This Manual was commissioned and published by Interpave. The aim of the port pavement design process is to safeguard the pavement from failure over a predetermined period of time or number of cargo movements. There are four categories of failure associated with port pavements, viz:
- environmental failure
- structural failure
- surface failure
- operational failure.
Each of these categories may influence failure in one of the other three, so a complete port pavement design must address all of the issues which might lead on a particular project to one or more of these categories of failure. For example, a full port pavement design might comprise the following elements:
- Sustainable Drainage System (SUDS) design
- structural design
- surface drainage design
- surface operational characteristics
- provision of underground services
- traffic and storage management markings, signs and
structures
- interface with other facilities and structures
- selection of appropriate construction techniques
- working environmental issues
- aesthetics.
This Manual is concerned specifically with the structural design of pavements serving ports and other industries. It includes guidance on pavements designed to accord with SUDS requirements. Designers are advised to take into account all of the above issues plus others which are not listed but which might be of relevance to a specific project. Ignoring one or more component of the whole design process can lead to progressive reduction in pavement serviceability and performance so that ultimately one or more of the four categories of failure will occur.
Three sets of design calculations are included in this Manual.
Design Example 1: Reach Stacker Handling Containers
Design Example 2: Eight Wheel Straddle Carrier Handling Containers
Design Example 3: Distribution Warehouse with Dock Levellers
Also, five Overlay Design examples are included within the Overlay Design section of this Manual.
