DESIGN PROCEDURES RELATING TO THE WEBB DOCK CONTAINER TERMINAL IN MELBOURNE

The design of a heavy duty container terminal pavement at Webb Dock, Melbourne necessitated an appraisal of several current design procedures used for highway and airfield pavements. A literature survey has been conducted to compare elastic design methods and failure criteria selected for use in the design of the Webb Dock pavement. Particular problems associated with the Webb Dock site are discussed and details of the actual design briefly presented.
