Road Design Standard Gazette

The document provides a glossary of terms related to road construction, including definitions for asphalt, base course, and traffic metrics. It also includes equivalence factors for different axle loads, detailing the ESA factors for various vehicle classifications. This information is essential for understanding the components and metrics used in pavement design and traffic analysis.

Glossary
Asphalt An adhesive substance that is used in road construction as a
binder material.
Asphalt Base The base course underneath the wearing course of a flexible
Course pavement which is treated with asphalt, is asphalt base course.
Asphalt Concrete A mixture to predetermined proportions of aggregate, filler and
(AC) bituminous binder material plant mixed and usually placed by
means of a paving machine.
Asphalt Surfacing The layer or layers of asphalt concrete constructed on top of the
base course, and, in some cases, the shoulders.
Asphalt Wearing The top course of an asphalt surfacing or, for gravel roads, the
Course uppermost layer of construction of the roadway made of
specified materials.
Average Annual The total yearly traffic volume in both directions divided by the
Daily Traffic (AADT) number of days in the year.
Average Daily The total traffic volume during a given time period in whole
Traffic (ADT) days greater than one day and less than one year divided by the
number of days in that time period.
Base Course This is the main component of the pavement contributing to the
spreading of the traffic loads. In many cases, it will consist of
crushed stone or gravel, or of good quality brick chips.
Bitumen The most common form of bitumen is the residue from the
refining of crude oil after the more volatile material has been
distilled off. It is essentially a very viscous liquid comprising
many long-chain organic molecules.
Carriageway That portion of the roadway including the various traffic lanes
but excluding shoulders.
Commercial A specific classification of vehicles is suggested by Bangladesh
Vehicle Planning Commission to be considered for survey and design
purpose; among the enlisted vehicles, vehicles itemized
sequentially from “delivery vehicle” to “7 Axle vehicle” are
defined as commercial vehicle.
Crest Peak formed by the junction of two gradients.
Design Period The period of time that an initially constructed or rehabilitated
pavement structure will perform before reaching a level of
deterioration requiring more than routine or periodic
maintenance.

Note: For local vehicles in different areas used as commercial vehicles, the ESA factor
can be assumed by applying engineering judgment.
