strength at low temperatures. Accidents caused by failure
of plant are too varied to detail here. They can be largely avoided by ensuring
that all plant and equipment is kept in good repair and used only within its
capacity.
The
causes of accidents to personnel are also diverse. The first necessity is to
provide safe means of access and safe place of work, by means of ladders,
gangways, and working platforms with guardrails and cradles, as necessary.
Accidents to men working aloft can be prevented by means of safety harness and
safety nets; safety helmets should be worn by all men on site.

ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT OF ROADS
The environmental impact of roads (both positive and
negative) include the local effects of highways such as on noise, water pollution, habitat destruction/disturbance and local air quality; and the wider effects which may include climate change from vehicle emissions. The design, construction and
management of roads, parking and
other related facilities can change the impacts to varying degrees.
Roads
can have both negative and positive effects on air quality. Air pollution
from motor vehicle emissions
can occur wherever vehicles are used. Emissions include exhausts from  engines,
volatile organic compounds,
carbon
monoxide and various other hazardous air
pollutants. Concentrations of air pollutants and adverse respiratory
health effects are greater near the road than at some distance away from the
road. Road dust
kicked up by vehicles may trigger allergic
reactions. Carbon dioxide
is non-toxic to humans but is a major greenhouse gas
and motor vehicle emissions are an important contributor to the growth of CO2
concentrations in the atmosphere and therefore to global warming.
On
the other hand the construction of new roads which divert traffic from built-up
areas can deliver improved air quality to the areas relieved of a significant
amount of traffic.
Motor
vehicle traffic on roads cannot but generate noise.
Road noise can be a nuisance if it impinges on population centres, especially
for roads at higher operating speeds, near intersections and on uphill
sections. Noise health effects
can be expected in such locations from road systems used by large numbers of
motor vehicles. Speed
bumps, which are usually deployed in built-up
areas, can increase noise pollution.
Especially if large vehicles use the road and particularly at night.
But
at the same time new roads can divert traffic away from population centres thus
relieving the noise
pollution.
Urban runoff
from roads and other impervious
surfaces is a major source of water pollution.
Rainwater
and snowmelt
running off of roads tends to pick up gasoline,
motor oil,
heavy metals,
trash
and other pollutants. Road runoff is a major source of nickel,
copper,
zinc,
cadmium,
lead
and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs), which are created as combustion
byproducts of gasoline and other fossil fuels.

De-icing
chemicals and sand can run off into roadsides, contaminate groundwater
and pollute surface
waters. Road salts
can be toxic
to sensitive plants and animals.
Sand can alter stream
bed environments, causing stress for the
plants and animals that live there.
Roads
can act as barriers or filters to animal movement and lead to habitat fragmentation.
Many species will not cross the open space created by a road due to the threat
of predation
and roads also cause increased animal mortality from traffic. Habitat
fragmentation may also divide large continuous populations into smaller more
isolated populations. These smaller populations are more vulnerable to genetic drift,
inbreeding depression
and an increased risk of population decline and extinction.

VIII. Answer the
following questions:
1)
What does the environmental impact of
roads involve?
2)
What are the consequences of air
pollution?
3)
How can noise pollution be reduced?
4)
Do highways affect plants and animals?
5)
What substances can be found in road
runoff?
6)
What is habitat fragmentation?

4. I know him to have been working at this project for a long time. 5. We
supposed them to finish the earthworks.
B.
1. These methods enable full investigation of local materials to be carried
out. 2. Modern mechanized methods employed for earthworks permit a stable
roadbed to be built. 3. This plan enables the reconstruction of this bridge to
be completed in time. 4. This width of lanes and shoulders allows the
carriageway width to be determined.
C.
1. Heat causes most materials extend. 2. The rain made us return home. 3. They could
make him change his decision. 4. Air pollution causes scientists find different
ways from its harmful effect. 5. Nothing could make him alter the direction.
