THE RELEVANCE OF ROAD TO LIFE AND ITS ACTIVITIES. A RESEARCH PROJECT MATERIAL ON CIVIL ENGINEERING
ABSTRACT
This project involves the route survey which includes: reconnaissance survey, theodolite traversing and leveling operations as well as soil tests which includes; plastic limit test, liquid limit tests and moisture content determination, compaction tests and California bearing ratio tests.
This project also involves the design of the pavement and the geometric design of the roadway.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The relevance of road to life and its activities cannot be over emphasized.
Road is as old as the origin of man and plays a vital role in the life of the people in communities, states, countries. It is quite obvious that life would have been very difficult without the existence of roads. Nigeria for instance acknowledged the importance of road such that the local, state and federal government are all involved in the development and maintenance of road network.
History has shown that provision of roadway is a necessary tool for civilization. It advances prosperity increase and this bring about demand for better and faster communication facilities especially roads.
The continuing increase in Nigeria’s population has made the daily movement of passengers and goods an increasing complex problem.
1.2 RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY
This is a quick type of survey or a rapid examination of the ground and its adjacent natural features usually made without survey instruments to limit the alternative routes in terms of cost to one or two.
The following factors are normally considered in reconnaissance survey.
v Overall cartage of goods
v Nearness to road materials quarries
v Traffic conditions
v Soil conditions
v Right of way or road land
v Ruling gradient
v Number of major and minor bridges
v Approximate length and cost
v Curvative along the alignment
The road under consideration (A by pass from IMT/ Federal Secretariat road to Industrial center and Mass Communication Department) has been graded and motor drivers and pedestrians use it. On the sides of the proposed road are existing buildings and farm lands.
