Theoretical and Experimental Assessment of Gravel Loss on Unsealed Roads in Australia
Gravel loss is one of the major issues on unsealed roads which attract large annual maintenance. The continual process of gravel loss makes roads environmentally unsustainable. The unsealed road management faces several challenges which are: inaccuracies in behavior prediction, numerous data gathering requirements and exposure in the level of service and maintenance practices. To address these issues, the modified gravel is used on the unsealed road network in Australia. A case study is conducted to assess the gravel loss of unsealed roads. To monitor gravel loss on good quality, gravel monitoring stations are installed. Geographical information system (GIS) is used for finalizing the gravel monitoring station locations. Roughometer is used for surface assessment longitudinally. Roughness will be measured over two years at an interval of every three months. This paper discusses the gravel loss monitoring approaches, data analyses and improved material specification for gravel.
