Mining haul roads are a critical component of surface mining
infrastructure and the performance of these roads has a direct
impact on operational efficiency, costs and safety. A significant
proportion of a mine's cost is associated with material haulage and
well-designed and managed roads contribute directly to reductions
in cycle times, fuel burn, tyre costs and overall cost per tonne
hauled and critically, underpin a safe transport system. The first
comprehensive treatise on mining haul road design, construction,
operation and management, Mining Haul Roads - Theory and Practice
presents an authoritative compendium of worldwide experience and
state-of-the-art practices developed and applied over the last 25
years by the three authors, over three continents and many of the
world's leading surface mining operations. In this book, the
authors: Introduce the four design components of an integrated
design methodology for mining haul roads - geometric (including
drainage), structural, functional and maintenance management
Illustrate how mine planning constraints inform road design
requirements Develop the analytical framework for each of the
design components from their theoretical basis, and using typical
mine-site applications, illustrate how site-specific design
guidelines are developed, together with their practical
implementation Summarise the key road safety and geometric design
considerations specific to mining haul roads Specify the
mechanistic structural design approach unique to ultra-heavy wheel
loading associated with OTR mine trucks Describe the selection,
application and management of the road wearing course material,
together with its rehabilitation, including the use of palliatives
Develop road and operating cost models for estimating total
road-user costs, based on road rolling resistance measurement and
modelling techniques Illustrate the approach of costing a mining
road construction project based on the design methodologies
previously introduced List and describe future trends in mine
haulage system development, how mining haul road design will evolve
to meet these new system challenges and how the increasing
availability of data is used to manage road performance and
ultimately provide 24x7 trafficability. Mining Haul Roads - Theory
and Practice is a complete practical reference for mining
operations, contractors and mine planners alike, as well as civil
engineering practitioners and consulting engineers. It will also be
invaluable in other fields of transportation infrastructure
provision and for those seeking to learn and apply the
state-of-the-art in mining haul roads. "This book is the most
definitive treatise on mining haul roads ever written [...] There
has never been a text that addresses the many facets of mining haul
roads on such a scope [...]" From the Foreword by Jim Humphrey,
Professional Engineer, Autonomous haulage systems developer and
Distinguished Member of the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and
Exploration.
