D5 Roads on Peat (Ireland) - outline
Project plan:
Initial visit by HS to make working contact and get an understanding of Irish conditions. Preparation of preliminary report on Irish best practice. Discuss how sharing could happen;
Identify demonstration project locations, preferably one strengthening project and one widening project;
Survey with ROADEX methods (FWD, GPR, GPS, video, scanning, etc) to identify the problem areas and formulate solutions. Surveys and interpretation paid by Partners;
Strengthening & widening of road sections on peat. Settlement is a major issue in strengthening and widening roads over peat - to be addressed in ROADEX for the first time. ROADEX to assist in design.
Carry out works by Contractor. Report by ROADEX.
Links with other Tasks:
Input into eLearning task and road widening research for projects involving peat.

Extra lift = Secondary settelment
Due to settlement expected after the constructions period the hight of fill material should be higher than designed level. This
can be equal to the secondary settelement and even also partly from the consolidations settlement.

•Typical structures outside towns:– - 40mm SMA to Clause 942, 60mm of 20mm dbm– - 3-10cm surface dressing, 10-30cm clause 804 crushed rock,
subbase•Typical structure inside towns is 20mm DBM•Road structure is likely to change along the road from HRA, SD, SMA, DBM, etc
•Water cannot escape from the carriageway due to the verges. If there is water sensitive material under the road this will lead to a loss in bearing capacity
