Evaluation of flexible road pavements in Kenya
(1983)
Experience from some of the recently completed roads shows that road pavements have at times failed prematurely thereby leading to unplanned expenditure in the exercise of rehabilitating them. This paper outlines results ...
Corrugation of Unmetalled Roads Part 2: Wheel-Soil Interaction
(1989)
The paper relates the dynamics study of Part 1 to the creation of corrugations. Experiments on soil movement using photography and tracer particles are reported. The local variation of soil strength and particle size within ...

Most pavement design methods used in tropical countries originated in European temperate climates, and direct application of these design methods have often led to expensive pavement failures, especially under increased ...
Strength Of Flexible Road Pavements In Kenya
(1982)
The paper considers strength parameters for the materials generally used for pavement construction in Kenya. Laboratory tests were carried out to establish deformation modulus of common subgrade soils and to establish the ...
