    Muh. Wardiman M.
    This document discusses mine road design. It provides guidelines for determining road width based on vehicle size, recommends a width of at least 3.5 times the truck width for bi-directional travel. It also discusses curve super-elevation to balance centrifugal force, the need for cross-slope to drain water, factors for road safety, and emphasizes regular maintenance for road performance and lower long-term costs.

    MINE ROAD DESIGN

    ROAD DESIGN

    Pavement (road) width should be sufficient for the


    required number of lanes. The associated safety
    shoulders are incorporated in the carriageway width
    and drainage features should be included in the
    formation width. The widest vehicles proposed
    determine the road width.

    3
    ROAD DESIGN

    The diagram shows a lane width of


    13m and a road width of 23m for a
    6.5m wide RDT. At least 3.5 times the
    width of the truck should be used for
    the road width for bi-directional travel.
    This width excludes shoulders, berms
    and drains. Note that this accepted
    design methodology (3,5W) requires
    ‘sharing’ of the clearance allocation
    between lanes, which will require good
    driving skills - especially with larger
    haul trucks (to judge off-side
    clearance). Where traffic volumes are
    high or visibility limited, a safe road
    width would be 4W.

    4
    CURVE SUPER-ELEVATION

    Super-elevation refers to the amount of banking applied on the outside of a curve to allow the truck to run through the
    curve at speed. Ideally, the outward centrifugal force experienced by the truck should be balanced by the lateral (side)
    friction between tyres and road (taken as zero in the table below). Super-elevations should not exceed 5% -7%, unless
    high-speed haulage is maintained and the possibility of sliding minimized.

    5
    CROSS-SLOPE

    Water gathered on the road


    surface

    A cross-fall, crown or camber is critical to the design and successful operation of mine roads.
    Applying a cross-fall, crown or camber ensures water does not gather on and penetrate into the road surface. Standing
    water on or in a road is extremely damaging and every attempt should be made to get water off the road as quickly as
    possible - but without inducing excessive erosion caused by high run-off velocities.

    ROAD MAINTENANCE
    A poor road will always require a lot of repair - or 'maintenance' - work to be done. This will
    slow the trucks due to both poor road conditions and the maintenance work itself. An often cited
    statistic is that once a road has deteriorated, it takes 500% more time to fix it than it took to originally
    build. The better the roads are built, the slower the deterioration rate and the less maintenance will be
    required.
    A little time and effort spent in building to ‘specification’ will result in long term benefits -
    reduced repair work and better performance. A well-built and cost-effective haul road lies somewhere
    between the extremes of:
     Design and build a road that needs no repair or routine maintenance over its life - very expensive to
    build, but cheaper to operate; or
     Build a road with very little design input, that needs a lot of repair, a high-intensity of maintenance
    and rehabilitation over its life - very cheap to build, but very expensive to operate.

    This is where an integrated approach to mine haul road design pays dividends - designing a road to be
    built and maintained over its operating life at the lowest overall (build and operate) cost.
