Design of roads
(OP)
Guys:
Is there any specification for subgrade thickness selection based on soil type. I am looking for roads in a wind farm. The roads will be used only during the construction for the turbine delivery and construction activities. Later they are used rarely.
We are looking for something like a county roads.
Please suggest any specifications
Thanks

Typical though of the windfarm planning though: Build as if no repairs and access will be required. The same roads used for maintenance are used for construction, and those loads will destroy cheap roadbeds. If not right on dry rock and firm sand, the construction roads you propose will tear up rapidly, erode out, and be useless.

Thanks for the inputs. I am wondering if there is any specification (AASHTO or US DOT) specifications for temporary or access roads construction?
Please let me know
