Abstract:
At present,the design of port pavement in most parts of Africa adopts the Structural design of heavy duty pavements for ports and other industries (edition 4),while French-speaking countries in West Africa tend to adopt French standards. However,there is no specific standards for the design of the port pavement in current,and it refers to the standards for the design of road. Because the design method of directly multiple loads to standard loads in the French standard for road design cannot reflect the actual combination of port loads,it cannot be directly applied to the design for port pavement. Therefore,based on the pavement design of a new port in West Africa,this paper introduces a port pavement design method for port pavement under combined load with French standard. By comparing with the British standard design method,this paper analyzes the differences of design methods and pavement structure between the French standards and British standards,which provides support for the adoption of French standard.
