  1. 3R StandardsResurfacing, Restoration, & Rehabilitation Ch. 7

  2. Objectives • Know what “3R” stands for • Know basics of 3R standards for freeways • Know basics of 3R standards for non-freeways

  3. -Freeway 3R projects (Ch 7) -Non-Freeway 3R projects (download from lectures)

  4. Resurfacing Placement of an additional pavement layer over existing traveled way to provide strength or improve serviceability

  5. Restoration & Rehabilitation Work required to return traveled way to a suitable condition for resurfacing while improving highway safety

  6. 3R-Freeways (Oregon DOT I-5 aerial interchange photos)

  7. Standards same as HDM Ch. 2 for freeways except: Standards of the Day (Table 7-1, pg 7-11) -widths of lanes, shoulders, median -grades -radii -SSD -Max. Super -Median width

  8. Needs/deficiencies should be clearly identified

  9. Pavt Condition & Treatment • Identify types of deterioration • Perform a pavement evaluation • Decide the appropriate corrective action

  10. Freeway 3R • Single course overlay (40 mm) • T&L & single course overlay >40mm • Multiple overlays • No extensive replacement of exist. Pavt. • No new additional travel lanes

  11. Soils Evaluate when widening pavement

  12. Utilities Relocate or remove from clear zone

  13. Lighting Rehab, upgrade or remove non-functional lighting Locate standards outside of clear zone or deflection distance of barrier, or provide breakaway type

  14. Future MPT Review potential improvements that could be made to improve future maintenance or construction on the freeway (check w/ maintenance)

  15. Traffic Data • Mainlaine (AADT, DDHV, % HV) • Ramps (DDHV) • Crossroads (DHV) • Calc LOS for mainline, ramps, and intersections • Design year (ETC+10) • Accident analysis (most recent 3 years)

  16. Non-Conforming Features • LOS • Clear Zone • Intersection Turning Radii • Super Routs and Roffs • Min. Length of vertical curves • Lane drops • Broken back curves • Compound curve ratios • Accel/Decel lane lengths & types • HOV & Transit Accommodations • Weaving Lengths • Design storm for drainage facilities • TCD

  17. Medians • Check clear zone • Emergency crossovers (1:10 or flatter and culverts >300 mm w/ safety grates)

  18. Curbs • Usually remove • If not removed document as a nonconforming feature (historical parkway, drainage, erosion control, structural integrity of bridge) • Consider traversable versus non-mountable or mountable curb

  19. Clear zone • Provide minimum of 9m • Remove FO • Identify hazards (cliffs, bodies of water, etc)

  20. Guide railing • Consider elimination by regrading • Bring up to current standards • Add new to meet current warrants • Remove trees and FO from deflection area

  21. TCD • Update to current MUTCD

  22. Drainage-Roadside Surface Drainage System • Site Inspection • Recalculate flow rate/capacities if not functioning adequately • Roff should not cover more than shoulder and ½ of travel lane to prevent hydroplaning

  23. Drainage- Cross Drainage Structures • Site Inspection • Evaluate inadequate structures • Consider replacement of structures that are approaching their anticipated design life

  24. Drainage- Hazardous Features • Remove • Modify • Shield

  25. 3R: Non-Freeways(http://www.ci.walnut-creek.ca.us/historygifs.html

  26. 3 MAJOR STEPS • Assess current conditions • Accident Data • Site Inspections • Design and Traffic Characteristics • Determine project scope • Incorporate minor improvements if cost effective • Document design process • Existing Conditions • Design Criteria (3R) • Design Exceptions • Recommended Design

  27. 3R Standards • Design Speed • Pavt./Shoulder Widths -Retain existing except some min’s are listed or if causing safety/operational problems • Pavt/Shoulder Cross Sections • Pavt (1.5-3% accept) • Shoulder (2-8% accept) • Rollover < 8% • Travel lane widths should be constant (vary shoulder widths if necessary)

  28. 3R Standards • Horizontal Curvature & Superelevation -Compare safe operating speed (MUTCD Fig 231-1) to design speed. Depending on difference follow 3R book to determine what to do. -Superelevation transition: Use roff only as minimum. 50-70% on tangent; 30-50% on curve 5. Vertical Curvature/SSD -Don’t consider sag curves unless problem -Crest curves: consider reconstruction if accident problem or all 3 below criteria are met: i) Crest curve hides a major hazard ii) AADT>1500 iii) Safe speed > 20mph below design speed

  29. 3R Standards 6. Horizontal Clearance to FO -If no accident, choose minimum of what can be reasonably achieved -Evaluate guiderail for replacement 7. Grades -Retain existing unless operational or safety need 8. Bridges -Evaluate for rehab or replacement -Evaluate width using GDPB
