Unpaved mine haul roads provide the principal means of material transport on surface strip
coal mines. With the expansion of surface mining in South Africa and in particular coal strip
mining, the use of ultra-heavy off-highway trucks, currently capable of hauling payloads in
excess of 160t, has become commonplace. Design and management of these roads was based
primarily on local experience and adopted empirical guidelines. This design method served
its purpose in an era when off-highway trucks were lighter and less financial outlay was
required, both in terms of initial pavement construction costs, ongoing road maintenance
costs and vehicle maintenance costs. As the trend in increasing truck size continues, these
current pavement design and management systems proved inadequate. Not only would the
maintenance costs of existing roads increase, vehicle operating and maintenance costs would
also increase prohibitively.
The primary objective of this research was the development of a portable and practical total
haul road design and management methodology that encompasses both pavement strength, wearing course functionality and road maintenance management components. The structural design concerns the ability of a haul road to carry the imposed loads without the need for excessive maintenance. A revised mechanistically derived structural design is presented together with the associated limiting design criteria and recommended target effective elastic modulus values for the construction materials available. The placement of those materials as pavement layers, such as to optimise their performance both as individual layers and over the entire structure is analysed.
Functional design aspects refer to the ability of the haul road to perform its function, i.e to
provide an economic, safe and vehicle friendly ride. This is dictated to a large degree
through the choice, application and maintenance of wearing course materials. The development and analysis of suitable material selection guidelines for use in haul road functional design was allied to the development of a qualitative defect assessment and ranking methodology in order to assess the utility of established performance related selection guidelines and as a basis for revised functional performance parameter specification. A revised range of parameters was derived based on road-user acceptability criteria. By "analysing the trends evident in the individual defect rankings, the predictive capability of the specification was enhanced by depicting the typical functional defects arising when departures are made from the recommended material property limits.
Maintenance design concerns the optimal frequency of wearing course maintenance
commensurate with minimum vehicle operating and road maintenance costs. A qualitative road roughness evaluation technique was developed as a precursor to the development of a model for roughness progression. Expressions were developed to enable direct comparison to be made between the qualitative roughness defect score and International Roughness Index (IRI). The second element of a maintenance management system was based on models of the variation of vehicle operating and road maintenance costs with a road roughness model.
The combination of these models enabled the optimal maintenance strategy to be sought
based on the minimisation of these costs. Sub-optimal maintenance strategies were seen to
be associated with unwarranted expenditure on total road-user costs.
This thesis makes a contribution to the state of knowledge through the development and
synthesis of structural, functional and maintenance management aspects of haul road design.
The adoption of these revised and improved haul road design methodologies are associated
with potentially significant cost savings and operational improvements.
AFRIKAANS: Ongeplaveide mynvervoerpaaie voorsien die prim�re vervoer metode van materiaal in steenkoolstrookdagmyne. Met die uitbreiding van dagmynbou in Suid-Afrika en in besonder
in die steenkoolstrookmynbou, het die gebruik van swaar vervoertrokke alledaags geword.
Ontwerp en bestuur van hierdie paaie was hoofsaaldik gebaseer op plaaslike ondervinding en
empiriese riglyne. Hierdie ontwerp metode het sy doel gedien in 'n tydperk waarin die
trokke ligter en 'n kleiner finansiele uitleg nodig was, beide in tenne van inisiele plaveisel
konstruksie kostes en voortdurende padonderhoudskostes en voertuig instanthoudingkostes.
Soos wat die tendens van toename in trokgrootte voortduur, sal die huidige plaveisel ontwerp
en bestuursstelsels onvoldoende wees. Nie aIleen sal die ondershoudskostes van bestaande
paaie verhoog nie, maar voertuigbedryf en -instandhoudingkostes sal buitensporig word.
Die prim�re doel van die navorsing was die ontwikkeling van 'n oordraagbare en praktiese
totale vervoerpadontwerp en bestuursmetodiek wat die plaveiselsterkte, slytlaag funksionele
werkverrigting en padonderhoudbestuur komponente insluit. Die strukturele ontwerp behels
die vermoe van 'n vervoerpad om die toegepaste las te kan dra sonder die noodsaaklikheid
van buitensporige onderhoud. 'n Hersiene meganisties strukturele ontwerp word aangebied
tesame met die geassosieerde ontwerpkriterium en aanbevole effektiewe
elastisiteitsmoduluswaardes vir die beskikbare konstruksie materiaa1. Die plasing van daardie
materiale as plaveisellae, om sodanig hulle werkverrigting te optimeer is, as beide individuele lae en oor die hele struktuur, geanaliseer.
verrig, naamlik om 'n ekonomiese, veilige en voertuigvriendelike rit te voorsien. Die
ontwikkeling en analise van geskikte materiaal seleksie is gekoppel aan die ontwikkeling van
'n kwalitatiewe defek waardebepaling en ranglys metodiek om die bruikbaarheid van
vasgestelde prestasie-verwante seleksie riglyne te kan bepaal en as basis vir hersiene
funksionele prestasie parameter spesiftkasies. 'n Hersiene reeks parameters is afgelei,
gebaseer op padverbruiker aanvaarbaarheids kriterium. Deur analise van die tendens in die
individuele defek ranglys, is die voorspelbaarheids vennoe van die spesifIkasies verhoog deur die uitwysing van tipiese funksionele defekte wat voorkom wanneer afgewyk word van aanbevole materiaal parameter beperkings.
Die onderhoud aspek van vervoerpad ontwerp kan nie afsonderlik van die strukturele en
funksionele ontwerp aspekte oorweeg word nie. Onderhoudontwerp behels die optimale
frekwensie van slytlaag onderhoud eweredig aan die minimum. voertuigbedryf en padonderhoudskostes. 'n Kwalitatiewe pad ongelykheid evaluasie tegniek is ontwikkel as 'n
voorloper tot die ontwikkeling van 'n ongelykheid progressie model. Uitdrukkings is ontwikkel om direkte vergelyking tussen ongelykheid defektelling en Internasionale
ongelykbeids indeks (IRI) moontlik te maak. Die tweede element van 'n onderhouds
bestuurstelsel is gebaseer op modele van die variasie van die voertuigbedryf en
instandhoudingkoste en padongelykbeid. Die kombinasie van hierdie modelle stel die
verbruiker in staat om die optimale onderhoudstrategie te soek. 'n Sub-optimale
padonderhouds strategie was geassosieer met buitensporige besteding op totale padverbruikers
Hierdie proefskrif lewer 'n bydrae tot die staat van kennis deur die ontwikkeling en
samevoeging van die strukturele, funksionele en onderhoud bestuurs aspekte van
mynvervoerpadontwerp. Die ingebruikneming van die hersiene en verbeterde vervaerpad
antwerp en bestuur metodiek het die potensiaal am beduidende koste besparings te verwesenlik.
