I am a structural engineer, to be precise, civil is like a hobby, when there is not much structura ...
Sounds like you are a really versatile engineer :).
I normally use the Austroads Pavement Design guide, this is the bibble for the pavement design, even the pavement specialists in our office are using this as the design standards. Most of my knowledge in pavement design are coming from the bibble and also the design experience of the other engineers. However, the Austroads design guide is mainly for the proper pavement for a decent road, not really for the light duty ones like the footpath.
The C&CAA you mentioned should be a good one to look at but just not sure whether it is a compulsory one to follow or just a guideline. In most of the case, the footpath design should following the Council's typical details which is normally 75mm thick with SL62. It is clearly different from the requirements in C&CAA as you mentioned. Based on my experience, the C&CAA design is too conservative in durability (like 50mm cover for the reo, this kind of issue has been confirmed by the material engineer in our office) but with less concern to the cracking control. The joints layout design as part of cracking control, is the hardest bit in pavement design and there are no clear guide line to follow. All my knowledge on that is from everywhere like previous design by other engineers, RTA/Council standard drawings etc.
Sorry, we just 歪楼了。If you like, we can send message to discuss the technical issue. |
