Description

INTRODUCTION Traditionally, many agrarian and village roads in undeveloped countries in the tropics are left unpaved. This poses problems throughout the year, in both the rainy and dry seasons. During the rainy season months, because there exists little or no provision for adequate surface or subsurface drainage of the roads, the roads become waterlogged and impassible. During the dry season months, dust raised by the wheels of passing vehicles becomes a major environmental and health hazard. The normal solution of applying a bituminous surfacing (either a surface treatment or an asphalt concrete wearing course) would eliminate the problems of dust encountered during the dry season, but its effect on the problem of impassibility when the roads are waterlogged is minimal, since these roads are seldom properly designed at the beginning in the first place. Moreover, the indigence of the concerned communities and the general unavailability of the resources required (finance, plant and materials) usually preclude the application of such solutions.
