Applying the dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) design method to low volume roads

Author: Paige-Green, P Date: Jul 2011 The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) has been in use since the 1950s for various applications in pavement investigation. During the 1980s, Kleyn and Van Zyl described a method for upgrading unsealed roads to light sealed road standard based ... Read more
Appropriate roads for rural access

Author: Paige-Green, P Date: Mar 2006 Many rural villages still have inappropriate access consisting of earth tracks or at best gravel roads, neither of which necessarily provides all-weather access. These types of roads can have significant impact on the economic well-being of ... Read more
Cemented materials: accounting for compaction delays and minimising strength loss with time

Author: Bredenhann, SJ ; Paige-Green, P ; Jenkins, KJ Date: Aug 2012 In South Africa extensive use is made of cement stabilized materials in the structural layers of both new road and construction works and pavement rehabilitation. The construction process plays a role in the ultimate strength obtained for the ... Read more
CSIR’s advocacy and support of infrastructure asset management

Author: Wall, K ; Nordengen, Paul A ; Abbott, G ; Paige-Green, P ; Roux, Michael P Date: Nov 2008 That increasing attention is being paid to infrastructure asset management (IAM) is timely, and owes something to the work of the CSIR in discovering and documenting the state of infrastructure, and in leading specific aspects of the process ... Read more
CSIR’s contribution to the development of innovative technologies and solutions for enhanced road system performance

Author: Verhaeghe, Benoit MJA ; Maina, J ; Paige-Green, P ; De Beer, Morris ; Du Plessis, L Date: 01 Sep 2010 Road infrastructure is a key driver in supporting and stimulating socio-economic development. The South African road network, similar to those of other countries, needs to accommodate a wide spectrum of roads, ranging from light road pavement ... Read more
Dispersive and erodible soils - fundamental differences

Author: Paige-Green, P Date: Nov 2008 Dispersive, erodible and slaking soils are prevalent over wide areas of South Africa. Each of these materials increases the cost of construction, but dispersive soils are likely to lead to far more serious problems, particularly in dam ... Read more
Evaluation of damage to a road and sports complex on expansive clays

Author: Mgangira, Martin B ; Paige-Green, P Date: Aug 2008 The paper discusses a road rehabilitation project and a sports complex, where the underlying in situ materials were typical African black cotton soils known for their expansive characteristics. Field investigations were undertaken to discern ... Read more
Evaluation of issues around road materials for sustainable transport

Author: Steyn, WJVDM ; Paige-Green, P Date: Jul 2009 In addition to a number of other factors (social, economic, etc) sustainable transport requires the sustainable supply and use of construction materials. This includes the use of marginal materials, waste materials, novel / innovative materials ... Read more
Evaluation of the performance of aggregate in hot-mix asphalt

Author: Komba, Julius J ; O'Connell, Johannes S ; Paige-Green, P Date: Jul 2014 The overall performance of an asphalt mix is dependent on, amongst others, the properties of the constituent materials, which include aggregate, binder and filler. The aggregate for production of asphalt mixes is usually sourced from a quarry, ... Read more
Geology and engineering geology of roads in South Africa

Author: Paige-Green, P Date: Jul 2004 This paper briefly summarises the geological and geomorphological history of South Africa. This history is then related to various problems affecting the construction of roads in South Africa. These problems need to be identified early and ... Read more
Geology and petrology of road construction materials revisited; paper presented at 13th ARCSMGE conference in Marrakech, Morocco, December 2003

Author: Paige-Green, P Date: May 2004 As the need for road construction materials increased with urban and rural development, their availability is decreasing. They are becoming more costly, their extraction usually has serious environmental implications and many of the most ... Read more
Laboratory study to investigate the development of stiffness in stabilized materials

Author: Paige-Green, P ; Leyland, R ; Maharaj, A Date: Aug 2010 The development of stiffness of stabilized materials with time is critical to the construction process, particularly in the case of recycling, where traffic is often required to return to the recycled road soon after construction. However, ... Read more
Labour-based bitumen roads as cost-effective alternatives to conventional gravel wearing courses

Author: Paige-Green, P ; Hongve, J ; Sampson, L ; Cassiem, I Date: Sep 2004 The primary objective of the study discussed in this paper was to assess the different alternatives to the provision and maintenance of a good gravel wearing course, in financial and economic terms as well as suitability for labour-based ... Read more
Lessons learned during regular monitoring of in situ pavement bearing capacity conditions

Author: Paige-Green, P Date: Jul 2009 An investigation into the temporal variations of various pavement properties has been carried out in South Africa with regular monitoring over a period of one year. This involved the measurement of moisture content, in situ strength and ... Read more
Making Africa’s roads more resilient to climate change

Author: Paige-Green, P ; Verhaeghe, Benoit MJA Date: Oct 2018 The inevitable impacts of climate change on the already stressed low volume rural road networks in Africa will have dire consequences in many countries. These networks generally suffer from a lack of appropriate construction standards and ... Read more
Optimum design of sustainable sealed low volume roads using the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)

Author: Paige-Green, P ; Pinard, MI Date: Sep 2012 Sustainable upgrading of unsealed roads to a low volume sealed standard is best accomplished by maximising the use of the in situ materials within the prevailing road environment. Over the years and under traffic loading, unsealed roads achieve ... Read more
Predicting the durability of basic crystalline rocks for use as road construction materials

Author: Paige-Green, P Date: 27 Feb 2006 One of the major construction materials for high-quality pavement layers in roads in South Africa is the basic crystalline group of rocks, which outcrop locally and/or regionally over at least 60% of South Africa. Problems related to the ... Read more
