Pavements for Container Terminals
The pavement of container terminals requires high investment costs. In case its design is not appropriate to subsoil conditions and load impacts, any necessary reconstruction is time-consuming and costly. The latter also implies to an overdesign of the pavement. After a compilation of terminal equipment loads, the chapter gives an overview of practical proven pavement solutions for different operational areas on container terminals. Both advantages and disadvantages of different available pavement types are summarized and suitable wearing courses for the different operational areas are proposed.
