COAST OF BRAZIL TO CRUZEIRO DO SUL ON THE FRONTIER WITH PERU. THE ROAD
IS MEANT TO SERVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF MINERAL WEALTH AND POPULATION
POLICY. THE GEOGRAPHICAL AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ARE DESCRIBED. AVERAGE
ANNUAL TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 25 AND 28 DEGREES; ANNUAL RAINFALL
LIES BETWEEN 1400 AND 3000 MM. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD BEGINS WITH THE
CUTTING OF A ROUTE THROUGH THE TROPICAL, VIRGIN FOREST WITH TREES UP TO 40
M HIGH. THE SWATHE IS 70 M WIDE, THE AVERAGE CLEARED STRIP 40 M, THE
FORMATION 9 M, THE CARRIAGEWAY 7 M WIDE, MAXIMUM GRADIENT 9%. THE FOUNDATION
CONSISTS MAINLY OF A COURSE OF CRUSHED ROCK. LATERITE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL. EXPERIENCE WITH LATERITE CONSTRUCTION METHODS
FOR ROADS HAS BEEN GAINED BY THE BRAZILIAN HIGHWAY AUTHORITIES SINCE 1962.
REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TRANS-AMAZON HIGHWAY FOR
CONTINENTAL ROAD COMMUNICATIONS.

AB: THIS PAPER DESCRIBES HOW DESIGNS AND ESTIMATES WERE MADE FOR A
SYSTEM OF LOW COST SECONDARY AND TERTIARY ROADS, AS WELL AS LOGGING TRAILS,
TO SERVE A RESETTLEMENT AREA IN THE STATE OF MARANHAO. THE AREA, SITUATED
ON THE FRINGES OF THE AMAZON BASIN, IS DENSELY FORESTED AND ACCESS WAS DIFFICULT.
NO MAPS WERE AVAILABLE SHOWING TOPOGRAPHY OR LAND DRAINAGE PATTERNS. THE
ROADS FORMED PART OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE STUDIES FOR A RESETTLEMENT PROJECT
IN WHICH NEARLY 40 FARMING VILLAGES WERE SITED. EACH VILLAGE WAS DESIGNED
TO ACCOMMODATE 50 FARMERS ON INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS OF APPROXIMATELY 120 ACRES
EACH. THE TOTAL PROJECT AREA WAS SOME 4000 SQ.KM. HUNTING TECHNICAL SERVICES
LTD WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROJECT AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE STUDIES MADE
BY RENDEL, PALMER AND TRITTON. ALL THE STUDIES AND REPORTS WERE COMPLETED
WITHIN APPROXIMATELY EIGHTEEN MONTHS. (Author/publisher).

AB: DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF BRAZILS TRANS- AMAZON
HIGHWAY, AN 8.6M WIDE EARTH ROAD, DESIGNED TO CARRY PERHAPS 100 OR 200 VEHICLES
PER DAY AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 50KM PER HOUR. PAVING WILL TAKE PLACE
LATER IF THE TRAFFIC GENERATED JUSTIFIES IT. THE EMPHASIS IS ON ECONOMY
IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS: GRADIENTS UP TO 9% ARE ALLOWED, A MINIMUM OF 30M IS
SET ON RADIUS OF CURVATURE OF BENDS, WHERE POSSIBLE THE ROAD IS ELEVATED
4-5M ABOVE THE SURROUNDING LAND, AND STREAMS ARE CARRIED THROUGH EMBANKMENTS
IN SMALL DIAMETER CONCRETE PIPES OR LARGER SEGMENTAL CORRUGATED STEEL CULVERTS.
SIMPLE HARDWOOD TIMBER BRIDGES TAKE THE ROAD OVER RIVERS UP TO 100M WIDE,
WHILST WIDER WATERS ARE CROSSED BY PONTOON FERRIES. THE COST OF THE ROAD
IS APPROXIMATELY #15,000 PER KM. FACTORS WHICH AFFECTED THE CHOICE OF ROUTE
ARE GIVEN, TOGETHER WITH THE METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD, AND THE
MATERIALS USED. THE INITIAL SURVEYING FOR THE ROAD WAS UNDERTAKEN FROM THE
AIR USING INFRA-RED SENSITIVE FILM WHICH SHOWED UP WET AREAS. GROUND SURVEY
PARTIES THEN MARKED THE BASIC LINE OF THE ROAD WITH STAKES, AND SPECIALISED
SURVEY TEAMS FOLLOWED TO COLLECT SOIL AND HYDROLOGICAL DATA TO ENABLE THE
PRECISE DESIGN OF THE ROAD TO BE DETERMINED. AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE CHOICE
OF ROUTE WAS TO HAVE SUITABLE PAVING MATERIALS ALWAYS NEAR AT HAND.
THE MUCKSHIFTING PLANT OFTEN COMPACTED THE LOWER LAYERS SUFFICIENTLY (THE
SPECIFICATION WAS 95% PROCTOR DENSITY FOR THE UNDERLYING EMBANKMENT, AND
100% FOR THE RUNNING SURFACE), AND THEN A SHEEPS-FOOT ROLLER COMPACTED THE
SURFACE TO THE DESIRED LEVEL. THE 200MM OF SURFACING CONSISTS OF EITHER LATERITE
WHICH AT THE RIGHT MOISTURE CONTENT FORMS A GRAVELLY CLAY, OR SHALE.

PY: 1966
AB: THE REQUIREMENT FOR RECONNAISSANCE MAPPING IN THE EARLY STAGES
OF HIGHWAY ENGINEERING UTILIZES THE ADVANTAGES OF AERIAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY.
SPECIFICALLY APPLICABLE ARE UNDEVELOPED AREAS WHERE NO SUITABLE MAP COVERAGE
EXISTS. THE USE OF EXISTING AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND GROUND CONTROL IS NECESSARY
IN DEVELOPING THE SURVEY. A TYPICAL PROJECT IN BOLIVIA EXTENDING FROM THE
AMAZON JUNGLE NEAR SEA LEVEL TO OVER 15,000 FEET IS USED AS AN ILLUSTRATION.
THE REQUIREMENTS, PROCEDURES, AND RESULTS, PLUS SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
BOTH IN THE OFFICE AND IN THE FIELD ARE IMPORTANT. THE EXTENT OF EXISTING
CONTROL AND PHOTOGRAPHY, AS WELL AS NEWLY ACQUIRED CONTROL AND PHOTOGRAPHY,
SERVE TO ILLUSTRATE THE PHOTOGRAMMETRIC PROBLEMS. /AUTHOR/.
