5 Overview of comments Generally acceptable procedure Generally acceptable procedure TRH12 more a textbook than a guideline document TRH12 more a textbook than a guideline document Clear guidelines and procedures required Clear guidelines and procedures required Accuracy / correctness of criteria related to deflection measurements (different devices) Accuracy / correctness of criteria related to deflection measurements (different devices) Relevance of AI, TRRL and Shell overlay design Relevance of AI, TRRL and Shell overlay design Changes in traffic loading predictions Changes in traffic loading predictions

6 Overview of comments Design reliability concept and how to cater for variability Design reliability concept and how to cater for variability Improve readability and provide examples Improve readability and provide examples

7 Objectives Define process more clearly Define process more clearly Provide more definitive guidelines with explanatory appendices Provide more definitive guidelines with explanatory appendices Repackage to make clearer – include relevant available information Repackage to make clearer – include relevant available information Improve on some definitions Improve on some definitions Add examples Add examples Tendering for consultant services

8 Revision process Three step approach Three step approach 1.Based on comments received prepare first draft – Review first draft 2.Based on review prepare second draft – Review second draft 3.Prepare third draft – Final review and finalization

9 Project phases Initial Assessment Detailed Assessment Preliminary Design Detail Design Procurement Documents Present Detailed Assessment Investigation and Analysis = Evaluation Rehabilitation Design IARDARPDRDRIR Fact finding / diagnosisDecision makingFinalisation TD Initial assessment Detail design 1997 2006 TRH12

10 Most significant changes to date Do away with “remaining life” / “end of life concepts” - replacement not clear as yet but will be related to the functionality of the pavement Do away with “remaining life” / “end of life concepts” - replacement not clear as yet but will be related to the functionality of the pavement Relook at the design reliability concepts – needs revision but not sure what the answer is as yet Relook at the design reliability concepts – needs revision but not sure what the answer is as yet

11 Most significant changes to date Provide definitions for short, medium and long term Provide definitions for short, medium and long term Do away with deflection criteria as in Appendix 1 of 1997 version - misuse Do away with deflection criteria as in Appendix 1 of 1997 version - misuse –Rather focus on relative differences –Include well know “Cusum” plots

12 Most significant changes to date Provide guidelines for the provision of a detailed test plan Provide guidelines for the provision of a detailed test plan –What information is needed ? –How is it to be obtained – take account of variability –How is it to be used ? Provide guidelines to collate information to be exported to other design methods – most notably SAMDM Provide guidelines to collate information to be exported to other design methods – most notably SAMDM

13 Most significant changes to date Inclusion of concrete (rigid pavement) solutions where appropriate Inclusion of concrete (rigid pavement) solutions where appropriate Possibility of reviving SABITA’S REACT software to be used in economic appraisal of various remedial options Possibility of reviving SABITA’S REACT software to be used in economic appraisal of various remedial options Literature referred to in the text will be provided on a CD as far as copy right restrictions provide Literature referred to in the text will be provided on a CD as far as copy right restrictions provide
