As an Engineering Aid, you can expect to be involved. Your involvement may include assisting the engineering officer in the design , conducting surveying operations required before or during construction , performing soil sample analysis in the field or laboratory, providing on-site construction quality control by taking material or compaction samples, developing as-built drawings, or keeping a record of actual job progress as opposed to planned schedule. Whatever your involvement , to be effective you need to be familiar with the terminology, methods, and materials of road and airfield construction.  \nObjectives  \nWhen you have completed this chapter, you will be able to do the following:  \n1. Describe the different methods of road construction.  \n2. Describe the different methods of airfield construction.  \n3. Describe the materials utilized in subbase and base course construction.  \nPrerequisites  \nNone  \n1.0.0 ROADS  \nDefinition: “A military road is any route used by the military for transportation of any type.” This includes everything from a superhighway to a path through the jungle. For construction purposes, the type of road required will depend on the mission(s) of the unit(s) that use it. In forward combat zones, the most expedient roads usually meet the requirements, that is, roads that will get the job done with no attempt for permanency. However, rear zones usually require some degree of permanency and relatively high construction standards.  \n1.1.0 Nomenclature  \nAs a senior EA, you may be assigned to the engineering division and help prepare working plans for constructing roads and airfields, for example, a two-lane earth, gravel, or paved-surface road. Figures 7-1 and 7-2 show a road’s basic parts.  \nFigure 7-1—Perspective view of road with road nomenclature.  \nFigure 7-2—Cross-section view of road with road nomenclature.  \nYou are likely to use the following definitions when preparing working plans for a road:  \n• Back Slope—The slope from the top of the cut to the bottom of the ditch (sometimes called cut slope) .  \n• Base—Select material (crushed stone, gravel, etc. ) placed in a layer over the subgrade to distribute the load to the subgrade.  \n• Blanket Course—A 1-or 2-inch layer of sand or screening spread upon the subgrade to prevent the subgrade from mixing with the base.  \n• Centerline—The exact center, or middle, of the roadbed.  \n• Crown—The elevation difference between the centerline and the edge of the traveled way.  \n• Cut—Two connotations:  \no An excavation through which the road passes.  \no The vertical distance the final grade is below the existing grade.  \n• Ditch Slope—The slope that ","cbCaibp6F7V50BF5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibp6F7V50BF5","pdf",4550398,36,"English","# Topics\n## 1.0.0 Roads\n## 2.0.0 Airfields\n## 3.0.0 Subbase and Base Course\n# Overview\n## Objectives\n## Prerequisites\n# 1.0.0 ROADS\n## 1.1.0 Nomenclature","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Chapter 7 in this course?\",\"answer\":\"Chapter 7 explains horizontal construction activities related to roads and airfields, including construction methods and the terminology needed for effective participation.\"},{\"question\":\"What learning objectives does the chapter set?\",\"answer\":\"After completing the chapter, learners can describe methods of road construction, methods of airfield construction, and materials used in subbase and base course construction.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the chapter cover under ROADS?\",\"answer\":\"It defines a military road and discusses how construction requirements vary by mission context, then introduces road nomenclature and key terms used in working plans.\"}]","Horizontal Construction - Chapter 7 - Horizontal Construction | PDF",1792800386,91]
